Kenyon Fraser merges with Concept and Edian

LIVERPOOL PR firm Kenyon Fraser has merged with two other Merseyside firms, Concept PR and digital agency Edian.

Richard Kenyon has become chief executive with Ben O’Brien becoming managing director of Kenyon Fraser.

The managing directors at Concept and Edian, Margaret Tarpey and Nick Holland respectively, will stay in their roles.

Kenyon Fraser did not reveal any financial details of the tie-up but said the combined business will have 30 staff and 100 clients.

Mr Kenyon said: “It is business as usual for all three companies’ clients and staff. Both Concept and Edian are continuing to go about their business in their usual way, it’s just now as part of the Kenyon Fraser ‘family’.

“There are obvious benefits in having a larger team in terms of experience and strength in depth, but there will be no noticeable change for clients or staff across the three firms. All three are successful in their own right and provide excellent services to our clients, so we aren’t looking to change much at all.”
