His role will be to evolve Dialogue’s offering across all channels, especially video and digital content, while also overseeing continued innovation in its print offerings.

Alan’s role will be to develop digital-centric reach and engagement strategies for clients that take advantage of the bespoke, audience-driven content created by Dialogue.
Dialogue managing director Gavin Miller commented: “We are constantly evolving our service offering and it’s fantastic to welcome creative and digital talent like Jon and Alan on board – recognising the strength of our content marketing offering and significant growth potential.”
Jon Lilley commented: “Content marketing doesn’t just bridge the gap between social and traditional advertising channels, it encompasses them. It’s the most exciting marketing sector to be working in right now and the opportunities for really big ideas are huge. Dialogue has got a great base to build on, with a team of people who have built their careers on brand stories. I don’t think there is another company that can boast their level of experience.”
Alan Dykes added: “If you want people to care about your product or service you need to care about them – and delivering content that’s truly targeted, interesting and engaging makes a brand stand out. What attracted me to Dialogue is that this mantra is a starting point, not an afterthought. This offers brands some fantastic opportunities through digital channels especially.”
