Meanwhile, Brazen, a Manchester-based consumer communications agency, makes a strategic shift to an ‘Employee Ownership Trust’ model, transferring 85% of shares to its employees. Founders Nina and Tom Webb will stay on as CEO and operations director, respectively.
This model shift aims to enhance employee engagement and productivity, fostering a more democratic workplace wherein employees contribute significantly to decision-making.

Brazen continues to provide high-quality PR services to its clients under its new leadership structure.
