Yeap said: “This move will allow us to keep the core business solid, while Caroline focuses on developing our capability in content marketing, exploring new tools and technologies and establishing relevant partnerships that will help future-proof the agency.
“The launch of our content production studio has been game-changing for the agency and for our clients, and we’re keen to continue innovating with our creative and digital services.”
In other appointments, Sarah Robertson has been promoted to strategy and marketing manager from senior account manager.
Brooke Stephenson has been appointed as marketing co-ordinator while Elena Goh is set to become the finance and operations manager.
The hires come after Keep Left made expansions to its content production team earlier this month.
