Fishburn Hedges Group today launches its new digital creative agency, Brew, and announces two senior appointments for the new business.

Brew brings together digital strategy and creative, user experience, along with PR expertise to create content and platforms to help brands become part of conversations online.

Steve Mulholland and Julian Blom have been brought on board as creative director and head of user experience respectively. They join managing partners Mobbie Nazir, former head of planning for MRM Worldwide, and Chris Reed, a Fishburn Hedges director with 15 years’ experience in communications, to make up the core Brew team, along with account manager Karine Delfourne.

Steve Mulholland joins Brew having held a number of creative director positions at Crayon, JWT and Agency.com, where he was responsible for award-winning digital creative work for British Airways, BT & Nestlé.

Julian Blom’s background comprises over 15 years in user experience and interactive product design. He was previously director/lead user experience architect at LBi for clients including BT Tradespace, BT Consumer, Sony PlayStation and the COI.

Mobbie Nazir said:

“Brew’s speciality is creating ideas and platforms that get audiences involved with brands and, as a result, helping brands become more involved in online conversations. We are as comfortable developing digital strategies and creative multi-channel digital experiences as we are listening to and then participating in social media spaces."

Neil Hedges, chairman of the Fishburn Hedges Group, said:

“Brew is a natural next step for the Fishburn Hedges Group, adding to our extensive PR, social media, branding and design capabilities. This is a significant digital offer at the heart of our group, built as a direct response to increasing demands from the marketplace for PR and digital solutions to work together.”

Prior to its official launch, Brew has been working with a number of Fishburn Hedges Group clients, including thetrainline.com, The Carbon Trust, Betfair, FRANK and HMRC.
