Media agency MEC has announced the appointment of executive creative director Maurice Van De Ven, who leaves his creative director position with StrawberryFrog in Amsterdam to take up the job.
The post has been newly-created at MEC and Van De Ven will work with the agency's owned and earned media team, MEC Access.
CEO of MEC, Steve Hatch, said: "Ideas are as valued by our clients as much as our digital, data and core media skills. With work like GuardianWitness, Stoptober and Morrisons' partnership with Ant & Dec helping out clients to grow, Maurice's appointment will ensure we stay right at the edge of what's possible."
At StrawberryFrog Van De Ven worked on campaigns for P&G across EMEA, North America and Latin America, and worked with Orange, Greenpeace and Yellow Pages during his time at Mother prior to that.
