Thumb picks up a new MD

Thumb, the branding and marketing communications consultancy, has appointed a new managing director, following the departure of Roger Cleghorn eight months ago.

Graham Brown, former Aegis Group director and managing director of its subsidiary Carat International takes on the role, after an “amicable settlement” with Cleghorn, says Thumb chairman Peregrine Newton.

“Graham understands the media world, the importance of branding and relationships with clients. He is somebody who can add a great deal to the business,” says Newton.
