“Having begun my career in the sports and sponsorship industry with M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment in London, to now form a part of the leadership structure at Levergy, a group company, is greatly rewarding. I’ve seen immense growth during my four years at Levergy and commend the company’s leadership on the fantastic manner in which they’ve championed this. I’m truly excited to lead a refreshed communications offering within the business. Levergy specialises in creating meaningful change for brands through consumers’ passion points. After a period of accelerated change in our industry and world, the ability to solve unique problems for brands and translate these into long-term creative solutions complete with messaging designed to resonate with the correct audiences across different channels and touchpoints is key. I’ll be working with a very talented team, including Zylvah, across some iconic brands in order to do this and, as a result, I could not be more excited to tackle this new role,” added Garden.
