Big Changes At Cicero

Cicero, bids farewell to longstanding creative director David Bailey, and welcomes in a new era of change.

This summer Cicero’s Creative Director David Bailey is retiring following nine years of dedicated service. David’s commitment to Cicero and his invaluable experience of creative design and marketing communications has been an inspiration to those who have worked with him. David will be replaced as Cicero’s Creative Director by Warren Gaskell who joins from McCann Erickson in Manchester.

Warren brings in specialist skills in international brand building and direct marketing gained on a range of B2B and B2C accounts. This appointment signals the intent of the business to enter in to a period of rapid growth and integration into Gyro. The business is currently working towards a November launch as Gyro in Manchester, and this move is born from a desire to bring the best talent into the business.

To this end, Warren will be joined by Ewa James who joins as Group Account Director. Ewa also worked at McCann Erickson for ten years on the agency’s largest account team and brings with her important expertise in international B2B branding, database marketing and customer relationship management.

Managing Director Danny Turnbull comments: "David has been a fantastic and loyal employee of Cicero and his position was difficult to fill. The new appointments are representative of our commitment to recreating Cicero as an integral and vibrant part of Gyro International".

Warren adds: "Getting the opportunity to join Cicero at a pivotal time like this only comes around once in a career. Gyro is a dynamic, ambitious and burgeoning brand and plans for the future of the agency are very impressive. I look forward to being part of the well established team and playing a key role in developing the business."
