Banc Attracts Big Agency Talent

Manchester-based Digital Marketing agency, Banc, attracts big agency talent for their latest hire in the Paid Media Team.

Taking on the role as Paid Media Manager, James Smith joined the Banc team in February. James started his Paid Media career at The Hut Group, then moved on to one of the biggest digital agencies, iProspect, where he received extensive training. James has worked in paid media for over four years, with two years in market research prior to that, following a degree in marketing from Keele University.

Paid Media Director, Hollie Grave, said: “James joining the team has been a perfect fit. He has great energy and passion which is injected into his work, with excellent knowledge and hands-on experience in Paid Media, this means our clients get more of the big agency expertise whilst enjoying the focus we can give them on our scale.”

James encountered the added pressure when he joined of having to work solely from home, but has put all his training and knowledge into his accounts, seeing significant increases in performance across multiple clients.

James said: “Working for Banc has been a roller coaster, a good one, giving you the freedom to put your knowledge to the test, as well as the opportunity to constantly learn new skills and develop as a digital marketer. The whole team has an incredible energy, and you can really see the effort and love that goes into the work. It feels like I’ve been a part of the Banc family for a lot longer than I have.”
