FULL-SERVICE marketing agency Cartwright Communications has continued the growth of its London office with the move to a new premises following a pair of significant hires.
Oliver Sargent and Sophie Marrow have been brought in as senior PR consultant and senior account executive respectively, while Hannah Bullock has been promoted to senior account manager.
The trio will now work out of The Building Society in Fitzrovia, having relocated from the Farringdon premises where the agency launched its London presence last year.
Since then, the agency has picked up key clients based in the capital, including Seggiano and Heavenly Desserts. That growth has prompted the expansion of the team, with Hannah taking a senior role to reflect her development since joining the agency in 2022.
Hannah said: “Having re-joined Cartwright last year as the London office’s first recruit, it has been a great source of pride to see both our client base and team expand. Our recent move to The Building Society has also been a really exciting step, symptomatic of the next phase of growth for our team in the capital.
“We’ve seen real success in London’s consumer food and drink space in our first year, and I’m really looking forward to working alongside Sophie and Ollie in my new role to continue the growth of Cartwright London.”
Oliver joins the Cartwright team from DevComms, where he specialised in stakeholder engagement in the built environment, working with clients on their communications strategy around challenging development proposals.
Oliver said: “This is an exciting opportunity to join Cartwright’s growing team in London, and I am looking forward to contributing my experience and knowledge to the company. Cartwright has a fantastic set of clients, and I eagerly anticipate working with them and further building the company’s brand in London.”
Bringing a specialism in PR and social media, Sophie joins as a senior account executive, working across the agency’s portfolio of clients across its London, Nottingham and Birmingham offices.
Sophie said: “Having worked in-house managing consumer PR and social media for a well-known London-based estate agents for four and a half years, the move to agency side is one that I’m really enjoying – especially working with Cartwright’s exciting roster of clients.”

Alongside the launch of the London office, the agency has also successfully opened a base in Birmingham and launched a number of new service lines in the last 18 months, and now boasts a 30-strong team of PR, digital, social media, brand and marketing experts.
Annie Brafield, company director at Cartwright Communications, said: “As our agency expands, we’re committed to growing our presence across both our London and Birmingham offices. Hannah has shown herself to be a real shining light in our London office, and in Sophie and Ollie, we have brought in some great talent with the skills and expertise to support wider team.
“These hires and the move to The Building Society are a key part of our strategy to further embed ourselves in the London market, and this new location is a great place to cross-pollenate our knowledge with like-minded businesses, particularly in the property and construction sector.”
