Communications agency, Icon Agency, has appointed Justin Armsden as its head of media.

“As an integrated agency we are home to a wealth of talent, so we draw on our team of experts to offer valuable insights on a broad range of subjects. Whether it’s focussing on the ever-changing world of mainstream and social media or diving deep into the complex world of digital, creative and marketing, we help you gain a greater understanding.”
Joanne Painter, managing director at Icon Agency, said in a statement: “He will play a strategic role in issues and crisis management, as well as media training and presentation, arming Icon with the prowess in media other agencies can’t parallel.

Justin’s addition to the team will further lift the calibre of our media training, issue and crisis management, and media relations. These are the fields that benefit particularly from profound experience in the industry, and hence Justin is a perfect fit.”
