Leading Manchester digital agency Project Octo can announce that it has added a new digital marketing account manager, Anne Kelly. Anne joins the King Street based firm, following a distinguished and successful career at a variety of top digital agencies including Brass, Amaze, and MediaCom in the UK, and Carat Interactive in Paris.
“I’m delighted to join the Project Octo team at such an exciting time in the development of the business”, says Anne, who adds more international flavour having grown up in Bordeaux and Paris.
It’s a major hire for the agency, which last month announced a brand new international office in Melbourne, Australia. Anne has joined the Manchester team to provide top level strategy, client facing support and develop the agency’s culture to match the very best practices in the industry.
“We wanted to make a statement of intent and bring in someone who could help shape the business at a crucial time in our development”, explains director Adam Pritchard.
“With more client and employee acquisition on the horizon, it was essential to find someone who could help us develop the team aspect of the business and build great relationships with our clients. We’re looking forward to a great 2017”.
The company is also pleased to welcome trainee developer, Lewis Briffa. The Salford University student is on a sandwich year, picking up vital experience in the private sector.
Project Octo has recently set up a partner business, Shopit, to market its innovative and versatile ecommerce platform. Shopit is designed to compete with software such as Magento and BigCommerce, and will be made available to selected partner agencies later this year.
