Love creates second tier management board
Manchester-based creative agency Love has announced that it is to create a second tier management board as the agency’s directors look for more time to concentrate on new initiatives.
The agency has told The Drum that it has assembled an internal team of six made up of Darren Hughes, Richard Hall, Chris Conlan, Dave Bevan, Jono Brain and Paul Chorlton.
The board will liaise with the founding directors Alistair Sim, Phil Skegg and Dave Palmer frequently, but will be allowed to make many of the major day-to-day decisions.
Sim and Skegg will be given more time to work on the agency’s new ideas initiative ‘Make’ which will encourage and grow entrepreneurial ideas from within the agency as a potential new stream of revenue.
The two will be aided at Make by Rupinder Ashworth who it is understood will focus on new business.
One such idea already underway is to launch a creative talent agency named ‘Toy’ which will be led by designer Chris Gray.
Toy will build a network of creatives from around the world including digital designers, illustrators and musicians and nurture their talent and find them ways of using it within the creative industry.
