Strike Communications expands its senior leadership team
Strike Communications is celebrating three years since its formation with the news that it is expanding its senior leadership team.
Scott Fletcher is taking up the new role of creative director and will be supporting managing director, Catherine Frankpitt with the development of the purpose-led agency business.
Scott will help to deliver integrated creative work locally and nationally for Strike’s clients in the charities, causes and culture sectors.
To celebrate our birthday today, we’ve put a few of our highlights of the last three years into a (fairly light-hearted) infographic.

Scott, who was previously creative director for Play Nicely and has worked in senior creative and campaign production roles for FMCG, Hollywood, broadcast, and the arts and cultural industries, called his new role an “exciting and rare opportunity”.
He said: “Catherine and I talked at length to establish how a slightly left-field appointment could work and the more we spoke, the more it became clear how much synergy there is – not only in the specific transferable skills I have but in our personal aims and professional approaches.”
Scott’s work also includes integrated media marketing and digital arts campaigns for a number of cultural clients, which has included leading successful funding bids for Arts Council England.
The public relations agency, based in Broad Quay House, was launched in early 2020 by Catherine Frankpitt.
Since its launch, it has seen significant growth while building a client list of purpose-led organisations including Bristol Beacon, Limbs & Things, Paraorchestra, the Royal West of England Academy, We The Curious and the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine.

Catherine commented: “Strike has firmly established itself as a purpose-led agency in its first three years.
“My aim when I launched the agency was to focus its consultancy support on charities, causes and culture, as there are so many organisations in these areas that are doing incredible work but with limited internal comms resources.
“We are phenomenally grateful to have built up a portfolio of such fantastic and inspiring clients and we love being able to support them.
“I am really excited to have Scott joining the team and bringing his super creative talent and experience to help us achieve our ambitious growth plans for the next few years.”
