On the move: the latest East Midlands hires

Marketing agency Purpose Media has appointed Tania Garland as a senior account manager.

Garland joins Purpose Media from the print and advertising industry having previously worked as a project manager for a UK supermarket brand. She was responsible for all of their UK stores specialising in point of sale, front of house advertising and promotional materials. She also worked on large scale campaigns for seasonal events such as Christmas, Diwali and Easter.

In her new role Garland will be advising on marketing strategy and acting as the account manager for a client portfolio that will include businesses in the tech, sporting, retail apparel and recruitment sectors.

She said: “Whilst print and point of sale is an important part in the marketing mix I was eager to get more involved in digital marketing as this area of marketing is so much more trackable. As a company, Purpose Media is very client focused, forward thinking and innovative in the ways they ensure our client marketing strategies are focused, objectives are met and campaigns deliver an return on investment.”

Derby-based marketing agency think3 has hired two new faces.

Gabriela Brebene, website developer and Sami Mohammad, graphic designer have joined the think3 team.

Mohammed said: “My time at think3 has been a five-star experience so far. I cannot wait to see what other exciting projects I will be involved in.”

Brebene said: “Love what you do and do what you love is a motto I live by – I have loved my time at think3 so far!”

Grant Thompson, creative director & co-founder of think3, added: “We are delighted to welcome both Sami and Gabriela into the think3 family. It is a pleasure to have both of them on board. They each bring a lot of talent and personality to our team across design and development, and we can’t wait to see the fantastic impact they will have on our clients and for think3.”
