People: Cartwright Communications; IMA Architects
Cartwright Communications has welcomed five new faces to enhance its ecommerce, event management, social media and SEO offering.
Account directors Fran Prince and Addie Kenogbon, content specialist Georgina Kiely, social media manager Samantha Hess and social media executive Chantai Bravo join the Nottingham agency following a year of growth which has seen it expand into new offices in Birmingham and London.
Prince brings almost ten years of PR and marketing experience to the firm having previously operated as head of comms at a Midlands-based brand agency. She also spent five years with global gifting company Prezzybox.
Kenogbon brings her expert eye to the company’s event management and influencer marketing services and has already overseen the launch of several hospitality venues in Nottingham including Binks Yard, Bustler Market and The Beeston Social.
She joins Cartwright from fellow East Midlands agency Tank.
Kiely, a former digital food editor at BBC Good Food magazine, will help develop the agency’s SEO offering, while Hess and Bravo will form the nucleus of a new social media services team.
Rose Hayes, director at Cartwright Communications, said: “The past year has seen lots of positive change for the agency and its clients, with fresh expertise adding new services and bolstering our existing specialisms. We’re excited about the potential of this for clients as well the opportunity it poses for continued growth, not only in terms of the business but in the skillset and career progression of our team.”
IMA Architects has announced a pair of new hires.
Tasawar Rahim
Tasawar Rahim and Jessica Moody have joined the Blaby-based practice as Part 2 architectural assistant and architectural assistant respectively.
Rahim previously worked on a range of residential projects in Iraq.
He said: “Having been exposed to different cultures and environments I’ve learnt how to produce diverse concepts – and this is something I hope to enhance further. At IMA, I will get the opportunity to work on projects that have different scales and typologies, and I can’t wait to get stuck in.”
Moody joins IMA from the Welsh School of Architecture in Cardiff.
Jessica Moody
She said: “I am really happy to be joining the IMA team and look forward to applying my new qualifications – and my curiosity – to the creation and development of architecture. And I look forward to embarking on new challenges with a reputable company.”
IMA’s managing director Ian McCann said: “We are delighted to welcome Tasawar and Jessica to IMA, adding two new strings to the company’s bow and supporting new talent into the industry. Today, our team – which has grown by 66% in the last 24-months – has over 100 years’ experience in the industry and, with significant growth across all business areas, there are no plans to slow down.
“A strong and diverse staff base is key to our continued business success. We employ talented Architects, Designers and Technologists ranging from graduate staff to Chartered personnel, and we’re targeting a further 20% growth by 2024.”
