Andrew Bloch

I am a consultant in the marketing services industry. My portfolio includes NED, board advisory, consultancy and project roles for a range of businesses and agencies in the marketing services sector. NED/Board Adviser I work with business leaders to help them achieve their goals and overcome their challenges. I work with organisations of all sizes who want to experience growth, whether they need to respond to a particular market challenge, want to crack a marketing campaign or are looking to create new business opportunities. Agency Performance and Growth I help marketing services agencies improve their performance and maximise their growth by helping them unlock their true potential. I work with agency founders and senior management teams to identify the issues which are preventing maximum agency performance and develop practical steps for improvement. M&A I advise buy-side clients who are looking to make strategic acquisitions in the marketing services area. I source off-market, under the radar assets – the best business in the world, who don’t necessarily have a ‘For Sale’ sign above their door. On the sell-side of the business, I advise marketing services agencies who are looking for an exit, and help them get the best possible deal. Marketing and PR Consultancy I work with businesses on a project or interim basis to help crack their marketing challenge and create great work by helping them find the best agencies and people to meet their requirements whatever the discipline. I work with companies to set up their agency relationships to ensure they get the most out of them, and when required, I stay involved to see the job through. Talent Management and Brand Endorsements I help link celebrities, influencers and content creators with brands. I find and secure the best talent for your business to partner with. I'll negotiate the fee, draw up the contract, help agree the creative, and if required, oversee the campaign to ensure it delivers.

I co-founded Frank PR, one of the UK’s most respected and award-winning agencies. In 2020, I stepped down from my day-to-day role as Managing Partner of the agency but remained involved as a shareholder until we sold the business to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) in 2024. Now, I cheer the agency on from the sidelines as it continues to evolve into its next era. Frank has represented some of the nation’s best-known brands, including Aldi, Burger King, Coca-Cola, Compare the Market, Deliveroo, Direct Line, Disney, EA Games, Paddy Power, Rimmel, and Weetabix. Frank is one of the industry’s most decorated agencies, responsible for some of its most famous campaigns, and is the only agency to have been named Agency of the Year three times by Marketing Magazine. In 2007, I helped facilitate the sale of Frank to Australian marketing services firm Enero (ASX:EGG). A subsequent deal in 2012 saw a proportion of equity return to the management team. In 2021, the Frank management team completed an MBO, returning Frank to a fully independent business. In 2024, the business was sold again, this time to a Frank EOT.
