PR agency Finn opens London office with new board appointment

Finn, the Leeds-based PR consultancy, has announced the opening of Finn in London along with the appointment of Matt Bourn as partner and director, London.

Opening on July 4th, the new office will extend Finn’s corporate, trade and consumer PR services to media brands, as well as bring new content to the agency’s existing clients.

Bourn brings a 20-year track record in the media, marketing and ad tech landscape which will help Finn’s clients navigate the changing communications landscape.

Matt Bourn is the former MD of Braben and, most recently, SVP Europe of MWW PR’s Media Practice, where he has built a client base including Bloomberg Media, Sky Media, Bauer Media, and the Content Marketing Association.

Finn, currently shortlisted for the CIPR Outstanding Mid-Sized PR Consultancy, has a portfolio of blue chip clients including Taylor’s of Harrogate, Quorn Foods, ghd, Morphy Richards, R&R Ice Cream and Addo Food Group.

Richard Rawlins, Finn PR managing director, said: “The appointment of Matt and the opening of our London office is a significant milestone for Finn.

“We deliver largely national briefs from Leeds and this strengthens our connection with London’s influencer base. At the same time, we can apply Matt’s deep knowledge and expertise in the media sector to the many consumer and B2B challenges facing our clients.”

Matt Bourn, partner and director of Finn London, added: “Clients need agency partners who can manage and build reputation to positively impact on commercial performance. I am hugely excited to be joining Finn which is perfectly sited at the heart of consumer brands, technology and the media landscape.”
