October 23, 2008 | Levent OZLER
Digital engagement agency Kerb has strengthened its creative team with the senior-level appointment of Owen Priestley, formerly Head of Design at digital marketing agency Lateral.
Taking on the role of Art Director, Owen will be working with Kerb's company founder Jim McNiven on its portfolio of clients including MTV, E4, Sony PlayStation 3 and Nokia.
Owen is a well-known face in the digital marketing industry having worked on a host of leading brands at Lateral spanning the charity, commercial and entertainment sectors.
He has been instrumental in producing award-winning campaign creatives for Levi Strauss, the RSPCA, Which? and Cadillac, and his work for Levi Strauss was recently published in the book "Contemporary Graphic Design" by Charlotte and Peter Fiell (Tachen).
This is the second high-profile appointment that Kerb has made this year, having recruited digital media guru David Brook as a non-executive Director in January.
Jim McNiven, director of Kerb, comments: "Owen is joining us from Lateral, who I have a lot of respect for.
His extensive experience of producing world-class creative for leading brands is perfect for us, and we are very excited about working with him."
Owen Priestley adds: "I have known Kerb for years, and have the utmost respect for its trademark design style and high-profile client base.
Kerb is at the forefront of producing highly engaging digital content, and I'm excited about directing the creative vision for games that will have true 'viral' appeal."
