A Northumberland-based branding agency has strengthened its creative, technical and management teams with four key new appointments.
Canny Creative, which will be celebrating its 10th business anniversary in November, has enjoyed fantastic success since its incorporation in 2015, creating brands and digital solutions for clients across the globe including the World YMCA, International Hospital Federation and multi-national recruitment firm, Macdonald & Company.
These most recent appointments come as the 10-strong agency gears itself up for further expansion into the B2B market, with a strategic focus on clients within the tech, healthcare and recruitment sectors.
Having introduced content development as a standalone service for its clients back in 2020, Canny’s first key appointment has bolstered its team of in-house content creators. Maisie Stedman has joined the Blyth-based organisation as Content Strategist. Using her expertise in SEO to generate high-performing digital content for both the web and social media, Maisie will play a leading role on a number of client projects as well as provide support to Canny’s design and development teams.
Aidan Smith has joined the team at Canny as Brand Designer. An award winning graphic and web designer with experience of working with leading brands such as Lego and Stanley Black and Decker, Aidan will bring valuable expertise to the table on a range of creative projects for Canny.
A graduate of Northumbria University with a First Class Honours degree in Computer Science, Hayden O’Neill has joined Canny’s in-house development team as a Junior Web Developer. Working alongside the wider team, Hayden will be leveraging his knowledge in WordPress, SASS, JS, and PHP to support dynamic website development projects on behalf of Canny’s international client base.
The fourth and final new face at Canny is Leanne Tweddle. An experienced marketing and project manager with a wide range of skills spanning PR, brand development, content creation and account management, in her capacity as Client Delivery Lead, Leanne will play an integral role in ensuring the smooth delivery of client projects as well as helping to further develop and grow the Canny brand.
Tony Hardy, Founder and Director at Canny Creative, commented: “It’s a really exciting time here at Canny and we’re delighted to welcome Maisie, Aidan, Hayden and Leanne to the team.
“As the business approaches its 10th anniversary, we’ve been taking some time to reflect on our successes and our learning points from across the years and we’re now looking to the future with renewed focus and a strong team to help us to continue to deliver the highest quality creative outputs for our clients worldwide.”
