Ian Irving, group head of strategy and planning at Push Worldwide, said: "This is a very exciting time for Public. The agency is growing fast and the diversity of the output dictates that we need a leader with diverse communications experience who can see the full picture and ensure that growth is managed, and that we’re delivering on our promises.
