Creative communications agency, Top Banana, has announced the recruitment of new creative director, Richard Twamley. Twamley joins the agency from DRPG and brings with him 20 years of knowledge, experience and creativity.

Joining as a member of the leadership team, Twamley will be responsible for driving the creative direction of the business forward in line with its current five-year strategy. Working closely with the creative team, his day to day role will be to maintain and evolve the output of the studio, as well as supporting the wider Top Banana team.

It’s great to take some of the things I’ve learnt during my career into this role, but I’m also looking forward to new learning as well. I can’t wait to get started with some of the exciting client projects the team work on here.”

When looking for new recruits, we don’t just look for people who know what we know and do what we do, we really look for people who can add something new and exciting to the business.
