Communications agency appoints new creative services manager

Integrated marketing communications consultancy Leopard Co has made a key hire for its creative department through the appointment of James Dignum as creative services manager.

The Birmingham-based agency says James’s appointment comes in response to a significant increase in client demand for “high-quality, human-made creative content”.

Co-founder and CEO of Leopard Co, Rachel Roberts, said: “More clients than ever are coming to our team to invest in authentic, real, human creativity.

“As brands start to realise the limitations of AI-driven content, we are firmly positioning ourselves at the forefront of human creativity in marketing.”

As creative services manager, James oversees the Leopard Co studio, championing creativity for both clients and the internal team.

He is responsible for all content design, art direction and illustration delivered across the business.

James (pictured) joins the team after working for over 10 years at top marketing agencies across the UK.

Roberts added: "James is an unrivalled, talented creative, able to translate a brand and its audience into the right creative to deliver real value and results.

“We’re delighted to welcome him into the Leopard Co family and we can’t wait to further grow our creative studio offering for current clients and those yet to join us this year.”

James said: “Creativity is a vital part of the story for the brands we work with, and I’m thrilled to be joining a team that really believes in the value of creativity.

“I’m excited to add to the services that we currently offer and start delivering more great work for great clients!”

Leopard Co has enjoyed a bumper start to the year with three new client wins across the pet, manufacturing and health sectors.

The business has welcomed Kingsbury, SONAS Bathrooms and Kat & Co as clients.
