Crumpton, a 1998 Campaign Face to Watch, has been a planner at BMP for
four years, working on accounts including the Ministry of Sound, PG Tips
and the Meat & Livestock Commission.
She began her career at Carlton, from where she moved to BMP’s media
department, before crossing over into account planning.
’Fallons caught me at the right time,’ Crumpton said. ’I’ve got to the
point where I have my own ideas and I was thinking about what I want to
do in advertising. It was a compliment to get the call and it’s good to
get into a new agency at the beginning.’
Crumpton worked with Richard Flintham and Andy McLeod, Fallons’ creative
partners, on the Ministry of Sound campaign which won an Account
Planning Group award last year.
’I love the way they work,’ she said. ’They are brilliantly
strategic.’
Jill Linton, who joined M&C Saatchi when it opened in 1995, has been
working on accounts including BSkyB and PPP Healthcare, and has been
acting in a consultancy role for the Ministry of Sound, whose account is
now handled by the Golden Square-based agency.
Michael Wall, a partner at Fallons, said: ’Jill is inventive and
open-minded - the account handler of the future. We’re very flattered by
her sheer will to work here.’
The two new recruits will work alongside the five partners - Wall,
Flintham, McLeod, Laurence Green and Robert Senior.
