'Leading' Brighton marketing agency acquires new design agency

Leading Brighton based marketing agency Fox&Bear is celebrating its tenth year of trading with the acquisition of a third marketing agency, Mineral Creative.

Bringing this highly talented and successful creative agency onboard will strengthen Fox&Bear’s fast-growing Design and Branding department. Mineral Creative join the business with a wide-ranging roster of clients including global brands, SMEs and charities.

Formed in 2013 through a highly successful collaboration between James Dempster and Tim Cobb of Eastbourne based CobbPR, Fox&Bear is now embarking on the next stage of its growth.

James Dempster, managing director and co-founder at Fox&Bear said: “Today, we are delighted to announce that we have purchased a leading advertising agency to help push us on to the next level.

“Over the past ten years I have found that employing experts in each role has been a recipe for happy clients. This is the third acquisition that I’ve undertaken and is a proven way to grow whilst maintaining our culture of delivering excellent work.

“At Fox&Bear we believe in telling stories powered by data. We live in a time that pushes data and insight on us at every turn, but without powerful creative this means nothing.”

Fox&Bear’s team of 18 highly skilled and super-motivated marketers have been joined by the creative team of Ben Harrison, Chris Jewell, Gemma Hill, John Sim and Jenny Sefton, formerly at Mineral Creative.

Ben Harrison, director at Mineral Creative, said: “We’re thrilled to be joining forces with Fox&Bear. Chris Jewell and I founded Mineral nearly eleven years ago to offer clients big agency expertise with boutique levels of customer service. In Fox&Bear we’ve found a team that really shares our values and can offer our clients services we don’t offer, and vice versa. We’re excited for the future.”

Fox&Bear brings together expertise in digital marketing, public relations, strategy, design, branding and analytics, to create cunning campaigns and deliver them fiercely.
