Leeds-based integrated marketing agency, Fantastic Media, has announced the appointment of three new staff members, across the client services, digital and graphic design departments.

The agency has welcomed Gaby Kirwin as marketing account executive, Jack Norman as digital marketing manager and Alfie Johnston as creative designer.

The expansion of the team is a response to a more digitally centred strategy across the client portfolio, as well as the agency’s obsession for continual improvement. The board decided to recruit in these key areas in December 2020. The agency plans to have a renewed offering across all digital marketing channels by the end of Q1 2021.

Kirwin joins Fantastic from a client-side role within events management. She had previously worked at Bewonder and GIG Retail, with notable clients such as Asda and Victoria Gate Casino. “Fantastic has a reputation as an exciting and results driven agency and one I really wanted to be a part of. It was essential that my next role allowed me to play a key role in the success achieved for clients and to broaden my skills across digital marketing,” she says.

Norman has a strong paid social and digital marketing background, also working client side at the Skills Network, a training provider in the education sector.

Originally from Northumberland, Johnston holds a Master’s degree in branded experience from Northumbria University. After graduating, he spent time working overseas before joining Banana Kick, where he was involved in various brand activations.
