Silverchip co-founder, Jamie McMullan, said of the new hires:
It’s a very exciting time for Silverchip. Our agency grew significantly in 2016 and looking at our current list of clients, along with the significant projects that we have planned for delivery in 2017, it’s the right time to step up the agency. These new hires will have a significant impact on our business, especially as they’re starting by looking at our brand to ensure we’re accurately portraying our position within the market.
We are also investing in our marketing heavily this year and will be exhibiting at Prolific North Live for the first time. It seems like the perfect opportunity to celebrate our growth and further integrate ourselves within the Northern digital community that we know and love.
Established in 2008 by Liam Bateman and Jamie McMullan, Silverchip works with clients including: England Squash, William Hill, Aunt Bessie’s and Rehau among others.
