Award-winning communications agency Osborn adds to team on back of growth

Up and coming agency Osborn Communications has expanded its team on the back of revenue and client number growth to help customers reach new audiences.

The agency, which won the Black Country Chamber of Commerce start-up of the year award in 2021, has added experienced communications specialist Rachel Adams to the line-up after securing a run of new business wins and extensions to client partnerships.

Rachel, who joins from £1.3bn-turnover convenience giant AF Blakemore, will work alongside director and former BBC journalist Chris Leggett and communications specialist Clare Knowles to provide support for businesses across media relations, content and social media campaigns.

Having launched in 2020, Osborn has grown to deliver work for retained clients based across the West Midlands, as well as customers in London and the South West.

The remote working agency, which also makes use of office space in St Paul’s Square, Birmingham, has produced successful digital, PR and marketing work for a range of leading brands. Among those to come on board last year was Black Country business loan provider BCRS Business Loans, who appointed Osborn to provide PR and media support.

Delivering positive messages for businesses to help them sell and grow profits across the UK and internationally, Osborn has secured prominent TV, radio, online news and print coverage, backed with social media and website support for clients operating in a range of sectors including retail, professional services, facilities management, training and tech.

Since September 2021, the agency’s award entry writing support has helped clients achieve 21 award wins and 98 finalist placings.

Rachel Adams commented: “To be joining Osborn Communications at a time when the agency is looking to expand is an exciting opportunity for me. I have been impressed by the success it has already achieved in just a couple of years.

“I hope that my experience in both internal and external communications will add value to Osborn clients and help the agency continue to grow. I am looking forward to making a positive difference to local businesses as well as those further afield.”

Director Chris Leggett said: “I am delighted that Rachel has chosen to join at what promises to be an exciting time for Osborn as we help clients deliver compelling campaigns, both internally and externally. We continue to benefit from the support of some amazing customers, who we see as partners in our growth story to date.

“By strengthening the team we are expanding our experienced support for communications and content at a time when we know businesses will want to fully engage with their staff while continuing to make the most of every opportunity for growth despite the economic challenges.”

Osborn Communications works with a number of leading partners to deliver complementary services for clients, including website development, creative, video and photography.
