Life appoints new studio manager amid restructuring efforts

Life has announced the latest series of changes to its workforce as it continues to reposition itself as an integrated creative communications agency.

The company has appointed Sophie Gibbons – who previously handled production and job trafficking at the firm – to the newly-created position of studio manager, continuing the recent round of management reshuffling at the agency.

Meanwhile, within its client services roster, Kelly Edwards has been promoted to the position of senior account director, while Carolyn Kelday is taking on the role of senior account manager.

This comes after Reg Manser stepped down as the agency's creative director in order to assume the role of chief creative officer last month, with Matt Leeming offering support in the new post of strategy director.

Mr Manser will work alongside chief executive officer Juliet La Marque to lead Life's creative strategy and business development.

Meanwhile, Steve Martin was hired to fill the creative director post, with Elinor Washbrook promoted to head of copy in order to manage Life's team of medical copywriters.
