James Mann will become consultancy director.
He will be reunited with Mark Dixon; the Telegraph’s former marketing director who quit to start up the Manchester-based agency.
Mann said: “It’s great to be working again for a company such as Fuse. We’re already causing a stir in the market place as we are a unique agency that specialises in both media and sport, and there simply aren’t many of our contemporaries who can boast a similar level of direct experience and expertise.”
