Pagefield, London’s fastest-growing communications agency, has announced a number of new appointments and a new advisory offer.

Will Spratt joined in May as a new Partner from MHP. He will strengthen the PR team, working alongside existing Pagefield partner and his former colleague, Kate Levine, with whom he worked at Cohn & Wolfe. He will also use his international experience to support the Pagefield Diplomat offering.

Will said: “Pagefield has consistently been recognised as one of the industry’s most dynamic and fastest-growing agencies. This, as well as the opportunity to work as part of a very talented team and for a fascinating mix of clients, is pretty attractive. I am looking forward to contributing to Pagefield’s ongoing momentum.”

Pagefield has also recruited three new consultants: Geoff Duggan who was previously at Porter Novelli, Samantha Vogts from Baldwin Boyle Group agency in New Zealand, and Benjamin Thiele-Long, a former criminal barrister who brings legal expertise to the agency.

Tom Bage, who joined the agency as a consultant in 2012, has been promoted to Associate Partner; Sam Oakley, Fred Azis-Laranjo and Nathan Jones have proved again the success of Pagefield’s graduate internship programme by moving up to Executive level.

Mark Gallagher, Pagefield’s founder and Senior Partner said: “The first quarter of 2014 has seen rapid growth for Pagefield. I am delighted we’re able to attract really high-calibre people to strengthen the backbone of a great agency.

At the same time, Pagefield has today announced its newest service - Pagefield Advisory - which is a new strategic counsel offer for national and international business leaders, utilising the expertise of Pagefield’s advisory board and senior advisors to offer discreet counsel, training and support in the political and media arenas.

The agency now has over 30 full-time staff, supported by the 20 specialist partners and senior advisory board directors and is chaired by Sir Christopher Meyer, former British Ambassador to the United States and Germany and former Chairman of the Press Complaints Commission.

Christopher Meyer said: “Pagefield Advisory is an offer we have been developing for some time and I’m delighted that we have an extraordinarily strong team of senior advisers with outstanding contacts and experience. I really don’t think you’ll find senior counsel of this stature elsewhere.”
