Long-established Derby agencies Balls2 Marketing and Koobr, are merging to create a super agency under ‘The Koobr Group’ umbrella.
With both agencies already working in strategic partnership, the merger is set to combine the strengths of both companies, forming a full-service agency that will serve clients across the East Midlands and beyond with next-level marketing, PR and digital expertise.
Craig Barker, Director and Founder of Koobr, and Katie Bregazzi, Director at Balls2 Marketing, will lead the new entity, bringing together their vast experience and vision. The founders of Balls2 Marketing, Sarah and Andy Ball, will continue to step back from daily operations and remain involved in strategy.
Craig Barker said: “This union is the culmination of years of experience, expertise and collaboration, and we are excited to move forward as a united team. By joining forces in this new chapter, we are creating a powerhouse agency that will provide even greater value to our clients and the local community across the East Midlands and further afield.”
The merger is expected to have a positive impact in Derby. The group will not only create new job opportunities, but also contribute to driving growth across the local business arena.
Sarah Ball said: “After a hugely successful collaboration, this is a perfect opportunity to combine the strengths of the two companies on a formal basis. I am looking forward to the opportunities this will bring to the people that work at both agencies, the clients and the wider community.”
