Three senior creatives have joined forces to launch their own advertising agency in Manchester. Simon Sinclair, ex-McCann Erickson, Katie Williams, also ex-McCann, and Phil Howells, formerly of The Hub in London, have formed “Pravda”.
Pravda, Russian for “truth”, has already secured a number of accounts, including national restaurant chain Toby Carvery, online share trading company E Trade and online fishing tackle store flybuyer.com.
Sinclair said: “There’s one other big client that we’ve got at the moment who’s paying the bills, but we haven’t been cleared to talk about them yet.”
The agency is currently sharing premises with Tucker Clarke Williams.
