Lancaster consultancy EXP expands with two new senior hires

Lancaster-based brand and digital consultancy EXP has announced two new appointments as the agency continues to grow.

Jess Firth joins the team as a marketing consultant while Conner Griffin is hired as a graphic designer.

Firth has a wealth of experience having previously been an account manager for a leading northwest digital agency and more recently an in-house marketing manager for a large garden centre. She will lead marketing strategy and content at EXP.

She said “I am delighted to be joining the EXP team, especially at a time of such growth. I have already seen first-hand the amazing work the team produce for our clients, and I look forward to bringing my experience to support that, and continue pushing boundaries in the work we do.”

With over eight years of agency experience, Conner Griffin will be using his skills in graphic design, motion design, and illustration to widen EXP’s offering to clients.

“With design principles closely aligned to my own, I look forward to bringing new skills and enthusiasm to EXP. Leaning on my experience in food, drink and packaging, I am keen to grow individually and complement a team with a glowing reputation and wealth of knowledge,” he said.

The pair join EXP as the agency celebrates its 10th anniversary, and will be working with the likes of Lancaster University, Lincrusta, Angstrom Technology, City of York Council, and Sovini Group.

“We’re really pleased to welcome Jess and Conner to the team and know their experience and skillset will be invaluable in helping clients achieve results,” said Tom Grattan, managing director. 

EXP is continuing to recruit as they seek another graphic designer to join the team.
