RBH

What RBH does

RBH (legal entity Rees Bradley Hepburn Ltd.) is a UK-based creative-first marketing communications agency founded in 1995 by Debra Hepburn and Tim Rees, headquartered in Meriden, West Midlands. The agency delivers integrated marketing services across eight practices: marketing strategy, digital marketing, PR communications, web development, brand and creative, campaign management, reporting and insights, and social media. Its proprietary Creative-first Framework (Brief, Challenge, Insight Development, Determination, Solution, Action) is positioned as the underlying methodology that distinguishes its work from conventional agencies, with the agency emphasising that creativity underpins every discipline including SEO and digital rather than being a bolt-on creative layer.

The underlying technology stack is entirely third-party — HubSpot for CRM and marketing automation, Vimeo for video hosting, Google Analytics and Tag Manager for web analytics, and Whois Data for optimisation — with no proprietary platform disclosed. RBH operates a wholly-owned subsidiary, Carrisma Digital Communications Limited, extending its digital communications footprint. In 2025, the founders sold their controlling shares to an Employee Ownership Trust, making the firm 100% employee-owned. The agency markets itself through organic social (LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Threads), a content blog, and the Inside Voices podcast on YouTube and Spotify.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services priced in GBP via custom Specification Documents, with billing options including advance payment, completion payment, or phased invoicing on Net 30-day terms. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, direct-to-client via website enquiry, telephone, and referral, with no channel partner or reseller model. Named clients span automotive (Suzuki, Jaguar Land Rover, Institute of the Motor Industry), aviation (Flybe, Birmingham Airport), fashion and lingerie (Wacoal, Fantasie, Freya), electric vehicle charging (Andersen EV), charity and accessibility (Nerve Tumours UK, RDAC, NCAT), beverage (Church End Brewery), and subscription (BUCKT). Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
