Navigate Digital has appoint radio DJ and broadcaster Ben Jones as a non-executive director.

Appointment: Jones has been named non-executive director

Jones will work with the agency on new business and development and on refining the company strategy. He brings with him 13 years’ experience in broadcasting and content creation and has enjoyed stints at Absolute Radio, the BBC and ITV. Jones will remain in his current position of creative director at Maple Street Studios, a producer of audio and visual advertising and content.

John Kimbell, managing partner at Navigate Digital, said: “The lines between digital and audio/visual media are blurring, and brands need content and campaigns that extend across multiple platforms. It’s really exciting to be working with Ben as he helps us to establish our credentials across the full range of media channels.”

Jones added: “People are demanding a more creative advertising approach and better content, whether through digital, audio or video. As a result the media space has utterly transformed in recent years.

“I’ll be working with the team at Navigate in an advisory capacity, helping steer brands through this new environment and help them engage with consumers across the entire spectrum of media at their disposal. It’s an exciting time to be a consumer and creator of content.”

Prior to the appointment, Jones worked with the digital agency in June on a campaign for Park Resorts.
