COMMUNICATIONS agency Adams Creative has completed its acquisition of Brooker and How marketing and design agency in Hastings.

The two companies now represent one of the largest independent full service communications consultancies in the South East.

Mike Adams, the managing director of the Maidstone-based agency, said: "Our businesses are very similar in culture, in ambition and in standards. Together, we can drive the business a lot faster, while our combined specialisations give us access to a bigger audience of potential business."
