One of the West Midlands' most-established advertising agencies M3 Communications has appointed Aussie David Veale as PHP Developer to the company's digital team, after numerous account wins in recent months.

David, 30, has a degree in Applications Development from Monash University in Gippsland, Australia and was previously a network engineer until he became a freelance web developer three years ago. He moved to Birmingham with his wife last November as the couple had always planned to see Europe. 

David comments:  "I am extremely excited about working with such a buzzing, creative agency. The position at M3 is a great opportunity for me to work alongside highly skilled professionals within my field and to expand my web development skills. 

"I hope to bring a new dimension to the digital team and offer a detailed understanding of computers and networks, combined with a determination and drive to succeed."

M3's digital department in particular has grown significantly since its inception over 18 months ago. David's appointment brings the digital team to six, after two new appointments in January this year.

Glen Pawson, M3 Digital Director comments: "Clients are realising the importance of having an online presence in as many ways as possible. We are dedicated to tailoring packages to suit each client's business needs so that online marketing really works hard for them."
