Sutton was previously head of digital comms at Bottle PR, where he created campaigns for brands including Golden Wonder, The History Channel and AXA.
The position at Popcorn is a long-term consulting contract for 2015 to act as the senior social strategist for clients. It is a newly created role and Sutton starts immediately.
Sutton will divide his time between advising and leading the in-house teams while growing the social division.
