A North East brand communications agency has made two new appointments as it continues to grow.
Sunderland based Creo Comms has appointed Michael McHugh and Ryan Hogan to boost its web design and digital marketing offer, to meet increasing demand. It takes the business’s team to 16, and the company is eyeing a move to new premises to support its growth.
Michael’s expertise includes web and UI design, graphic design and front-end web development. He has over two decades’ experience, working with organisations such as Nissan, Stagecoach and the NHS.
Joining Creo means Michael is reunited with former Farringdon Comprehensive School classmates Louise Bradford – MD of the company – and Ross Johnston – a talented videographer and photographer who joined Creo last year – with the trio having previously been in the same form class from 1997 until 2002.
Michael said: “It’s great to be part of the Creo team and to be working with some familiar faces who – by chance – have all ended up working in the same sector, and now all on the same team.
“As someone from Sunderland I’m delighted to be able to join a company that is doing great work across the North of England. I’m looking forward to getting stuck into some exciting projects.”
Ryan is an experienced digital marketer with an eye for commerciality and brings particular expertise in e-commerce and SEO, paid social media and customer relationship management (CRM).
“I’m really pleased to be joining Creo,” said Ryan. “It’s a company that is growing and has a large portfolio of clients.
“My passion is for helping organisations generate leads and improve customer experience, so I’m looking forward to getting to know new clients and supporting them to reach their goals.”
A full-service agency, Creo works with clients in a range of sectors from manufacturing to real estate, and hospitality to professional services.
Louise Bradford, managing director of Creo Comms, added: “I’m delighted to welcome Michael and Ryan to the team.
“They are both experts in their fields and bring a new dimension to Creo that will enable us to continue our growth trajectory into 2025. I’m looking forward to seeing the impact they have on our business, and most importantly, on our clients’ businesses.”
