Ardent Appoints Agent as Marketing Partner to Support UK Growth Plans

Leading London land, consents and engagement consultancy, Ardent, which also has other offices across the UK and Ireland, has announced the appointment of Agent as its new marketing partner.

Ardent, which provides a range of services for some of the most significant infrastructure and regeneration projects across the country and in Ireland, appointed Agent following a competitive pitch process in which the agency displayed their strong sector experience and industry connections.

The consultancy has grown considerably in recent years, including recently appointing Helen Boyle as Head of Strategic Growth for Utilities and expanding the internal marketing team, with whom Agent will work closely moving forward.

Agent is a full-service, B-Corp accredited marketing agency with studios in Manchester and Liverpool. The agency, which turns 20 years old in 2026, supports an array of national clients in the clean energy, logistics, infrastructure and good growth space, offering a wealth of relevant experience to support Ardent’s ambitious growth plans.

Its team will support the consultancy with integrated marketing services, led by detailed strategy and insight – further establishing its brand, increasing its networks and raising its profile and authority amongst key target audiences.

Jon Stott, Managing Director at Ardent, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Agent as our marketing partner. Our growth over the last two years has been significant as we are supporting some of the country’s most prominent infrastructure projects and this appointment will support that growth.

“We selected Agent owing to their solid sector experience, proven networks and their strong, values-led approach to business. We can’t wait to see them make an impact on our business, our brand and our audiences,” he continued.

Paul Corcoran, CEO at Agent, said: “We are over the moon to be working with Ardent. It is such an impressive business and a perfect fit for our capabilities coupled with our strong industry and political connections in the sector.

“We are great fit for each other. Both companies are led by a strong set of values, and we look forward to accelerating Ardent’s brand and marketing ambitions and working closely with their conscientious team,” he added.
