Agent Invests in Expertise with Senior Promotions

Award winning full-service brand and communications agency, Agent, has announced two senior promotions, ahead of a year of ambitious growth.

The North West-based agency – which has offices in Manchester and Liverpool – has promoted Drew Grant to Creative Director, and Daniel Byrne to Strategy Director. Both have been fundamental to the agency’s growth in recent years, with Drew spearheading its recent re-brand, which was revealed earlier this year.

The promotions follow significant success for the agency this year and will allow it to expand its offer for its high-profile client roster, which includes the Road Haulage Association, Peel Ports, Nippon Electric Glass and United Utilities.

Increasing its headcount by over 15% in 2022, the agency – which launched in 2006 with just three members of staff – now has 40 team members, spanning various areas of expertise across its four departments: Strategy, Creative, Digital and Campaigns.

On his new role, Daniel Byrne, Strategy Director said:

“I’m delighted to be taking up this new role. I’m looking forward to continuing our growth at Agent and building on the work we have been doing with our clients, making sure there is a golden strategic thread that runs through everything we do.”

Drew Grant, Creative Director, added:

“I’m excited about the opportunity this new role presents in terms of being able to put a real focus on our creative direction as a business. Given the expansion of the team, we’re in a brilliant position to explore even more growth, opening ourselves up to new projects and clients, and really making a difference in everything we do.”

Paul Corcoran, Agent’s CEO, said:

“I’m exceptionally proud of everything we’ve achieved so far as an agency and it’s in no small part thanks to our incredibly committed and experienced team. We’ve had some significant client wins this year which have resulted in us further expanding our areas of expertise, so that we can continue to make good work, bringing in the right talent to do just that.

“As we grow, we’re always looking for ways to invest in our team and bring people on our journey with us. It’s not just about bringing in new talent, but developing the talent that we already have, which is why it was so important for us to promote Drew and Daniel to these senior positions, in recognition of the part they’ve played in our story so far, and where we’re going next.”
