Huckleberry has added a dash of Brazilian flair to the agency while also beefing up its digital offering with the appointments of Toby Somerville and Giacomo Groff.

Somerville has been given the nod as the DenstuAegis Network agency's technical director as it eyes stronger web and app development.

The new hire comes with experience from agencies such as Tribal DDB, Atomic Media, and PWC Stamford Interactive.

Meanwhile, Huckleberry's new strategy director Groff is moving from Brazil to take up the role, having worked with the likes of M&C Saatchi as associate director of strategy & technology.

Groff has also held strategy roles with Ogilvy & Mather, Ogilvy One and Ambulance.

"Giacamo's full-service and digital background will positively impact our delivery on bought, earned, and owned channels and Toby's appointment allows us to upscale our technology deliverables and he balances the need for great leadership with an excellent technical background," Huckleberry's MD Melissa Roberts said.
