Kwittken & Company, which sold a majority stake to MDC Partners in September, has opened a London office, its first outside the U.S., to service domestic clients abroad and establish a foothold in Europe.
CEO Aaron Kwittken said the move has been a goal of the firm’s for several years, but he waited until “the most opportune conditions presented themselves.”
K&C has tapped Caleb Hulme-Moir, who was running his own London shop, Mana Communications, as managing director of the new office. He headed corporate communications and served as head of media for Cass Business School in six years at the City of London institution.
Kwittken said the European unit will be initially focused on financial services and healthcare work.
K&C, which has a Phoenix office along with its New York base, has been integrated into MDC’s kbs+p division, which Kwittken noted is supporting the expansion.
K&C/London is at 22 Ebury Street in the Pimlico/Belgravia area of the city.
