Alan Davies, the former Director of Photography at The Hut Group and Senior Creative Manager at Shop Direct, has joined Zut.
With more than 30 years experience in the retail and fashion sector, he’ll take up the role of Creative and Studio Director at the Liverpool company.
He’ll work alongside fellow Creative Director, Matthew Thompson at its newly expanded 24,000sq ft studio space. Thompson will continue to lead its video division, while Davies will be focusing on photography and design.
“This is a really amazing space and it feels like we’re building something really special,” said Davies, who spent the last 5 years at THG and almost 15 at Shop Direct.
“The studio itself is fully versatile, perfectly placed and the range of production and post-production services we offer are comprehensive.
“Matt and the team are already known for their agility and ability to deliver hard-working, highly commercial creative content, working reactively and to the tightest deadlines so I’m delighted to be joining them.”
MD owner, Mark Hancock added:
“We’re thrilled to have someone with his skills, considerable experience and reputation, joining our senior team.
“This has been a really exciting 12 months for us all at Zut and there’s more to come.
“We are a Liverpool agency with global reach and big ambitions.”
