LONDON - Gyro International, the integrated brand communications agency, has appointed 3 marketer Richard Mabbot as its head of planning.

Mabbott joins Gyro as it pursues an aggressive growth strategy that has seen it recently open an office in Hamburg and look to develop its business in France and Spain.

The firm has also seen its Sun Microsystems account grow and has won Moss Bros as a new client.

Mabbott was previously head of marketing planning at 3. Prior to that, he held marketing roles at Visteon Corporation and at the Ford Motor Company.

Richard Perry, Gyro managing director, said: "We are thrilled that we have managed to hire Richard in the face of stiff competition.

"He will be heading up an expanded planning function, which we are putting in place to support our position as the number one UK B2B agency and our growing portfolio of consumer clients."
