Front grows account management team with new digital specialist

Front – the Sheffield based creative agency – has grown its account management team and added to its digital offering with the appointment of Richard Blakey who joins the business as an account manager.

Richard joins Front from Ledgard Jepson. He has previously held marketing positions at Bauer Media – Europe’s largest media publisher - and the Ambassador Theatre Group – the world’s number one live-theatre company.

His new role will see him focusing on digital marketing, social media, SEO, email and content marketing as well as strategy and design for the agency’s roster of clients which includes Costcutter, Legoland Discovery Centre, Redrow plc and Marshalls.

Joe Chetcuti – director of Front – said: “We are pleased that Richard is now part of the Front team. He brings an in-depth strategic and tactical knowledge of digital that further enhances our creative offering to our clients.”

Richard added: “Front had been on my radar for a while so I’m excited about my role – especially as it allows me to fully integrate my digital skills with the agency’s wider creative and offline marketing functions.”

Richard’s arrival follows a busy year for Front following major wins with Legoland Discovery Centre, Costcutter, Marshalls and Middlesex University.
