Overview
Brass Agency is an integrated marketing agency based in Leeds, United Kingdom, which provides marketing and advertising solutions both nationally and globally.

Company History
Brass Agency was known as Brahm Ltd. before it was rebranded as Brass in July, 2010.

Brahm Limited was established in 1983 when it was known as Baxandall Rand Allen Handley McPhail Limited, taking its name from its five founding directors: Mike Baxandall, Clive Rand, Chris Allen, Tony Handley and Keith McPhail. In 2001, a management buy-out commenced within the company, to release the founding partners and pass the management of the business to a younger team who had already invested within it. This planned succession consisted of seven partners, which covered the full spectrum of the business, and was finalised in 2009.

In 2004, Brahm acquired York-based foodservice specialists Teamwork Marketing.

In 2006 the company acquired Adworkshop, a design and marketing agency which based in Farsley, Leeds.

In late 2006, Brahm also acquired Leeds based digital marketing agency Swamp.

In July of 2010, Brahm and Swamp was completed and the combined agencies rebranded as Brass.

In December, 2010, due to the UK goverment's spending review and cut on the public sector, the company was forced to make between 10-20 reduncies from its workforce.
