Leeds digital agency Creode has teamed up with former Sense Internet boss Aidan Cook.

The reigning DADI Awards Individual of the Year will work with Creode as strategic specialist whilst a further two new faces join the team.

The agency has also enlisted Tom Wade as junior developer and Tom Wild as digital designer. Richard Thorne has been promoted to lead developer.

Account director Luke Harrison said: "Our new appointments highlight the exciting times at Creode, and we are delighted to have someone with the experience of Aidan working with us. We are currently involved in some very exciting projects and continue to look for further expansion in the future."

Cook is a popular member of Yorkshire's digital scene having run Sense for 15 years. He was rewarded at the DADIs and widely commended by peers for the responsible way in which he closed Sense in August 2010.
