True North has announced the appointment of four new expert advisors to expand its offer as a full-service communications, public affairs, business advocacy and marketing firm.
Ryan Crighton, the hugely respected Director of Policy & Marketing at Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce, will join the firm as a Senior Partner, launching True North’s new marketing division and taking an ownership stake in the business.
Prior to joining the Chamber, Ryan was Director of Marketing at UK law firm Aberdein Considine and led its PR, marketing and communication strategy throughout a period of rapid growth between 2014 and 2021.
He is also an award-winning writer, commentator and columnist across the Scottish and UK media, having previously served as Chief Reporter and latterly Business Editor at the Press & Journal.
He will be joined by two colleagues – True North’s new Senior Marketing and Events Advisor Cody Mowbray, and Senior Creative Advisor Andrew Taylor. Together they will deliver creative, digital, marketing and events services for the firm’s expanding client base.
All three will move in July and – under a new strategic partnership with the Chamber – will continue to provide expert advice and day-to-day support on a range of services in addition to the policy advice already delivered by True North.
