People: Clearwater International; Fluid Ideas
Clearwater International has appointed a new director Head of Impact to steer its ESG strategy in each of its core regions – including here in the Midlands.
Jo Daley brings 15 years’ experience of developing and implementing corporate responsibility and sustainability strategy to the firm.
She said: “It is a pleasure to join Clearwater International to support the business in its goals to continuously improve within the marketplace. The business is well-placed to make a positive impact on both people and the environment. I’m really looking forward to working with the team to make this vision a reality.”
Derby-based creative agency Fluid Ideas has promoted its search and social media head to associate partner.
Ben Meakin
Ben Meakin, who currently leads a 10-strong team, is the fourth member of the Fluid Ideas team to be promoted to the role.
The news comes after the company posted record annual revenues of £3.2m in the year to November.
Ed Bowler, joint managing director at Fluid, said: “From the outset, it was apparent that Ben had a real hunger for the world of search and social. He won our first significant social media client within a few weeks, has continued to grow our digital offering and now heads a 10-strong team from a standing start.
“He brings sheer passion, energy, creativity and a natural positivity to Fluid. He leads by example in his ambition and in the way he supports the team and encourages them to grow and push the boundaries of what they can achieve.
“We have always prioritised internal growth rather than senior external appointments, and Ben’s fully deserved promotion is another good example of this strategy.”
