Spin

London (9th January 2024): Spin, the leading social media agency, has appointed two seasoned directors having lured them from current industry leader and competitor,
We Are Social. Lee Murray joins as the new Finance Director, and Alyssa Drysdale steps into the role of Client Services Director.

Lee Murray boasts an impressive tenure of over a decade at We Are Social, where he most recently held the position of Commercial Controller. On the other hand, Alyssa Drysdale brings to the table 8 years of expertise from We Are Social, with her most recent role being Business Director, and a previous stint at Fieldworks as Head of Social Media.

Both Murray and Drysdale cited Spin's remarkable growth, and the strength of its talent, culture, and client roster as their main reasons for making the switch. Their extensive experience is expected to be a significant asset to Spin, further solidifying its position in the industry.

Alex Bodini, CEO of Spin, expressed his excitement about the new appointments, stating, “Bringing Lee and Alyssa into our fold marks a significant milestone for Spin. Their exceptional track record, leadership skills and industry expertise are exactly what we need as we embark on our next phase of growth. This is a testament to the strength of our agency, and it’s a clear signal that the tide is shifting in the industry." 

Lee Murray shared his enthusiasm, saying, “I am thrilled to be joining Spin at such a pivotal time. The agency’s momentum is undeniable, and I am eager to contribute to its continued success.” 

Alyssa Drysdale also commented, “Spin has a unique and forward-thinking approach to social and marketing which I'm incredibly excited to build out further alongside the fantastic team. There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits all in social, and now more than ever, clients need truly reactive and social-first thinking, which is something that already sits at the heart of the agency. I look forward to working closely with our clients to apply this thinking and ensure they reach their full potential through social.”

These strategic hires represent a significant coup for Spin, as it successfully positions itself as a formidable player in the social media marketing arena. Both Murray and Drysdale will play a critical role in the leadership team, steering Spin through its ambitious growth trajectory.
