Atkins, an alumna of Media Week’s ‘30 under 30’ annual initiative, will now head up the communications team at the Manchester-based firm.
In doing so she will also be overseeing another new recruit to the firm – Kate Doyle, who joins from CIDS.
Doyle wrote and edited CREATIVE times for the creative support organisation, juggling those duties with the role of communications officer.
Warren Bramley, the co-founder and creative director of the agency, said of his new staffers:
“The time was right to bring in two marketing communications specialists who will enhance the mix of backgrounds and skills in our studio.
“Rowan is someone we’ve known and respected for a long time and we’re delighted that she’s agreed to come on board and taken a senior role at four23.
“Kate will bring outstanding writing and researching skills to four23, adding to the ideas and inspiration of the studio.”
