Orchard has expanded its senior leadership team with the promotion of Dan Gallienne to the new role of head of client services.
Dan (pictured) will be marking a decade with the Channel Island-based communications agency this year and has progressed through the Orchard ranks from account executive. He was most recently head of PR.
The new role has been created as Orchard enhances its senior leadership team to support the agency’s growth plans. Dan will join Brooke Kenyon and Chris Chilton – managing directors of strategy and agency growth, and finance and operations respectively – on the team.
Dan will be responsible for the agency’s work across its client base, leading the client retention strategy, developing the 15-strong team and working with client teams to deliver impactful communications strategies, content and campaigns.
Brooke celebrated Dan’s promotion: “Orchard has grown enormously in the last 10 years and Dan has been a big part of that journey. He is an incredible asset to Orchard and promoting him to head of client services was a no brainer because his knowledge of our business and clients’ needs is second to none. I look forward to seeing how his career will continue to develop as our ambitious agency continues to grow.”
Dan is one of Orchard’s three CIPR Chartered PR professionals, and also sits on the local CIPR committee.
