Grand Visual Expands

Putland joins with more than 11 years of experience of handling complex digital media projects and has worked in Holland and Japan, as well as the UK, for brands such Canon, Nokia and Procter & Gamble. Putland will be responsible for continuing to improve Grand Visual’s production processes and resource management whilst driving R&D into interactive and digital experiential innovation.

Taylor joins with a decade of experience in Out of Home media. Most recently, he served as Account Director at Kinetic where he worked on the Nike account where alongside Wieden+Kennedy, he delivered the award winning ‘Write the Future’ campaign - the first ever nationwide live copy campaign to use OpenLoop to deliver post match commentary during the 2011 World Cup. Taylor will be further developing client relationships whilst providing strategic programme direction and delivery.

Neil Morris, Grand Visual Founder and Director, said: “We’re growing rapidly and the time is right to expand our senior management team to steer our future development as a company. We have always been pioneers in creating new ways of engaging Out of Home audiences – where digital experiences meet the real, physical world, and Ben and Jeremy’s talents will be instrumental in bolstering our service offering and driving our future success.”

Founded in 2005, Grand Visual provides creative, technology and production expertise to help brands and agencies unlock the potential of the Digital Out of Home medium. The company’s OpenLoop platform enables agency teams to centrally manage and publish live, dynamic, and reactive Digital Out of Home campaigns across multiple networks and formats. The senior appointments are part of an ongoing expansion of the company and follow three new hires last month. They were Nadiya Abubakar as Producer, Faye Lowrey as Traffic Manager, and Dave Casson as Motion Graphics Designer.
