Cornwall based creative agencies, Creative Edge and Changing Brands, have joined forces in

a move that combines the talents of two of the county's most experienced design studios.

Changing Brands founder John Lowdon, who has been appointed creative director of Creative

Edge, brings 18 years of experience to the enlarged team. John previously worked with international, national and local businesses on brand and digital communications.

The merger of the two agencies is aimed at creating a broader multi-layered offering in creative

design and web services for existing national and local clients as well as the wider South West

business community.

Director Melinda Rickett said: " The merger of our two design consultancies means that Creative Edge is now positioned as one of the largest and most progressive design agencies in Cornwall. The synergy between Creative Edge and Changing Brands means that our offering is enhanced and strengthened, and both sets of clients can be assured that our deeper resources will provide a greater and more diverse range of creative solutions.ā€

Mr Lowdon added: "Creative Edge have a great reputation for creating inspiring design for some very

loyal clients over the years and Iā€™m really looking forward to working with the talented team and take Creative Edge forward into a new era.ā€
