SLG Marketing, the Manchester-based specialist B2B marketing communications agency, has added Tom Vardy and Chris Clark to its Creative and New Media teams as creative designer and new media developer.
Having graduated with a degree in Graphic Design at Staffordshire University, this is Tom's all important first role."I decided to make the move to Manchester as there’s such a vibrant creative industry up here," explains Tom. "Once I'd spoken to Tony Hackett, SLG's Creative Director, I knew that the agency was the right place for me to start my career. I’m excited to be part of an agency that’s developing and places a big emphasis on creativity and ideas."
Chris joins SLG from the B2C arena, where he developed the digital presence for high-profile consumer brands including Imperial Leather and EA Games. "I've worked with consumer clients for most of my career and wanted to apply my skills to a new sector," comments Chris. "The B2B industry is full of challenging and interesting work and SLG want to be the best at what they do. Communicating to complex audiences with a desire for intelligent and technical content is the reason I chose to join the agency and I believe my skills will add something different to the digital team."
Mark Gill, joint managing director at SLG comments: "We want to work with and nurture the best talent in the industry and we're delighted to welcome Tom and Chris to the agency. We scoured this year's pool of design graduates and were immediately impressed with Tom's portfolio of creative work and his passion for creativity. It’s now our responsibility to give Tom the opportunity to flourish and ensure he fulfils his potential.
"Chris brings excellent experience and fresh ideas to our digital team. We spent a significant period of time searching for someone who we felt could add a new dimension to the agency and we were very pleased when he agreed to join us.
By identifying and recruiting the best people in the industry we'll continue to create and deliver market-leading campaigns for our B2B clients that set the standard for the industry. It’s an exciting time for us as we expand the team and we’re very proud that two of the brightest talents have agreed to join us."
