Commenting on his appointment, Steve said: “This is a challenging time for businesses, but an exciting phase for digital communications and marketing which is coming to the fore as a way to help businesses differentiate and recover post-lockdown.

“Organisations all over the world are reviewing and refining their digital strategies as they look to find new ways to reach, engage with and sell to customers. I’m looking forward to working with such a great portfolio of national and international brands and local businesses, and working with the team to help get our clients in the best position possible to face the future head on, with robust digital marketing strategies and superb creative content that sets them apart from competitors.”

Steve’s appointment falls during O’s 15^th birthday month.
