Big hitters to help agency Bloom

A FAST-GROWING Yorkshire digital agency has hired big hitters from the worlds of e-commerce and public relations to beef up its senior team.

Dave Wood, formerly managing director of Howden-based eBuyer, and Nathan Lane, who used to head Bell Pottinger’s Leeds office, will help Bloom to launch new services and expand its international capabilities.

The agency employs nearly 70 people and expects to grow headcount to 100 in the coming months. The £4m turnover business has grown rapidly over the last couple of years by developing experienced teams in data analytics, branding, creative and social media.
