Social marketing agency The Hub has appointed three new members of staff, including an account director, a senior account manager and an account manager.
Hazel Seaman joins The Hub from research agency Opinion Leader. Seaman will be responsible for research-led social marketing campaigns. She has previously worked for Defra, the Department of Health and Bupa.
Kristian Bentham has been named new senior account manager. He has been appointed to develop and deliver The Hub’s above-the-line offering. Bentham’s marketing experience has been mainly in the public and environmental sectors. In 2008, Bentham won the Big Campaign Award for his work with Keep Britain Tidy’s national fast food litter campaign.
Bentham is a former consultant with the office of the Deputy Prime Minister. He has also worked with the Environment Agency.
Karen Flaherty has been appointed as account manager. Her previous experience includes working on campaigns for McCann Erickson and GyroHSR, where she project managed integrated marketing programmes for international pharmaceutical and biotech clients.
“We have grown rapidly over the last year,” says The Hub’s MD Helen Johnson. “In order to capitalise on this momentum and further drive innovation, it is essential that we attract, recruit and retain the very best practitioners from our sector. These appointments have been made because all three have all demonstrated both the skills and the passion required to realise this vision and will be central in delivering the highly effective, results-driven social marketing campaigns.”
