Pan-European and Vietnamese agency SPRING Production is expanding its operations in Manchester with the appointment of Austen Donnellan as Business Development Director.
Donnellan is a seasoned marketing professional with over 25 years of agency experience and has served as Director of Customer Service for a diverse portfolio of global consumer and B2B accounts at leading integrated and creative agencies.
During his career he has successfully grown clients in both the UK and International markets, working with industry giants such as Muller Dairy, HTC, PepsiCo, Jägermeister and INEOS Hygienics.
Donnellan will work closely with SPRING Production’s UK team to drive growth and expand the company’s customer base. Through his decades of experience and the collective expertise of SPRING Production’s operations across Europe and Vietnam, he will strive to deliver solutions to “turn customers’ marketing production challenges into sustainable competitive advantages.”
The new role brings Donnellan back to his native North West after more than a decade with Bray Leino from South West and London. He said: “My goal is to help brands maximize their potential. It’s a great opportunity and I can’t wait to take SPRING Production to the next level. I also look forward to working in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter. I’m originally from the Northwest so it feels like I’m coming home.”
Lars Bo Hansen, CEO of SPRING Production, added: “[Austen’] experience and proven success in the industry make him a valuable asset. With Austen on board, we are poised to seize exciting new opportunities and drive growth in the UK market.”
Cosmopolitan SPRING has offices in Denmark, Germany and Poland, as well as an office in Manchester and another outpost in Ho Chi Minh City.
