    The Midnight Club has promoted Emily Mitchell to the new role of managing director, where she will lead the collective’s strategic growth agenda, and help shape its future direction to ensure the business is set up to expand with intent.

    The Midnight Club is the 360 creative studio from MIDNIGHTTM Creative Group, which Mitchell joined last July as group brand director, helping to connect its strategic, creative, production, and creative technology offerings.
