Public relations and digital agency The PHA Group is hoping to enhance its creative offering.

Public relations and digital agency The PHA Group has hired Mike Chivers as creative director as the agency hopes to enhance its creative capabilities.  

Chivers will work across the agency’s regional hubs in London, Manchester, Leeds and Wokingham. Chivers joins the agency after four years at Edelman London, where he moved from brand team to creative practice, before contributing to the development of a department focusing on storytelling and creative output across social platforms.

“The scope for creative campaigns across our corporate, consumer and reputation practices continues to grow and having Mike on board will ensure work is of the highest standard,” says group managing director, Stuart Skinner. “Taken together with our growing digital and social expertise, creative will allow us to provide a truly end-to-end solution for clients across the board.

“It’s a very exciting development for the agency and will power the next phase of growth this year.”

Chivers says: “The PHA Group provides a unique opportunity; their teams are so smart and already deliver outstanding results for clients, so this is an opportunity to bolster their creative offering as they grow.”
