1st July 2016

ian leaker brings a decade of digital experience to the RocketMill team.

RocketMill, the award-winning digital marketing agency, has today announced another high profile hiring. Following hot on the heels of senior Content and Paid Media hires, and a coveted Elite ranking in The Drum’s agency census, Sian Leaker has joined the team to head up the Strategic Services department.

Sian joins RocketMill having previously overseen digital teams at the BBC and iCrossing.

Sian’s RocketMill welcome

Strategic Services, a functionally unique department in the agency landscape, is jointly responsible for planning client campaigns and overseeing RocketMill’s internal workflows and processes. This allows client needs to be reflected in agency functionality almost instantaneously. With years of experience in both digital delivery and operational excellence, Sian was the clear choice for the role.

Sam Garrity, RocketMill’s Managing Director, said of the new hire:

“Getting Sian on board is a real coup for us. Sian’s unique blend of change management expertise from her time at the BBC and digital marketing delivery experience accrued at iCrossing will result in a positive impact across the entire agency.

“There’s so much demand for talent in the Brighton agency market that we were really pleased Sian chose to join us. Our unique mix of consultancy and traditional agency work, together with our desire to stay small, is helping us attract some amazing talent.”

Sian, who joined the team on Monday, commented on her new post:

“I’ve worked in some of the largest digital organisations in the UK so being in a smaller setting is really liberating. RocketMill has an incredible mix of talent and clients and I’m looking forward to working with the team to develop our in house operations further and enhance the strategic offering.”
