A full service advertising agency is celebrating a record year for its Birmingham office after it secured a string of new wins.

M3, which also operates out of sites in Albrighton and London, launched its presence in the second city just over three years ago and in that time has built up a global client list that is generating over £1.2m of the firm’s £8m annual billings.

Specialising in executing digital creative and marketing campaigns, the agency’s second biggest base has created five jobs in the last few months and plans to move to larger offices shortly that can accommodate up to 30 individuals.

It marks what has been a period of growth for the company and comes just a few weeks after it completed its senior management team with the appointment of Emma Bowen as group account director.

She brings with her two decades of experience in media and marketing, including heading up Adgen for four years.

Nick Lovett, managing director of M3, saidt: “This is massive coup for our business to get someone of the pedigree and experience of Emma and gives us real strength in depth in our senior management team.

“Even with the pressures of Covid-19, we are still seeing strong growth, especially in our Birmingham office where we are witnessing major demand for our digital, creative, SEO and video services.”

Bowen’s appointment is the latest in a series of additions to the senior management team at M3, with Steve Price and Dave Gayson joining as creative director and performance director respectively.

Lorena Tolic has come onboard as full time social media and PR executive.

Delicious PR MD Anita Champaneri said: “Since government restrictions were fully lifted last summer the Birmingham restaurant and bar scene has exploded and we’ve seen a host of new venues open up in the City which has resulted in several new client wins. This year has been even better with a wealth of opportunity coming up and our senior hire ensures we are in a better place to capitalise on this. I’m delighted to welcome Emma and Lorena and know they will both become an invaluable part of the Delicious team.”
