Sense Internet man joins growing AWA
Leeds-based agency AWA is continuing its growth with the appointment of two more employees, one of whom joins from Sense Internet.
Philip Meitiner joins as account director within the web design and build team, overseeing all web projects and developing this fundamental part of the AWA business. Most recently, Meitiner worked at Sense Internet as Account Director on accounts including GMAC (General Motors finance arm), BAFTA, Rizla and Trutex.
Before Sense, Meitiner worked in his native South Africa for Research International, conducting consumer research primarily for Unilever.
Commenting on his reasons for joining AWA, Philip said: “AWA has a reputation for being an agency that inspires loyalty and brings out the best in its staff, whilst producing quality work. I’m looking forward to getting to know clients including BAE Systems, GatenbySanderson and Lakeland and playing a key role in helping AWA to further develop its web offering and client list.”
Another recent AWA recruit is Matt Booth who joins the digital marketing team as account executive. Booth joined the day after completing his Business and Marketing degree and will be working across a number of digital marketing clients including Lakeland, Pets at Home, Republic and RNLI.
Booth comments: “Joining AWA fresh out of university and working on such high profile clients is a dream come true. Already, I’ve been exposed to every part of the AWA business – from strategic planning to front and back end development, creative to media planning and buying, and feel that I’m in the best place possible to start my marketing career.”
AWA’s managing director Christina Marks believes the appointments are significant for a number of reasons: “We have a growing reputation for delivering digital work which is rooted in strong strategic understanding, delivered through compelling creative execution and built to an excellent standard. The appointment of Philip and Matt will help us to continue to exceed our clients’ expectations on every level.”
“Philip brings with him a wealth of strategic and project management experience from a very well respected agency. We’re looking forward to him applying that knowledge and experience to our own business as we continue our drive to develop into new sectors and services.”
