And, in a sign of the positive times at ResearchBods, it has appointed nearly a dozen new staff in the last six months alone.

Recent recruits include Robbie Stewart, who will oversee company process and GDPR compliance in his role as business analyst.

New appointments in the agency’s insight and strategy team include Hannah Downs as insight director, Jim Parkinson as associate director, Steven Bird as senior insight executive and Joe Woolley as insight executive.

The other arrivals are Kirk Stevens, Ben Jones, Michael Weatherby, Lil Stanton, Chloe Emerson and Angeliki Tzempetzi.

ResearchBods provides brands, agencies and organisations with “data and intelligence” that helps them identify exactly what their customers are doing and thinking.
