Love enters digital market

Manchester-based brand consultancy Love is launching a digital offer, along with a raft of new appointments and projects.

The digital team has been fully integrated into Love’s existing operation, and enters the market with £250 000 worth of projects for Dr Martens, De Vere Hotels, Silver Cross, Ellis Williams Architects and Fact, according to the consultancy.

It will be led by Jono Brain, from digital consultancy Code Computer Love, in the role of technical architect and Chris Conlan, from Magnetic North, as client services director.

James Boardwell, on-line strategist at Love, has been retained to provide specialist on-line support to Love’s existing planning team. A number of major creative appointments are planned for the next six months, as well as further digital hirings.

The integration between on-line and off-line has been managed by Love partner Jonathan Rigby.
