One Green Bean has appointed founder Kat Thomas as its new executive creative director, and while former managing partner Matt Buchanan will become managing director.

One Green Bean founder Kat Thomas will assume the new title of executive creative director but she has denied the agency is looking to become a full-service shop.

Thomas will focus on the agency's expanding creative output across the PR and digital team, with her title executive creative director and founder.

The move will see managing partner Matt Buchanan be promoted to managing director. He will take a business leadership role across the agency, aiming to drive strategy and oversee client service and business development. He joined the agency in October 2012 after two years as managing director of Ogilvy-owned consumer PR agency Pulse.

Thomas told AdNews that despite the agency's increasing focus on creative, it would not become full-service. "We are not moving towards being an integrated agency," she said. "We are investing in creative which has the thinking of earned media right at the heart."

The agency has clients including The Commonwealth Bank, Toyota, Unilever, Coca Cola, Warner Brothers, Kimberley Clark, Ferrero, LEGO and Pacific Brands.
