CARDIFF-BASED content marketing agency BrandConte­nt has expanded its team as it gears up for further expansion.

The new hires include former senior media and PR officer at the charity Marie Curie, Alice Lally who joins the BrandConte­nt PR team as account manager. It comes as the agency has expanded its client roster to industries beyond tech and financial services

Moreover, Rebekah Hewett joins the team as an account executive. Previously a communicat­ions Officer at Trivallis, a housing associatio­n based in Rhondda Cynon Taff (RCT), she has worked on both external and internal PR campaigns within the housing sector.

The fast-growing list of clients working with BrandConte­nt include FTSE 100-listed Admiral, AIM-listed FairFX, insurer Ageas, NFU Mutual, Loop and several tech clients in the UK.

Sharon Flaherty, founder and chief executive at BrandConte­nt, set up the agency after leaving Flintshire-based price comparison firm Moneysuper­market.com as its group head of communicat­ions in 2015.

She said: “I’m really excited about what the new team will bring to the agency. We have an ambitious growth strategy for 2020 including entering new markets and our new hires will help us on this journey. In five years, we have grown from one woman at a kitchen table to the best small content agency in the UK, and the growth plan doesn’t stop there. We will have a fresh focus for 2020, with many new and exciting announceme­nts to be expected from the agency.”

BrandConte­nt also has an office in London.
