BRAZEN PR has appointed digital expert and commentator Paul Fabretti to its board as the agency looks to reinforce its social media and integrated communications offering.
Fabretti, a well-known figure in digital media circles, joins Brazen from Origin Creatives as digital director on October 10.
He will work alongside founder Nina Webb, deputy managing director Gary Bramwell and client services director Peter Burling on the board.
Agency founder Nina Webb said: “These days, PR is digital and digital is PR. Traditional agency definitions are relatively redundant in the current communications arena where we increasingly find ourselves competing against agencies specialising in design, SEO, build, apps, evaluation and online marketing.
“Paul’s addition to our senior team will underline our proposition to clients to look to Brazen as their lead agency in the digital communications field.”
