In a move that continues to strengthen its digital offering, HCL is delighted to announce the appointment of the first three key team members in its expansion plans. 

Rich Urwin has joined as Creative Director to head up the agency’s concept creation and design services. Also joining are Luke Brookes as Digital Designer, and Joe Ciavucco as Web Developer. Having previously worked at the likes of Saatchi & Saatchi, they have a wealth of experience between them working on high-profile projects, creating innovative and distinctive work. HCL is now in an ideal position to expand its offering to both new and existing clients.

The appointments come soon after the acquisition of HCL Marketing (Harrison Carloss Ltd.), Staffordshire’s longest running marketing communications company, by MyCleverGroup based on Festival Park in its 20,000 sq ft HQ.

HCL is a full-service creative marketing agency whose team has produced a string of highly successful campaigns and digital assets for a long list of well-known global, national and regional brands.   

The agency offers a complete range of marketing services including web design, digital marketing, branding and marketing strategy, email marketing and direct mail, advertising, design for print and print management. 

Gareth Mobley, CEO of MCG, commented, “We are very excited to welcome Rich, Luke and Joe to the team. They are a great fit for our culture here at MCG. This is just the beginning of MyCleverGroup’s recruitment process and ongoing investment in the agency to cement its place as a sector leader in the area and beyond. We’re building on HCL’s long-standing foundations as we continue to grow our in-house capabilites, increasing the focus on world-class digital, app development, data analytics and cloud-based software systems.

Our mission at HCL is to offer our clients a truly first-class service to go along with the highest levels of creativity and digital innovation.”
