Assembled Media has promoted two senior team members as it continues to build on impact, innovation, and client success.
Samantha Murphy steps up from her previous role as Client Manager to Client Director at the data-led media planning and buying agency. Over the past three years at Assembled Media, Murphy has played a pivotal role in delivering award-winning work and cultivating trusted client relationships.
“I’m incredibly excited to be moving into the role of Client Director at Assembled Media,” said Murphy. “The journey from Client Manager to this next chapter has been shaped by the brilliant people around me and the clients who inspire better thinking every day.”
She added, “I’m excited to deepen relationships, drive even greater impact, and help our clients grow with bold, smart strategies. The best work is still ahead.”
Joining Murphy in this wave of growth is Alex (AJ) James, who has been promoted to Head of Digital Activations. In their new role, James will lead the agency’s integrated digital activation services, overseeing the most effective strategies across current and emerging digital platforms.
“It’s an incredible opportunity to step up and lead across the wider digital ecosystem, and I can’t wait to champion our amazing team in this space. My focus remains firmly set on keeping our clients on the leading edge of digital and social strategies,” James said.
Gareth Nicholls, Assembled Media’s Managing Director, celebrated both promotions as a testament to the agency’s impact-led culture and the calibre of its people.
“I’m incredibly proud to recognise these two well-deserved promotions. At Assembled, we don’t promote based on tenure – we promote based on impact,” said Nicholls.
“Both Sam and AJ have consistently delivered exceptional outcomes for our clients, shaped smarter solutions, and embodied the values that make Assembled different. Their progression is a direct reflection of the trust our clients place in us and the results we’ve achieved together.”
