Venables Bell & Partners has hired veteran planner Michael Davidson to run its strategy department.

Davidson joins Venables after six years at Omnicom's Goodby Silverstein & Partners, where he worked on accounts like Sprint and Xfinity.

At Venables, Davidson's title will be head of strategy. He will oversee day-to-day management of 21 staffers in the agency's strategy department. That role was previously handled by Lucy Farey-Jones, a partner at the agency. Farey-Jones, whose title is executive strategy director, will continue to advise on high-level client strategy, but also shift focus to the agency's own strategy.
