The Drum has learned that Elmwood’s Edinburgh office has appointed Maryanne Murray as client director following the departure of the agency’s managing director last week.

Murray joined the office following the departure of Jo Coomber who has left to head up the marketing department of Standard Life.

Murray has more than 14 years experience working in brand and client development roles in London and Scotland at companies such as The Partners, Bamber Forsyth and 999.

She has been working in San Francisco and Silicon Valley in consultancy roles since 2006 before choosing to return to Scotland to join Elmwood.
