Seen Presents hires Emily Lyddon-Towl and Lucy Ducker as ACDs
Experiential agency Seen Presents has hired Emily Lyddon-Towl, former head of design at Experience Events, and Lucy Ducker, former design director at Design Scene, as associate creative directors.
The appointments are two of nine new roles added to the shop this year; the duo will report to Chris Blaydes, design director at Seen Presents.
Lyddon-Towl and Ducker previously worked with Louisa O’Connor, managing director at Seen Presents, at Design Scene. Their arrival at the agency marks a professional reunion after five years.
At Design Scene Lyddon-Towl was a graphic designer and Ducker was design director, but their expertise spanned tech, 2D and 3D design.
O’Connor said: “It’s a personal full-circle moment for me to work with Lucy and Emily again. They were a fearsome partnership, and I have some of my best creative memories with them. Seeing them thrive together again as directors of the business makes me immensely happy and proud.”
The pair will work on global projects with new clients such as Adidas, DirecTV, Reddit and MediaLink.
They have previously collaborated on campaigns for global brands, including work showcased at events such as Cannes Lions, CES, and SXSW.
O’Connor added: “The team initially set out to hire one associate creative director, but after interviewing both candidates separately, they recognised their unique perspectives would elevate our creative offering in a way that one hire alone couldn’t achieve.
“Emily and Lucy have added a boost of talent to our already eclectic team. With backgrounds in graphics and design, it’s been amazing to see them gel brilliantly with the team and work on some of our most memorable projects.”
