Clark and Lamb first met in the Harrods press office a decade ago at the beginning of their careers. Key projects they worked on together included the global launch of Pradasphere and the opening of the world’s largest shoe department, Shoe Heaven.
The launch of Evolve marks a reunion that allows the two to utilize their industry expertise “to build upon what we have achieved thus far, whilst scaling to a new level,” Lamb said.
The duo said the newly extended combined teams will enable them to take on more international projects, pursue new sectors and broaden their collective impact. For example, the firm’s first project was to work with Aston Martin F1 on talent attendance and relations for the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Lamb said Evolve prioritizes building a dynamic, proactive strategy for storytelling that caters to multiple audiences and markets simultaneously.
“Whether positioning our clients holistically within in-depth features or placing products onto brand-relevant talent at major red carpet events, we are experts at traversing the nuanced intersection of multiple industries, sectors and key stakeholders,” added Lamb, whose success stories included helping his client Sauvereign land a high-profile placement on Cillian Murphy the night he won an Oscar.
In addition to offering services across public relations, brand development, events and social media, Evolve operates a talent arm, with clients including Maurice Kamara of The People Gallery, Jenee Naylor, Karen Blanchard, The Yusufs, Nneka Michel, Priscilla Evangelista, Carolyn Gray and Chee Smalls.
