Finn, the Leeds-based PR consultancy, has announced the opening of Finn in London along with the appointment of Matt Bourn as partner and director, London.

Opening on July 4th, the new office will extend Finn’s corporate, trade and consumer PR services to media brands, as well as bring new content to the agency’s existing clients.

Bourn brings a 20-year track record in the media, marketing and ad tech landscape which will help Finn’s clients navigate the changing communications landscape.

Matt Bourn is the former MD of Braben and, most recently, SVP Europe of MWW PR’s Media Practice, where he has built a client base including Bloomberg Media, Sky Media, Bauer Media, and the Content Marketing Association.

Matt Bourn, partner and director of Finn London, added: “Clients need agency partners who can manage and build reputation to positively impact on commercial performance. I am hugely excited to be joining Finn which is perfectly sited at the heart of consumer brands, technology and the media landscape.”
