Creative brand communications agency Brandnation has appointed industry veteran Andrew Bloch as a non-executive director.

Bloch co-founded and was managing partner of Frank PR for 20 years before stepping back in 2020 to launch his own marketing services consultancy Andrew Bloch & Associates.

He will act as an advisor to Brandnation’s board “following a sustained period of commercial success across new and existing business”. 

In his role as a non-executive director, Bloch will be responsible for working closely with its leadership team “to unlock new growth opportunities within PR, influencer, social and digital marketing”.

Mary Killingworth, founder and managing director of Brandnation said: “Andrew brings a wealth of experience to the boardroom – he’s been there, done that, and got the T-shirt. 

“After two decades in business at Brandnation, we’re hungrier and more driven than ever to create the best work and deliver the best results for our clients. This ambition is reflected by Andrew, and together, we feel we have the skills and experience to realise the agency’s full potential.”

Bloch added: “Brandnation is arguably one of the industry’s best kept secrets. The leadership team runs a super slick operation that’s founded on creative excellence and commercial strength. It’s ‘Creativity. Multiplied.’ philosophy, which fuses bold ideas with intelligent amplification, offers something truly fresh and highly relevant to today’s market. I’m really looking forward to getting stuck in and helping them achieve their ambitious growth targets.”
 
Brandnation’s client roster includes American outdoor label Columbia Sportswear and the E1 World Championship.
