Punch Creative has officially rebranded as Punch Hospitality, establishing itself, it claims, as Yorkshire’s only marketing agency dedicated exclusively to the hospitality sector in the process.
Since founding in 2007, Leeds-based Punch has evolved from a design-for-print agency into a full-service, integrated market leader.
Today, the agency has an extensive portfolio of hospitality clients, including IHG brands like Hotel Indigo and Holiday Inn, Travelex, Hilton, Clermont Hotel Group, and LGH, increasing its hospitality client base by 30% since 2023.
The rebrand includes a refreshed new website and bold brand persona, which the agency said refelct its commitment to delivering revenue-growth-focused marketing solutions tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities of the hospitality industry.
Punch Hospitality is driven by a team of industry experts, including commercial director Louise Wright, who has over 20 years of experience leading sales and marketing teams for prominent hotel groups such as Splendid Hospitality Group, De Vere, Thistle Hotels, Cedar Court, and Q Hotels.
Adding to its leadership, Punch has appointed Malcolm Brechin as development director. With a proven track record across sectors, Malcolm has developed award-winning digital innovations for clients including the NHS, that have earned recognition in the Tussell Tech Top 200 UK companies. His focus will be on building long-term client partnerships and driving the agency’s strategic growth.
“Malcolm’s ability to transform challenges into opportunities makes him an invaluable addition to the team,” said Wright. “His expertise ensures we not only remain at the forefront of digital transformation but deliver results that truly matter for our clients.”
Punch Hospitality stands apart with its consultative approach, uncovering opportunities that drive tangible revenue growth for clients.
“We’re not just rebranding. We’re reshaping the way hospitality businesses think about marketing,” said Richard Lowes, creative director and founder. “Our focus is on driving measurable growth and helping our clients thrive in an evolving industry.”
Punch Hospitality aims to set the standard for integrated marketing in the hospitality sector, helping businesses adapt, innovate, increase revenue, and excel in a competitive market.
