Agent, the full-service, B Corp-accredited marketing agency, has announced two new business wins as it enters it’s 20th year.
The agency, which has studios in Liverpool and Manchester, has been appointed by leading land, consents and engagement consultancy, Ardent. It has also renewed its partnership with Microlise, which provides technology solutions to the transport sector, and whose telematics and compliance products support the supply chains of most UK supermarket chains.
Ahead of its 20th birthday this year, the agency will support the new clients with integrated marketing services, led by detailed strategy and insight, to further establish their brands, and raise their profiles and authority amongst key target audiences.
Agent supports an array of national clients in the clean energy, logistics, infrastructure and good growth space, and offers a wealth of relevant experience which will support the ambitious growth plans of the pair.
Ardent provides a range of services for some of the most significant infrastructure and regeneration projects across the UK and Ireland and appointed Agent following a competitive pitch.
Meanwhile, Microlise’s industry-leading technology continues to be at the forefront of road safety and efficiency. Its data-driven solutions help businesses bring connectivity to products and operations, to improve efficiency, reduce emissions and lower costs.
Paul Corcoran, CEO at Agent, said: “2026 sees our 20th year in business, and we are already off to a very strong start. We are proud to be working with Ardent and Microlise. Both of these are such impressive, accomplished businesses – a perfect fit for our capabilities, strong industry connections and values-led approach to business.
“We look forward to accelerating their brand and marketing ambitions and working closely with their brilliant teams,” he added.
Helen Boyle, head of strategic growth for utilities at Ardent, said: “We selected Agent owing to their solid sector experience, proven networks and their identical approach to ways of working as us. We can’t wait to see the impact they make”
Sarah Wilkinson, PR and Communications Manager at Microlise, added: “We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Agent over the last 12 months as they supported us on such a wide variety of our communication requirements, such as our renowned annual industry conference and the publication of our first-ever industry report. Renewing our partnership will help keep our place at the forefront of connected transport solutions in the UK,” she continued.
