CubanEight has been appointed by EchoMany, the video personalisation specialist, as it ramps up its UK presence.

The B2B agency has also hired Emma Connolly, whose consumer PR experience includes a recent account manager role at Perception PR, where she worked with clients including the intu shopping centre in Milton Keynes, Queensgate Shopping Centre and Calumet Photographic.

Sian Gaskell, managing director at CubanEight, said: “It has been a strong start to the year for CubanEight; we are delighted to add EchoMany to our client base and very excited to be working with them.

“Our expanding team puts us in good stead for 2017 and Emma’s experience, particularly her digital and social knowledge, means she’s already proved herself an integral part of the team.”

CubanEight is also looking to hire a senior account executive.

The EchoMany brief tasks CubanEight with building its profile across the marketing, media and entertainment sectors, supporting the company’s growth.

EchoMany delivers personalised video campaigns for brands including 20th Century Fox, L’Oreal and Cancer Research, using social data to provide one-to-one marketing and advertising creative that generates real-time engagement.

We feel they understand our ambitions and that working with them will help us achieve our goals. We are excited about embarking upon this relationship and look forward to some positive results.”
