FACE Expands Teams in London and New York

Cello-owned co-creation agency FACE has appointed six new consultants in New York and London, following several new clients wins in the digital sector.

The agency, which also has offices in Hong Kong and Singapore, has a turnover of more than £8m and a team of 60 comprising planners, researchers and social media specialists working on new product development, concept generation, brand insight and positioning projects. In 2013, Face launched a social media research platform called Pulsar TRAC, and Pulsar is now a business in its own right, with a team of fifteen and revenues of £2.5m.

In the US, Dori Cohen joins as Digital Research Manager, having previously worked at Unruly as ShareRank Project Manager; and Carolina Borja becomes Production Manager, after serving as Qualitative Field Manager at Perception Research Services.

In London, former Future Foundation researcher Annie Bell becomes Service Design Research Manager; Sam Deacon takes up the role of Business Development Manager, after working at the Arena International Events Group; Harrison Tolhurst joins as Resource Manager (UK & US), from his previous position as Studio Manager at creative digital agency Tangent Snowball; and Sophie Benello has been hired as an Account Co-ordinator, after working as a freelance consultant for clients in the luxury lifestyle, retail, FMCG, and media industries.

CEO Job Muscroft (pictured) comments: 'It is an exciting time for the agency as the scepticism towards digital, social media and collaborative research appears to be fading away. We are seeing the integration of this digital data get clients closer to people's actual behaviour and how they relate to brands and products'.
