AMBITIOUS closes financial year with major new client wins and industry recognition
Bristol‑based strategic communications consultancy AMBITIOUS has closed its financial year with a series of recent high‑profile client wins across education, financial services, mobility and the built environment.
Among the new partnerships, AMBITIOUS has secured a contract with CGS a Cambridge‑based international education group operating independent schools and colleges across the UK, US, China and Malaysia. The brief will support the group’s strategic communications and reputation priorities across multiple markets.
In financial and mobility services, AMBITIOUS was appointed following a competitive pitch to deliver a strategic communications brief for BNP Paribas Arval UK, an industry leader in full-service vehicle leasing and mobility solutions. Leasing over 200,000 vehicles in the UK. Arval supports corporates, SMEs and individuals to manage fleets and accelerate the transition to more sustainable mobility. AMBITIOUS will provide strategic communications support in the UK market.
Reflecting its strength in placemaking and regeneration, AMBITIOUS is also working at the heart of Bristol’s once‑in‑a‑generation transformation. The agency has secured a brief with Kinrise to support the communications around the regeneration of Canon’s Wharf, the Grade II listed waterfront estate into a low‑carbon, design‑led workplace, bringing energy, culture and community back to Bristol’s Harbourside.
In addition, AMBITIOUS has significantly expanded its relationship with Mira, the UK‑based bathroom and showering manufacturer. Initially appointed in 2025, the agency has grown its remit following successful work in the installer market, expanding into the specifier market and adding a new corporate affairs brief.
AMBITIOUS has cemented its position as a UK Top 150 Consultancy in May 2026 with the release of PR Week’s 2026 agency rankings. It was also recognised as being the 26th highest revenue agency outside of London and ranked number 32 in the country for its work in b2b communications and in financial and corporate communications.
The momentum comes at a time when the agency has also achieved B Corp certification and made a significant investment in artificial intelligence training and capability across the business, as part of a broader focus on strengthening senior counsel and delivery.
Laura Lear, Managing Director at AMBITIOUS, said: “Over the past year we’ve been very deliberate about how we build the next phase of the agency. Achieving B Corp certification was an important milestone, sitting alongside substantial investment in AI training and capability across the business. That work has been about future‑
Alongside its client wins, AMBITIOUS has made a series of senior internal appointments to strengthen leadership and delivery capacity across the business. Liam Britnell has been promoted to Associate Director, Chloe Tonkin steps into the role of Client Services Lead and Amy Ferrier has been promoted to Head of Production; while Zoe Bagnall and Luke Allsop have both been promoted to Senior Consultant. Nomalanga Tshuma has also joined the agency as Office Manager. The moves reflect AMBITIOUS’s focus on developing talent from within as it supports increasingly complex client briefs.
AMBITIOUS by name and by nature, we are a PR led communications agency that delivers integrated strategic communications - online, offline and everywhere in-between. Proud to be crowned winners of The Drum Magazine's RAR Best PR Agency of the Year.
