Richard Dean, a former creative director of New York agency The Joneses, has joined TBWA\Manchester as head of creative development.
Dean (pictured) joins the agency after a spell freelancing at Wieden and Kennedy in Amsterdam and will report into executive creative director, Pete Lewtas.
As well as "enhancing the creative output of the agency" Dean's role also includes responsibility for nurturing its younger creative talent.
