With effect from June, Thomas will assume responsibility for driving creative output for a range of clients including Boots, comparethemarket.com, O2 and Ikea, with a brief to further the agency’s direct, digital brand and innovation capability.

Prior to joining SapientNitro Thomas co-founded digital agency Brand Advocate where he brought on board clients including Louis Vuitton and Hendricks Gin. Thomas also fronted JWT’s digital and direct arm in a previous life and led Saatchi & Saatchi’s integrated business in London.

Thomas said: “For me, Lida already fuses a deep knowledge of loyalty and data, and now I’ve got a brilliant opportunity to apply an additional layer of technological knowhow and creativity. To be working with a team of kindred spirits, who totally understand the business of being direct, feels really exciting.”

Victoria Fox, CEO of Lida, added: “Trefor’s passion and drive, coupled with his multi-platform and award-winning expertise, made him the perfect person to strengthen the creative agenda across all Lida clients.”

In a career spanning two decades Thomas has won three Gold Cannes Lions awards as well as a host of other accolades.
