DS.Emotion acquires HC Advertising and moves London base

DS.Emotion has acquired London-based property and place marketing specialist HC Advertising.

HC was established four years ago by Laura Carroll, who will now become managing director of DS.Emotion’s London operation, which will now move to new studios in Victoria.

HC has worked with the likes of Land Securities, Lambert Smith Hampton and DTZ.

Carroll said: “Becoming part of DS.Emotion is an exciting and natural progression for me to fulfil my ambitions of delivering class leading brand, placemaking and property marketing.”

Matt Button, founding director at Leeds-based DS.Emotion, added: “We are impressed by what Laura has achieved with her agency from establishing it four years ago and love her work ethic. The benefits to both of us were clear from our very early discussions. We think Laura has a lot to bring to DS.Emotion and will be a great figurehead for our London studio. She will build an even stronger team around her to ensure we continue to deliver best in class creative services to our clients.”
