Digby Richards, CEO Richards Rose, said: “We interviewed some exceptional candidates over the last few months but felt Dennis was the best fit for us. It was the combination of his pedigree experience, both here and in New York, his passion to distil the complex, his love for our existing ‘move’ philosophy and his personable nature that landed Dennis the role.
“Dennis will become a member of our strong leadership team and will be tasked with future proofing our effective Move Model and of course inspiring our creative thinking. He will also help us maintain an enviable Effies track record across our valued suite of clients and brands” he continued.
