I’m looking forward to developing capabilities in new and emerging disciplines and supporting the growth agenda.”
Garner joins from Advertising Principles and said that he too was drawn by Savvy’s rosta of clients: “I was blown away by the brands that Savvy work with and the opportunity to create great work together with a really talented team,” he said. “Even in the short time I’ve been at Savvy we’ve worked on some brilliant projects and I’m excited about the growth of the team.”
Catherine Shuttleworth, CEO at Savvy, added: “Over the last 12 months we have seen huge growth across the business in all areas and have been adding more creative talent to the team. We want to create a real pipeline of creative talent here in Leeds to service our clients across the world. “
