New Appointment Follows Franklin Rae Acquisition

Broadcasting and content industry PR agency Franklin Rae has been acquired by Tessa Laws, founder of media law firm newlawslegal.
Sadie Groom, Managing Director of Bubble & Squeak and Silver Lining Communications will add the management of Franklin Rae to her current roles.
Tessa Laws says: "Franklin Rae is one of the biggest names in PR in the broadcasting and content industry. With shared contacts, clients and objectives in the industry, it seemed a perfect fit for me to bring Franklin Rae alongside newlawslegal. Working alongside Sadie and her companies there are some great synergies and I'm very excited about the prospect of fuelling the further growth of Franklin Rae, such a market-leading brand."
Bubble & Squeak is a 13-year-old PR agency focusing on the technology and services side of the broadcast industry. Silver Lining Communications was founded in 2012 to provide marketing services and consumer technology PR.
Sadie Groom will manage all three companies and will work on their growth and strategic plans, as well as directly with all the clients and press.
Jill Franklin, who founded Franklin Rae in 2003, says: "I'm delighted that Tessa is backing Franklin Rae's next phase of development and that Sadie Groom has been appointed to take the helm. Sadie has terrific industry experience and definitely has got what it takes to drive the company forward. I'm looking forward to contributing all I can to Franklin Rae's strategic development both in the UK and internationally."
Mike Wallwork, COO of JGG says: "The decision to exit PR was driven by our strategic view of the Group moving forward and also our acknowledgement that JGG was unlikely to be able to add sufficient value to Franklin Rae as a company in the market. We are delighted that the FR brand has such an exciting new home from which it can grow and prosper."
