FFWD and Eclipse Communications join forces to lead a new era in corporate communications
The Eclipse Communications Group of Companies is excited to announce that Devlin Brown is rejoining Eclipse as Managing Partner to lead its revamped corporate division, FFWD Eclipse. Devlin returns after five years, in which time he launched and grew a successful communications consultancy and honed his strategic business acumen.
He brings significant senior strategy and oversight with a proven track record and reputation of providing the kind of trusted counsel that C-suites need, strengthening the agency’s ability to continue delivering exceptional results for its clients.
‘It’s business as usual in the Eclipse Communications Corporate division, but with the added benefit of Devlin’s heavyweight experience and strategic insight guiding the business into its next chapter as FFWD Eclipse,’ said Steve Powell, CEO of Eclipse Communications. ‘We’re committed to growing the business, letting our team’s talent shine and to making a positive impact in the businesses of our clients.’
‘I return to Eclipse after a highly successful, fast-paced and dynamic five years. I am thrilled to take on the Managing Partner role at FFWD Eclipse, with a priority being the growth of the agency’s staff, client base and service offering,’ says Brown. ‘This new chapter is all about agility, growth, supporting clients and building on the strong foundation and reputation of a business founded by Jacki McEwen-Powell more than two decades ago.’
McEwen-Powell echoes the sentiment. ‘Before I stepped back from running the business, Devlin and I worked incredibly well together and I got to know him as a communicator and as a person. I have full confidence in his ability to bring his flair and energy to FFWD Eclipse to ignite a new phase of growth,’ she said.
