THG Studios, the creative agency which is part of THG Ingenuity, has appointed Richard Aldiss as senior vice president to spearhead growth.
The agency offers solutions for branding, strategy, creative and social-first campaigns, alongside packaging design, production, videography, photography and set build.
Operating from one of the biggest creative studios in Europe, with over 135,000 sq.ft of space, its projects are backed by THG Ingenuity’s proprietary tech, data and user research.
THG Ingenuity recently demerged from listed eCommerce firm THG plc and confirmed plans to make 90 redundancies as it centralises its team in Manchester.
In 2024 THG Studios crafted campaigns for the likes of Toblerone, ASDA, Disney and Sky Bet’s The Overlap, and also launched AI-driven studio iLab.
Aldiss has over 30 years of experience in advertising, with roles including managing director at McCann Manchester and chair of the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising in England and Wales.
He currently sits on the board of the Manchester Publicity Association, which champions the digital, creative and media industries.
“The THG Studios team have achieved so much, it’s jaw-dropping,” he said. “The ambition and potential for our clients, our people and the business is huge.
“I look forward to applying my experience, energy and passion as we enter an exciting new chapter of growth and transformation.”
Hannah Pym, chief brand & marketing officer at THG Ingenuity, added: “We are delighted to welcome Richard to the team.
“His experience and leadership across advertising and business development, alongside his fervour for the industry, align perfectly with our commitment to supercharge brand growth for our clients and our long-term vision for THG Studios.”
