Following recent account growth, AD Communications, the Surrey-based international marketing and communications agency for the print, publishing and visual communications sectors, has expanded its PR team with the appointment of Brad Girtz. Prior to joining AD Communications, Brad fulfilled a PR management role for mobile app development company Billy Creative. That role followed stints in print, online and broadcast journalism and media production, both in the UK and the US. Brad is a graduate in journalism from Washington State University, Pullman, USA.

At AD Communications Brad will support several key agency accounts, including Canon Europe and Sun Chemical, the latest addition to the agency’s account portfolio.

Director Shireen Shurmer comments: “2012 stands to be a landmark year for AD, with major international exhibitions in our key sectors providing significant communications opportunities for our clients. We’re confident that Brad’s experience in the world of mobile technology will bring fresh perspectives to the AD team, while his track record of writing for print and web - as well as his background in professional journalism - make him a natural fit with the established AD team.”
