DD8 Appoints Leigh Newman As Design & Innovation Director

DD8 has appointed Leigh Newman, a multi-award winning broadcast design director and creative strategist with extensive knowledge and consideration for technology and innovation, as the company’s design and innovation director.

Newman is a much sought-after broadcast designer, who was named Creative Magazine’s Young Achiever in 2010.

“He’s focused on the needs of clients, innovative, astute and great to have around.  We are extremely lucky and privileged to welcome him to DD8 as we continue to grow in size and services.”
