business wins including Estrella Damm lager, Westons Cider and Pukka pies.
Kennedy, who has been risen through the ranks and played an integral role in supporting the growth of the agency’s remit with plant-based food leader Alpro over the last 9 years, is promoted to Associate Director, Food, and will help the agency’s new business drive, as well as helping to nurture the agency’s young talent.
Brown, meanwhile, will fulfil the same role across the
agency’s impressive drinks roster, as well as continuing to lead R&T’s

Thomson adds: “We pride ourselves on the longevity of both
our staff retention and client retention, so it is very pleasing to once again
be in a position to promote from within for two such pivotal roles within our
growing business.”
