Stephen Knight Founder of Pimento said: “People make the difference... the agency world is changing. Clients want affordable, creative, agile and flexible solutions. Not bloated old school group structures with their huge overheads.”
Andy Clarke, Regional Partner Director, said: “The South West is a regional hotbed of creative and tech talent with a strong representation within the important independent sector. The regional GVA for the sector produces £332,000 per capita versus London at £220,000. I’m always inspired by the passion and impressive performance of the agencies and consultants within the membership who take their businesses and specialisms very seriously. They deliver outstanding solutions to national and global brands, as well as serving the regional.”
Simon Barbato, Owner Founder of Mr B & Friends: “We are delighted to host the inaugural 6pm Club and look forward to meeting and working with other network members. The marketing industry is going through a significant amount of change. Client briefs rarely require a single source of skills and therefore collaboration with other specialist agencies is often the key to delivering client success. The Pimento network enables this to happen in a friendly, collegiate and rewarding way”.
