BIG boosts North-West momentum with senior appointments and new business wins

BIG Partnership is bolstering its North-West operations with two senior appointments to its Manchester office as the agency continues to grow its client base and broaden its integrated marketing services across the region.

Jess Ingham joins as digital content director, bringing over 12 years of expertise in content and digital marketing. Formerly at McCann Manchester, she has a strong track record in developing high-impact digital-first strategies with clients like TransPennine Express, Royal London, Topshop, Persimmon Homes, Compare the Market and Dr. Oetker.

Speaking on her appointment Jess commented: “Businesses are feeling the pressure in today’s crowded digital space. It’s not enough to simply create content anymore. Brands need a cohesive content framework that cuts through the noise and delivers real impact.

“I’m excited to collaborate with the talented teams across BIG to enhance our marcomms offering and help clients navigate the fast-changing digital landscape with confidence.”

Tony Whittingham joins as senior account director. A strategic marketing specialist with over 20 years’ experience, Tony has led multi-channel campaigns at Mediaworks, driving growth across B2C, B2B and D2C sectors. He’s worked with brands including Beko, EnerSys, TalkTalk and PXC in industries such as e-commerce, FMCG, energy and finance.

Tony said: “I look forward to bringing my experience of strategic marketing to the team and continuing the great work being done to deliver insightful, customer-focused campaigns across online and offline channels, from concept to execution.”

Alongside these senior appointments, BIG has grown its client portfolio with new client wins, including men’s grooming brand Rock Face. The team will deliver integrated campaigns spanning press, experiential stunts, influencer activity and creative content.

Last month, BIG’s North-West team was awarded another PR Moment Award. The team took home ‘Best Technology Campaign’ for its work with leading investigative technology firm Altia, supporting it in raising its brand awareness and standing out against competitors. Taking home the industry award for the third consecutive year further cements the agency’s reputation as an industry leader.

Rob McCann, Board Director at BIG Partnership said: “The North-West is a key focus for us, and investing in the right talent is crucial as we continue our ambitious growth plans.

“Jess and Tony bring a wealth of experience in strategy, content and digital marketing, which will strengthen our offering and ensure we continue to deliver bold, results-driven campaigns.

“Their expertise plays a vital role in shaping and driving BIG’s continued success and expansion.”

With offices in Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen, BIG Partnership has built an extensive client portfolio including Morris Homes, Cumberland Building Society, Peel Ports, DNV, SPFL, Pall Mall, George at ASDA, Aldi Scotland, Loch Lomond Whisky and Loganair.

Its success is driven by a commitment to investing in people and delivering impactful integrated marketing solutions spanning across creative, PR, social, search, paid media, public affairs, brand strategy and design. Focused on bold ideas and real results, BIG continues to push boundaries with campaigns that make a lasting impact.
