THERE is a new face at Worcestershire-based creative agency Drp.

Annalisa Holmes has joined the Hartlebury-based firm as the new account director, specially focused on Drp's client, the automotive giant Jaguar Land Rover.

In the role she will help supercharge the organisation’s internal and external communications strategies as part of the wider account team. Before joining Drp, Ms Holmes worked in commercial radio for more than 13 years, with her last role being managing director for Rugby FM in Warwickshire. There she developed key accounts, helping clients communicate their key messages on both broadcast and digital platforms.

“I’m so grateful for this opportunity to join the creative team at Drp," she said.

"It’s a really exciting time for JLR. They’re exploring driverless cars, electric vehicles, infotainment tech among many other fantastic innovations. I can’t wait to help one of the world’s most recognisable brands make itself heard.”

Sara Lyddy, comms account director at Drp, added: “We’re delighted to have Annalisa on board. She has fantastic experience and I’m sure that she will benefit not only the JLR team but also bring valuable skills to the wider drp offering”.
