In its first acquisition in its eight-year history, Redhill has acquired Creative Consulting Group, a Hong Kong based marketing and public relations firm.

“We’re excited to welcome the Creative Consulting Group team to Redhill – we’ve long admired their excellent work and, together, built a strong working relationship over the past two years,” said Jacob Puthenparambil, the chief executive officer of Redhill.

“They bring a high-quality team in Hong Kong and Greater China region and regional experience,” he added, “as we further our mission to be a global agency with Asian roots.”

Founded in 2014, Redhill is an Asia-origin full-service communications agency with around 110 employees. The addition of Creative Consulting Group now lifts Redhill’s headcount to around 150, and expands its capabilities in sectors including banking & finance, real estate, professional services, lifestyle, and technology.

Among the clients Creative Consulting Group serves are major brands such as Bang & Olufsen, Barings, Credit Suisse, Cushman & Wakefield, Bank of Singapore, JP Morgan, Cyberport, and UBS.

Commenting on the joining of forces, Creative Consulting Group founder Belinda Chan said: “We are thrilled to join the fast-growing Redhill family and are looking forward to incorporate a wider spectrum of clients with our diversified expertise. We have been in Hong Kong for 20 years and the team is ready to embark on a fuller professional journey and a promising breakthrough in our careers.”
