BRANDON NAMES TIM PERKINS, FORMERLY OF DESIGN BRIDGE & PARTNERS, AS THE INDEPENDENT AGENCY’S FIRST CHAIRMAN

Independent branding agency Brandon share news of its latest senior leadership appointment; Tim Perkins, who joins as Chairman.

Tim spent over 30 years at Design Bridge & Partners where he was pivotal in its growth from an independent London design studio into the WPP-owned global agency it is today. He now brings that experience to Brandon, where he’ll focus on building the agency’s next phase of growth alongside founders, Richard and Abi Taylor.

“One of the things that resonated most with me was Brandon’s ‘We go together’ philosophy. We’re living through a time of accelerated change, and brands and businesses are under pressure to move faster than ever.

Brandon’s entrepreneurial spirit brings a refreshing agility to their client relationships. The team clearly cares about delivering strategic and creative work at pace, but what really sets Brandon apart is the warmth and humility that underpins everything. It’s infectious, and it’s exactly what the industry needs right now.”

Next year, Brandon will be celebrating 15 years in business, starting with humble roots in the attic of Richard and Abi’s home and growing into the 40-strong team they lead across Manchester and London today.

“As we head towards our next milestone, Abi and I have been reflecting on our 14-year journey to date. In more recent years we’ve been laser-focused on building meaningful client partnerships with multinationals including The Coca-Cola Company, Kimberly-Clark, and Kraft Heinz.

We’ve grown the team and studio space in Manchester, established a second studio in London, achieved B Corp accreditation, and delivered design that is transforming brands including Kleenex, Amoy, Jus-Rol, Pilgrims Choice and Pizza Express.

We are also immensely proud to win our first Sustainable Design award for our partnership with Vinca Wine. With his unrivalled experience in agency growth and client partnerships, we couldn’t be happier to have Tim join us and help guide the future of Brandon. Our ‘We Go Together’ philosophy really couldn’t be more appropriate as it’s a philosophy that we all share. In an ever faster moving world, true partnership is working hand-in-hand to deliver commercial success by helping businesses to empower their brands.”
