RBH, the creative communications agency founded in 1995 by Tim Rees, Ian Bradley and Debra Hepburn, and has launched a new website and new brand-powering philosophy – RBH BRANDSKATES.

The Midlands based full service agency has clients across the UK, spanning fashion, beauty, retail, leisure, automotive and B2B, including Zatchels, Wacoal, Colab, Jaguar Landrover, Peugeot, Certsure and Higgs & Sons. RBH has held the Wacoal account for more than ten years and helped lingerie brand Freya achieve CoolBrand status in 2013. In 2010 RBH launched its own online fashion platform, Young British Designers, to showcase emerging British fashion talent.

Highlights this year include creating new season lookbooks, managing photoshoots and developing a new ecommerce website for male fashion brand Duck and Cover, producing TV and radio adverts for Drayton Manor Theme Park and launching Grand Central Birmingham – having previously opened the Bullring Birmingham and Highcross Leicester. RBH provides dedicated marketing support for all Peugeot dealerships in the UK.

RBH has been in its barn conversion in Meriden for more than 15 years and five members of staff have been with the agency since day one – testament to the pride and passion of RBH’ers as they are known. To mark their birthday milestone RBH has launched a social media campaign using #RBHTwenty to share memories, work and photos from through the years. They have also created a commemorative stamp and there will be a set of postcards to celebrate their 20th year.

RBH has now developed a brand new look and feel, including a new logo and website for the agency. The strapline “We’ll take you there” is supported by new brand powering philosophy ‘BRANDSKATES’.

Debra Hepburn, Managing Director, RBH said: “It has been a rollercoaster 20 years and I wouldn’t change it for the world. To survive as an independent agency we have taken risks and have been prepared to flex and change according to the industry and the needs of our clients. Key to our success is our sheer determination and our brilliant people, we are always investing in fresh talent and challenging the norm. I am incredibly proud of everything that we have achieved and of all our RBH’ers who have such a passion for our agency, our clients and for producing truly fantastic work.”

Angel Gibbons, Commercial Director for RBH: “The climate today is very different to 20 years ago and we have had to change the way we target new business and work with our existing clients. We have been providing insight and strategy for a number of years now and RBH BRANDSKATES is an extension of that – we recognise the importance of immersing ourselves fully in the business before we can produce brilliant creative ideas and recommend the best channels for delivering them. The outlook for RBH is bright, we have a fantastic team and amazing clients, and we are very much looking forward to the next 20 years.”
