LONDON — Search-first creative agency Rise at Seven has hired El Chetcuti, former head of brand for online fashion retailer Missguided, as its head of campaigns, and opened its third UK office in Manchester.
Chetcuti, who was at Missguided for six years, will be heading up Rise at Seven’s new cross channel content marketing team as well as content strategy, creating client work across search, content, creative, social and experiential.
The fast-growing agency, which was founded in 2019, now has 100 employees across its Sheffield, London, Manchester and Chicago offices, after expanding to the US earlier this year.
Rise at Seven expects to double headcount again by the end of this year after signing 24 new clients in the past three months, including Monzo, Tough Mudder, Confused.com and Klarna.
Chetcuti said: “I’m especially excited to be part of an agency which is driven by tangible customer insight and relevancy who executes campaigns with such creative flair! Having worked with the agency in my previous role, I saw for myself their level of creativity, energy and passion and just wanted to be part of their growth.”
On the new Manchester office, CEO Carrie Rose said: " We have just had our second birthday and with the recent addition of some huge clients based in Manchester's media city, this expansion was the obvious move. This is going to mean we can work even closer with them to help build brand, tie search, social and PR altogether.”
