Lane Earl Cox selects new creative directors

Lane Earl Cox has appointed Harry Armfield and Kim Hughes as joint creative directors for the agency.

Both Mr Armfield and Ms Hughes have been working with the company for a number of years and have been credited with winning a string of key contracts.

Mike Lane, the firm's managing director, said: "Much of Lane Earl Cox's recent success can be attributed to the creative excellence encouraged by Harry and Kim."

Over the last two-and-a-half years, the two new creative directors have collaborated on a number of projects, including a campaign for the Schering-Plough drug Caelyx that won a 2009 PM Society Advertising Award.

Mr Lane praised Mr Armfield for his "writing ability and all-round creativity", which he said will be complemented by Ms Hughes' "wonderful art direction and motivating presentations".

This month, the company has also appointed Jack Dolan as head of veterinary health after the division experienced significant growth over the last six months.
