AS part of its expansion and recruitment of 10 new team members, digital agency Bolser has announced a new hire this week, which sees it investing in a psychology graduate to work with its digital designers and marketeers.
Hannah Drakard, a student from Leeds Metropolitan University, has already been involved in a global pitch for an international brand, providing psychological insights into how people absorb information and learn. Applying her knowledge of human behaviour and of the varying psyche’s of individuals when it comes to absorbing information, Bolser was able to hone their recommendations around gamification as a route to online learning.
Ashley Bolser, M.D, who founded the agency in 2001, said: “We work with a number of global technology brands on customer communications, digital brand interactions, and online learning platforms. We’ve always provided advice and insights to clients on consumer behaviour, based on marketing research and analysis, but now we’re taking our service one step further. Enabling brands to really get under the skin of their consumers, by understanding their psyche enables us to develop platforms and technologies that we know they will respond to. We’re really excited to bring this extra layer of depth to our clients.”
The agency team helps to deliver marketing and communication strategy for national and international clients with a particular emphasis on digital, web and mobile marketing.
Bolser’s clients include Asda, Microsoft, United Nations, BBC and EE.
