We are delighted to announce that Felicity Kelly, Managing Director of Duttons Design will be joining the Board of Bristol Media in January 2011.

Felicity is an Economics graduate from UCL, with a broad marketing services background and specialism in corporate brands.  She started her career in PR, before moving into client side marketing with British Airways, responsible for International markets and premium brands, including the launch of Club World and then First Class brands. She eventually returned to consultancy, joining brand consultancy Brand Union (then Enterprise IG) as a senior consultant, specialising in Brand Identity and Corporate Change programmes.

A few years later Felicity jumped off the career ladder, running her own agency for eight years before a strategic merger and eventual sale to the WPP Group, after which she retired to the calm of the Somerset levels.  After a breather, she joined Dutton Merrifield as caretaker Managing Director in 2004, went through a sale, short lived merger, and subsequent management buyout, to form Duttons in January 2008.

Paul Appleby, Chair of Bristol Media said: We are thrilled that Felicity will be joining the Board; those of you who know Felicity will appreciate her energy, experience in the sector, and willingness to get involved in promoting the creative industries in the area. She also brings great experience in brand management in the sustainable sector, which is a vital part of Bristol’s global image.

“I’m very excited to be working with Bristol Media,” commented Felicity, “it’s a really dynamic organisation, and continually comes up with ways to deliver tangible, practical value to members.  I look forward to being involved in generating ideas and events to suit the needs of Bristol’s vibrant design industry.”

Duttons is one of the South West’s leading brand agencies, with a 20 year+ track record of effectiveness.
