In the UK, insight business Walnut Unlimited has promoted three employees to its Board: Gregor Jackson, Cristina de Balanzo and Chris Bland.

Walnut Unlimited was formed in 2017 when marcoms network the Unlimited Group combined four of its existing insight businesses to form what it describes as a 'human understanding' agency. Jackson has led ICM Unlimited, Walnut's specialist social research unit, and his expertise will now be further extended to the wider Walnut team.

In addition, de Balanzo leads the agency's consultancy offering and contributes to Walnut's neuroscience presence. She set up consumer neuroscience consultancy Walnut in 2012, and sold it to Unlimited Group (previously Creston) in 2014. Bland has played a key role in the development and growth of Walnut's key accounts, both in the UK and internationally.

Commenting on the promotions, MD Jane Rudling said: 'Each new Director brings a unique quality to Walnut Unlimited. They have already proven themselves as cutting-edge researchers, inspirational leaders and all three are respected internally as well as by the wider insight community. Their individual contributions to the business so far have been outstanding and we look forward to seeing what they bring to the business in their new leadership roles.'
