Pablo appointed by Holland & Barrett as lead creative agency

Health store chain Holland & Barrett (H&B) has appointed Shoreditch-based agency Pablo as its creative and advertising lead.

Pablo will develop brand strategy and campaigns for H&B and will report to group head of brand and marketing Emma Hobbs and Caroline Hipperson, who recently joined the retailer as the its first global chief marketing officer.

Pablo’s multi-channel advertising brief is aimed at communicating Holland & Barrett’s depth of staff knowledge and the unique health and wellness products they sell, says H&B.

Kirstin Ross-MacLeod, Pablo’s joint head of account management, says: “Health and wellness is a crucial aim for everyone and Holland & Barrett have an overwhelming opportunity to support people on their journey to leading a happier and healthier life. From our short time working with the brand we can already sense it’s an amazing business and a sleeping giant. We are very excited about helping them tell their story.”
