Basingstoke design and web agency, The Escape, have bolstered their management team with the appointment of Ian Mumford as Creative Director.

Craig Killick, Managing Director of The Escape explains:

Our creative offering has developed rapidly over the past twelve months and we are now a more strategic agency. This requires us to take steps to continually raise our game and Ian is the perfect fit for The Escape. I am looking forward to the impact he will have on the future of our business moving forward.

Formerly of KAG, Ian has been working in the local design industry for over 10 years and joins The Escape at a time of diverse growth and expansion. He commented:

My aim is to ensure all existing and future clients know they are being looked after by a concept-led team, driven by the understanding that each client has individual business and marketing needs. I am dedicated to taking the creative direction of The Escape to a new level and excited by the challenge.

The Escape celebrates its tenth year in business during 2008 and has been based in Daneshill since 2001. As part of their growth plans they are looking to establish themselves as a recognised creative force in Hampshire. This has included campaigns for Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council and more recently for Hampshire County Council although their clients are not just based locally with the company having recently implemented a web strategy for a Canadian A/V Distributor.
