As part of her role, Bowen will be charged with overseeing the delivery of work for TDC’s roster of clients, which includes leading product design and innovation agency Seymourpowell, tech giant Panasonic, global brand design consultancy FutureBrand as well as prominent non-profit advertising and design association, D&AD.

From evolving the services TDC provides, the international expansion of the agency and ensuring consistently excellent delivery for clients, there are lots of exciting challenges ahead that I am looking forward to taking on.” 

Tim Duncan, founder and managing director, TDC PR commented: “Rachel brings with her a wealth of experience in brand communications and leadership which will prove invaluable to us as we grow. She also joins at a pivotal moment for the creative industries as a whole. Covid has shone a spotlight on the creators, artists, inventors and makers whose work we have often taken for granted but have relied upon now, more than ever, to not only keep us sane but to have a positive impact on society. PR and communications will play a critical role in supporting an industry that has, for years, tried to justify its purpose, despite the inherent value it brings. Rachel’s clear business acumen and expertise in delivering integrated campaigns will undoubtedly strengthen our collective of writers, former journalists, thought leadership specialists and industry communications professionals and enhance our proposition.”
