International Financial Comms and Marketing Agency Network Launches

The Financial Narrative Independent Agency Network features seven agencies, which between them operate in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. They are:

• Vested (UK and North America), represented by Elspeth Rothwell, CEO of EMEA
• Communicators (DACH region – Germany, Austria, Switzerland), represented by Annette Matzke, managing partner
• Rossen & Company (Nordics), represented by Nicolai Frederik Bonnén Rossen, managing partner

• Ashbury Communications (Asia and the Middle East from Hong Kong, Singapore & Dubai), represented by Adam Harper, founder and managing partner

According to the group, the network will “bring together market-leading consultancies to tell more impactful stories and ensure clients benefit from a combination of deep industry knowledge and on-the-ground local expertise”.

The new agency network has spun out of Financial Narrative, the networking group for senior figures working in financial comms and marketing, which was founded in 2019.
