Wildcat Digital

Pivotal new hire is announced at Wildcat Digital as the agency enters its next phase of growth, “helping businesses punch above their weight online”. 

Rich Ayre has been appointed as Head of Growth at Sheffield-based digital agency, Wildcat Digital.

Rich has an impressive career spanning over eight years, at some of the North’s biggest agencies including Journey Further, Jaywing and twentysix. In his new role, Rich will be working closely with founder Will Hitchmough and as an extension of the wider team, to develop sales strategies for sustainable long-term growth. 

Will Hitchmough, founder of Wildcat Digital said,

“The Head of Growth is a new role here at Wildcat Digital, playing an important part in the next phase of our growth, increasing revenue and profitability to the business. 

“Rich has a great breadth of experience having spent his early career working with SMEs and smaller businesses. He understands the unique challenges that come when competing with bigger brands and the need to maximise results on tighter budgets. This understanding, combined with his experience working with enterprise-level brands and household names, means he’s perfectly placed to guide clients as they navigate digital marketing options. He clearly understands what it takes to go from an SME to a challenger brand, which is where our expertise lies also.”

In his new role, Rich will take ownership of the overall growth strategy, from lead generation and relationship management with the agency’s network, through to pitching and closing new business. He'll be working closely with the delivery teams as well as Will, to identify growth opportunities and support new clients that choose to work with Wildcat.

Rich Ayre, Head of Growth at Wildcat Digital adds,

“Having worked with a variety of businesses, on reflection, I found that I really enjoy collaborating with growing and challenger organisations. Wildcat's mission of 'helping brands punch above their weight online' resonated with me and represented an opportunity to do the work I enjoy most.  There’s something really satisfying about working with brands as they compete with larger brands in their marketplaces. 

“On a personal note, I'm excited about working with everyone at Wildcat, there’s some great talent and I can't wait to get started!”
