Paul Stephen, chief executive of Sagittarius, said: “As we expand our leading edge business transformation for clients all over the world, it becomes increasingly important for us to double down on the first class digital marketing and strategic consultancy we provide. Sagittarius has always been performance-focused to deliver maximum ROI for our clients but this hire indicates a step change in optimising digital that delivers and further bolsters our third sector expertise which is part of the agencies strategy going forward. Sagittarius prides itself on the diverse talents of its team and Ian brings yet more flavour to the table - deep client-side experience at every level matched with big brand knowledge make him an ideal fit for our leadership team.”
