London-based live event and creative agency Chorus has appointed
Dave Powell as its new managing director.
Powell joins from VICE Media where he held the
role of international head of live experience, and his background and expertise
is rooted in culture, strategy and media.
Powell’s arrival forms part of a wider management restructure that also sees Cassidy Knowles promoted to group MD and Andrew Perrott repositioned as founder of Chorus Creative Group.
Powell said: “I'm thrilled to be joining the Chorus team during such an exciting time for the business. It’s an agency that oozes fresh creativity in parallel with outstanding technical capability. The work they’ve been doing over the last few years has been outstanding and I’m excited to be here with this incredible talent who have already shown they have the capability to bring to life the most ambitious briefs out there.”
The
change follows the agency’s most successful year to date, that saw it partner
with many high profile brands including The Macallan, Vacheron Constantin, Booking.com,
Brown Forman, OOFOS, Montblanc, and EY, while also winning numerous industry
awards and receiving The Sunday Times Best Place To Work accolade.
In
2023 the Chorus team broadened its services, providing creative strategy
and delivery on multi-channel global briefs. At the same time, the business
also launched Chorus Arts which specialises in public art interventions, creative
installations, pioneering exhibitions, art-led events and fostering UK-based
creative talent through a dedicated Featured Artist programme.
Perrott added: “We are delighted that Dave is joining us to lead the Chorus team and
all that he will bring to the role. This is a new and exciting chapter for the
business. Cassidy’s move to Group MD to oversee Chorus, Chorus Arts and our
joint venture, Scotch Creatives will ensure our future success as we continue
to expand. We’re in good hands with such
an experienced leadership team in place.”
