Promise Communispace Hires Former Flamingo Director

London-based co-creation consultancy Promise Communispace has appointed former Flamingo Board Director Jo Shaw, to lead a team of consultants focusing on strategic insight and innovation work using collaboration and co-creation techniques.

The firm was formed last year from a merger between Omnicom-owned online community specialist Communispace, and Promise Corporation. The group now has more than 400 staff worldwide, with offices in London, Boston, New York, Shanghai and Sao Paulo.

During her three years at consumer and cultural insight agency Flamingo, Shaw (pictured) created and managed the firm's Total Learning Programme, and led global projects for key clients. Prior to this, she co-founded two brand research and innovation consultancies - Different River and Beagle/Shaw Research and Planning - before which she held ad agency planning roles at Leo Burnett Advertising, Lowe Howard-Spink, and Ogilvy & Mather.

Promise Communispace MD Doron Meyassed comments: 'Jo has an incredibly sharp mind, is inspiringly creative and, most importantly, she has a track record of creating new strategies, products and brands with impact for clients. She also brings with her a wealth of innovation and insight techniques that will further push the boundaries of our offer.'
