MC2 has appointed Glenn Jones to head up its design studio and to lead it into its next stage of development and beyond.

Jones, who in the course of his career built and sold media mission, has more than 30 years’ experience in print, design and production, specialising in building corporate identity and branding.

Media Mission boasted a portfolio that included Manchester United, Britannia Building Society and the British Council, and Jones oversaw the rebranding of the Tidy Britain Group as EnCams and Everton Football Club.  He was a member of the invite-only Advertising Typographers Association and has won a prestigious New York Type Directors’ Club Award.

As head of studio at MC2, Jones will work closely alongside creative director, Jon Butterworth, to implement best practice in terms of systems, management and workflow.

Commenting on his appointment, Jones said: “MC2 has an excellent creative team with some phenomenal ideas, and I’m taking the helm at an exciting time.  I will be working hard to improve processes, so that the design studio can concentrate on delivering top quality creative work and clients will be happier than ever.”

Sarah Lindgreen, director at MC2, said: “It’s testament to the quality of the studio that we have been able to attract somebody of Glenn’s calibre.  His experience speaks for itself and the team looks set to really blossom under his direction.”
