David Geary has been promoted to head of media within media buying agency Space and Time and tasked with heading up its new Midlands operation.

The new office will be the fourth and will be based in the Custard Factory, running alongside the company’s other offices in Surrey, Manchester and Edinburgh.

Geary, who was previously an account director within the company, commented: "I am thrilled to be launching the new office in Birmingham and delighted to bring the very strong offering we have to the region. Not only will our existing clients benefit from additional resource in the Midlands, but we can also offer other businesses in the region a first-rate alternative for their media planning and buying needs."
