Three former Rise at Seven employees have officially launched their new digital PR agency, Bottled Imagination.
The Manchester-based agency, which initially began trading following a soft launch in June, is the creation of Luke Cope, creative strategy director, James Hayward-Browne, marketing director and Katy Powell, PR director. It offers a digital PR, digital strategy and creative ideation service to brands in addition to consultation to agencies. It has already hired its first employee and won three accounts, including luxury fashion retailer Fenwick.
Cope said: “After working together with Katy and James on multiple successful projects, it felt like it was our time to do something of our own. The digital PR and content marketing side of the industry has seen rapid growth. We want to put a real focus on strategy and the creative ideas as much as, if not more than the execution side.”
Hayward-Browne added: “We are already on track for our ambitious year one targets. We want to put the story at the heart of our work and create content that can work across multiple channels.”
Powell said: “The Digital PR industry is booming and securing results and proving value is harder than ever, but this is a challenge we’re ready to take on.”
The three previously held senior positions across PR, Content Marketing and Social at Rise at Seven.
