Creative PR and communications agency, No Brainer, has expanded its team with the appointment of a new PR, social media and content manager.

Lauren Pritchard has joined the Cheshire-based agency at a time of real growth and is set to support on B2B and B2C accounts, bringing a variety of experience and expertise to the business. Pritchard joins from creative Liverpool agency, Liquid, having previously worked in-house at ao.com and at Weber Shandwick’s Manchester office.

Lee Cullen, director and co-founder of No Brainer, says, “Lauren is an accomplished communications professional with a host of great household brand names under her belt. She’ll be a great asset to the No Brainer team as her experience lends itself to our current clients and will also complement our future growth strategy. This is a key strategic hire for us and aims to seal No Brainer’s position as one of the North West’s most exciting communications agencies. We look forward to Lauren’s passion and enthusiasm becoming an integral part of our agency.”

Pritchard adds, “I’m really excited to be part of such a fast-growing, dynamic agency. No Brainer has achieved so much in just two years and has big ambitions for the future. They have a strong focus on securing national clients from their North West base, so it’s a great time to join.”

Hannah Jones, 23, has also been taken on as a full-time account executive after working with the agency during her final year at Manchester Metropolitan University Business School.

Founded by Gary Jenkins and Cullen in 2015, No Brainer was recently crowned ‘New Agency of the Year’ at the PRmoment north awards and last year picked up the ‘New Business of the Year’ title at the coveted Warrington Business Awards.
