The agency has been briefed to help promote the city and its attractions after running a press campaign for Festivals in Brighton throughout May.

The team will focus on the launch of the Green Map in the city in September which highlights all the best green businesses around the city and also the varied boutique shopping experiences on offer in the north and south lanes.

Phoebe Oliver, director of Oliver Relations, said: "We are incredibly excited about working with the city’s tourist board and putting our extensive knowledge of this cosmopolitan resort to use, to maintain and develop Brighton’s reputation as a unique and internationally renowned tourist destination.

"The VisitBrighton team is brilliant to work with and is open to exploring unusual angles for press and we collectively understand the unique character of the city which I think helps us enormously."
