“Amanda and I have known each other for many years after both working client side in marketing together. Having both come from marketing backgrounds, we know that the primary focus must always be on finding creative ways to deliver ROI for our clients. I am excited about this merge of skill sets as it enables us to deliver a truly unique and holistic experience to our clients and helps us find even more ways of Giving Brands a Bigger Voice,” said group managing director, Noisy Beast Group, David Brown.
“Our unique model ensures our clients get all the strategic thinking across all the communications channels, without having to manage it.

Adding the communications disciplines of iD will be incredibly powerful”, added Brown.
“The highly anticipated and exciting merge between the two agencies presents an incredible opportunity to bring the success of both our passions under one roof.
