SocialChain appoints new creative director

Manchester-based creative agency SocialChain, which also has offices in London, New York and Berlin, has named Ryan Harding as its new creative director to bolster its social-first campaigns.

Ryan brings extensive experience from THG Studios, where he led creative for major brand campaigns including ASDA’s biggest-ever Christmas activation. 

He has also worked with Nike, adidas and SK-II, earning awards from D&AD and Pentawards.

Reporting to executive creative director Mike Scott, Ryan will help shape SocialChain’s next phase of creative growth.

Ryan said: “Joining SocialChain represented an exciting opportunity to step into a leading creative role at one of the most recognisable names in the industry.” 

“The move allows me to bring together the experience I’ve built across previous roles and apply it directly to fast-paced agency life. 

“Pitching, building brands, and delivering culture-driven creative for some of the world’s biggest brands.

“The opportunity now is to build on that foundation, levelling up the creative output even further and pushing into new, standout territory that sets the benchmark for social creativity.” 

Mike added: “We’re so excited to have Ryan join us at SocialChain. 

“With him, he brings a wealth of experience and a creative approach that can really help push us forward. 

“I’m looking forward to seeing how our clients benefit from Ryan and his creative leadership.”
