Alex has recently been part of the management team which has bought the agency back from Enero.Frank was originally bought by Photon for just over £8m but over the next 5 years Frank's management hit various incentive targets and the final amount the company was bought for was about £20m.It's been reported that the management team bought Frank back for just shy of a million pounds.Frank had a fee income of about £4.8 million in 2020, down a bit compared to 2019 but bear in mind Q 2 of 2020 COVID happened. The management team of Frank tells me Frank has returned to growth.Thanks to the PRCA for sponsoring the PRmoment Podcast.Don't forget the final entry deadline for the PRmoment Awards is on March 26, do take a look at the PRmoment Awards website for all the details.2 mins Who owns Frank now and why did Alex, Graham Goodkind and Andrew Bloch decide to buy the agency back?3 mins On the face of it's quite a deal!

Alex Grier, Managing Partner of Frank PR on The PRmoment Podcast

Frank’s joint managing partners Andrew Bloch and Alex Grier join the Echo Chamber to look back at how the agency has evolved in its first 18 years, their trademarked 'talkability' proposition, what creativity means now, and the best brand campaigns. NB: At the time of recording, Frank declined to comment on the BrewDog/Scofflaw case.
