The Marketing Store has hired Mike Cavers, the executive creative director of Chemistry, as its executive director of Europe. Cavers will team up with his former Publicis Dialog colleague, Simon Marshall, the managing director of The Marketing Store with whom he worked for six years.
TMS European creative director Shelford Chandler will remain as creative director for the London agency.
Marshall said: "The Marketing Store has made significant progress in the past two years, attracting new talent and clients including Sony and Britvic. We needed a big talent with the ability to work passionately across digital and traditional channels and Mike fits this description perfectly."
Cavers' appointment follows that of the Design Council's marketing director Wendy Lanchin as planning and strategy director in April.
