A Harrogate marketing agency has appointed a new head of social media.

The Big Bamboo Agency, which is based at Windsor House, has hired James Pilkington to the position.

Mr Pilkington, who brings with him 10 years’ experience of working in specialist social media roles, will oversee the strategic direction of social media platforms and content for the firm’s clients.

Nicola Stamford, the company’s owner and founding director, said:

“I am delighted that we have attracted James to join the business, especially as he contacted us to see if any opportunities were available.
“His primary focus will be on ensuring we continue to look after, add value to and nurture our client base when it comes to their social media presence and how they are perceived online.”
