LRD joins with TPA

Wednesday 13 March 2019

Local marketing agency LRD has joined with pan-island communications and digital agency TPA.

Moving forward under the TPA brand, the move means the two IPA-accredited businesses will offer one service across marketing, creative and digital.

"Joining with TPA will provide our clients with access to market-leading, in-house digital expertise, as well as a larger resource of creative professionals to manage and deliver complex multi-channel campaigns. It also gives us an on-island presence for our clients based in Jersey," said Tom Robertshaw, LRD Managing Director.

"TPA is a great fit for us; they share the same values around teamwork, creative excellence and effective work. We are excited to deliver real change to our clients and partners through our expanded capabilities." 

Mr Robertshaw will join the TPA board of directors as the new Director of Client Service working with newly-promoted Business Director Ben Inder, while Ian Langlois will become Associate Creative Director working alongside Phil Regan.

TPA Managing Director Nigel Kennedy said: "Tom's a wonderful communicator and talented leader with a strong track record that goes right back to his time working on brands such as Sainsbury's, Peugeot, Flybe and Genting Casinos. While Ian and his creative team deliver some of the smartest campaign ideas that we've seen coming out of competitor shops. This is going to be great for our work and great for our clients." 

TPA was recently shortlisted for the International Travel Marketing Awards for its digital work with VisitGuernsey, in which it placed third, and has also won Business of the Year several times.
