Beer will work alongside the AllTogetherNow management team of Conor McNicholas, chief executive; Steve Parker, managing director; Flora Proudlock, head of strategy; and Tom Sneddon, business director.

Beer joined Don’t Panic last year, having previously worked for the agency on a freelance basis since 2013. He worked on the Save the Children "Most shocking second a day" campaign, which picked up a gold Cyber Lion at Cannes in 2014.
