Marketing agency Verve has appointed Mike Kettles as its new group creative director. He replaces John O’Shaughnessy who now assumes a non-executive creative director role after 18 years. Kettles will lead Verve’s creative studio across Dublin, London and Amsterdam. He will oversee creative work in Singapore, when a new office open there later this year.
Kettles’ appointment comes at a pivotal moment for Verve as it continues its international growth as part of The Opus Group, a global network of experiential and branding agencies. A founding member of brand agency Greenspace, his previous roles include senior creative and strategic positions at Momentum Worldwide (McCann) and Spiro (GES).
