FieldHouse Associates, the only communications agency that focuses on the high growth tech, investment, and innovation sector, has made two appointments to its senior team, Anna Jones as associate director and Tom Knock as account director. In addition, the company has bolstered its junior team with account manager Lily Wiggins, and account executives Keturah Prendergast and Seun Alibi, each joining from Seven Hills.

Jones spent over nine years at Brunswick Group LLP, where she advised on corporate and financial communications for clients across multiple sectors including St James Place Capital, Press Acquisitions Limited (owner of the Telegraph Group), WHSmith, Trader Classified Media, Bear Stearns International and Nesta. Following her time at Brunswick, Jones joined the senior management team of start-up Social360, helping to build the company from the ground up. She will be working across a range of clients including Lendingblock, Positive Technologies and Black Swan Data.

Jones said, “FieldHouse Associates is right in the heart of the London start-up ecosystem, advising high growth tech businesses, their investors and related professional services firms. This unique offering, together with the exceptionally high calibre of the team, enables FieldHouse Associates to deliver campaigns that impact the bottom line and help clients grow. I am hugely proud to join the business.”  

Knock joins from Brands2Life, where he gained significant experience building the reputations of B2B and B2C brands including GE, Blu-ray, Nikon, Revolut, Divido and Arup over five-and-a-half years. He will be working with a number of new and existing clients including Constellation, Kuato Studios, Nominet and Spectral Edge.

Knock said, “I’m thrilled to be joining FieldHouse Associates, and diving head first into the fast-growth technology scene. Many traditional industries are going through an exciting period of change, and it’s this time of disruption, coupled with FieldHouse Associates' no nonsense, honest and entrepreneurial approach to communications, that attracted me to join the team.”

The hires have been made to support significant growth in business at the agency, with a number of new clients added to the roster in the last six months including BBVA, Constellation, Elsewhen, IQ Capital, Lending Block, Nominet,  Taylor Vinters and Trusted Knight - in addition to a number of new projects in progress.

Cordelia Meacher, FieldHouse Associates’ founder and managing director, said, “It’s a real accolade to FieldHouse that we continue to attract new people from leading PR agencies, and I am very proud of our new hires. We work hard at FieldHouse to really look after our team, and - learned from experience at a number of different agencies ourselves - we try to do things differently, and better.  It’s super exciting to see this working and I am confident that this delivers a better experience for the individual, and the client."

“The clients we have won recently - and the new business pipeline - are amazing. That most of our business continues to be incoming via recommendation is hugely flattering and humbling. FieldHouse is going from strength to strength and I couldn’t be more grateful to the team, and to all our clients, and those who have shown faith in what we are doing. PR, done well, should help a business to achieve its goals, if it isn’t then there is something wrong with the PR. NB FieldHouse Associates is still hiring. We are especially looking for talented people at JAE / AE to whom we can offer incredible opportunities for growth,” Meacher continued.
