People: Cite; Bridge Help

Leicester-based creative agency Cite has appointed a new creative director.

Stu Perry has more than 30 years’ agency experience and has worked with global brands including Avis and Harley-Davidson.

He was most recently group creative director at M3.Agency.

A new client services director, Dan Caputo, and account director, Amie Massarella, have also joined the business, which expanded through a merger with brand agency Well & Truly in 2021.

Perry said: “The desire and leadership comes right from the top at Cite. I immediately felt lots of energy, intelligence, and trust joining the team and I’m looking forward to building up the creative output even further and working closely with Dan to instil a rigorous sense of purpose and fulfilment as we become a top 100 independent agency.”

Chesterfield-based bridging loan provider Bridge Help has bolstered its business development team with a new appointment.
