The digital growth agency has continued to bolster their ranks with hires. The first to join, Design Executive, Andrei Alexe, specialises in web design, social media marketing and customer support. Since earning his Bachelor's Degree in E-Concept Development from Denmark’s Lillebaelt Academy, Alexe worked as a freelance designer before joining Luminate. In support of Luminate’s HubSpot Partner status, he is fully certified in inbound marketing and design.

“When I interviewed for the role, I really got a sense of Luminate’s vision for the future. I was excited, to say the least, and happy to come on board”, says Alexe.

Content and Marketing Executive, Sammy Siddique followed shortly after.

Joining Luminate from Bolton-based digital marketing agency Bring Digital, Callum Dawson is the latest addition to the Marketing team as another content and marketing executive. Having written content for the likes of Ann Summers, Rahman Ravelli solicitors and Wynsors World of Shoes, Dawson’s experience rounds off the number of high-quality hires for Luminate. Dawson has also interned with NME and has editorial skills to reinforce his content offering.

“Coming from an agency background set me in good stead for coming on board at Luminate. The office is bustling with activity, we have client meetings and pitches going on - I can’t wait to hit the ground running,” says Dawson.

According to Dan Strayer, Digital Marketing Manager at Luminate Digital, the recent hires are an indication of the agency’s purpose and vision for the future.

“We want our clients to be confident and assured in the knowledge that we have the best people on the job,” says Strayer. “The hiring process was intensive, but worth it.
