Highland Marketing add Alex’s experience in visual communications to their increasing pool of talent and skills, furthering their ability to deliver high quality marketing projects which include a major element of graphic design, in addition to other services including PR, social media and business development.

“I am looking forward to supporting Highland Marketing’s clients with their marketing challenges, with the aim of increasing their profile and customer base within the healthcare market.”

Mark Venables, CEO of Highland Marketing added: “We were very impressed with Alex’s creative capabilities having seen some of his previous work. Alex brings invaluable experience, along with a varied creative skills base, which undoubtedly makes us stronger as a team.

“We pride ourselves on being able to offer a comprehensive marketing and communications service to all our clients, and having Alex onboard is an extremely significant step in enabling us to extend that offer. This is not, by far, the end of our recruitment drive, as we are still actively looking to increase our team and continue to grow in the New Year and beyond.”
