A full-service creative and digital marketing agency is launching a Welsh office to support its national and international growth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jim Carpenter, the former co-ceo of Orchard, and corporate comms specialist Kate Jones will drive M3.agency\u2019s Welsh expansion, opening offices on Cathedral Road in Cardiff.<\/p>\n

The duo will bring 50 years\u2019 combined experience to M3.agency, which has four existing offices and a 50-strong team of creatives, digital experts, strategists and video production.<\/p>\n

The vision for the Welsh operation is to contribute to the group\u2019s annual \u00a350 million billings whilst building on a client portfolio that includes MG Motor Group, Geely and Visit Jersey.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThere is a massive opportunity for a firm \u2013 with a Welsh footprint and understanding firmly based in Wales \u2013 to bring \u2018big agency\u2019 experience and skills to companies and organisations across the country. Businesses don\u2019t need to go outside now for the \u2018wow\u2019 factor and the \u2018track-record\u2019,\u201d explained Jim, co-founder of M3.agency Wales.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will deliver new momentum, drive action and accelerate positive outcomes for clients when it comes to raising awareness, penetrating new markets and increasing return on investment.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe plan is to take a pan-Wales approach, creating jobs and promoting growth and opportunities right across the Welsh creative and digital sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Formed in 2000, M3.agency offers brand development, creative, digital marketing, media planning and web development services.<\/p>\n

It serves more than 100 clients from existing offices in Birmingham, London, Telford and Bristol and has set its sights on creating one of the largest independent networks of agencies that span key locations across the UK and beyond.<\/p>\n

The Cardiff office is the latest location in an ambitious six-month plan that will also see the opening of hubs in the North and its first international base.<\/p>\n

Co-founder Kate Jones said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cJim and I are both excited at the prospect of bringing our momentum, creative direction and focus to our clients through a truly local agency that has all the backing, experience and expertise that comes with a national full-service business.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

M3.agency\u2019s CEO Nick Lovett said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWorking with exciting businesses based in Wales has always been an ambition of ours and, like all areas, we respect the need to work on the inside to truly \u2018get\u2019 the unique local landscape.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very rare to set-up a new agency with two of the region\u2019s most respected operators at the helm, so we\u2019re ready to really accelerate our expansion plans.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Jim and Kate, we have two experts that are passionate about the area they call home and have a significant bank of business and individual connections. We\u2019ve invested in dedicated office space and are about to push the button on a recruitment drive, which will complement our existing 50-strong team of specialists who are eager to support the Welsh team in delivering the \u2018M3 difference\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
