Former Ogilvy staffer launches new PR agency Couch

Couch, a new integrated marketing and communications agency, has been established in London's Tech City this month by PR sector veterans.

The new company has been established by Ash Rishi, formerly of Ogilvy and Mather's healthcare division, in partnership with former government agency employee Katie Rishi.

Couch's business model involves providing every type of marketing service under one roof, including strategy and planning, branding and creative design, mobile marketing, digital marketing and PR.

The founding partners will bring more than a decade of experience working with multinational pharmaceutical companies, government agencies and private businesses – including Pfizer, Shire, Bristol-Myers Squibb and L'Oreal – to their new roles.

Mr Rishi said: "Our people have a proven record across all aspects of marketing and with brands of all sizes. We know what gets results and we're going to make it work for our clients."

Couch has already confirmed that it will be working with large pharmaceutical and blue-chip companies and boasts a proven track record with brands of all sizes.
