Manchester digital marketing agency, Custard, has named Alex Duthie as its new Managing Director.
Duthie joined the agency in 2017 from McCann Connected, initially in the role of Head of SEO, before becoming Head of Delivery.
“We’ve got an excellent client base which keeps growing so it’s a really exciting time to be taking over as Managing Director,” explained Duthie.
“The agency has been achieving excellent results for our clients, but we’re not looking to stand still and are continually evolving our offering to ensure all clients receive best in class digital marketing.”
His promotion will see him acquire a 25% stake in the firm.
As a result, Chris Smith, previously the sole owner, will move into the role of CEO.
“I’m delighted that Alex is taking over as Managing Director at Custard after 5 years of excellent work. The agency will continue to achieve great results across an expanding scope of work with Alex at the helm,” said Smith.
