Uniq Prepared Foods, the chilled foods company, has handed the role of managing director of desserts to Hamish Renton. He was previously commercial director at Uniq, and before that was head of own-brand, health and diet at Tesco.
While its tactics will evolve, the fast food giant believes the consistency of its overarching marketing strategy is what grounds the brand.
Agencies will complain pre-testing snuffs out the creative spark, but in reality it helps brands identify the best-performing ads and make them even better.
The retailer, which has traditionally focused on in-store shopping only, also plans to roll out its click-and-collect initiative to all stores in Great Britain.
