Celebrating Our Leadership Team: A New Chapter for TLH
As we begin an exciting new chapter as part of the Fifteen Marketing Group, we’re proud to recognise the individuals who’ve played a key role in shaping TLH Marketing’s journey to this point.
With over three decades of combined experience at TLH, Carly Awde, Matthew Fairclough and Matt Burns have each played an instrumental role in building the agency we are today.
Their creativity, dedication and deep commitment to both clients and colleagues have been central to our success, helping us grow from a small, close-knit team into a full-service agency working with brands across the UK and beyond.
From leading landmark campaigns to nurturing client relationships and navigating change with confidence, their leadership has never been more valuable than it is now.
We’re proud to officially recognise their contributions with new leadership roles that reflect the responsibility and trust they already carry every day:
Carly Awde – Project Delivery Director
Matthew Fairclough – Client Services Director
Matt Burns – Technical Director
A Commitment to Continuity
These new titles aren’t about changing direction, they’re about strengthening the foundation that’s already in place. Carly, Matthew and Matt have long been central to the way we work, the relationships we build and the results we deliver.
Formalising their leadership roles is a natural step that reflects the trust they’ve earned from both our clients and our team. For those who know TLH, this move brings reassurance: the same experienced people are here, continuing to lead with the same passion, expertise and integrity. It also opens up new space for each of them to focus, grow, and help shape the next phase of our journey.
Stronger Together with Fifteen
Joining the Fifteen family has brought new energy and opportunity to TLH, but it’s also grounded in something deeply familiar. Like us, Fifteen is committed to delivering great work, nurturing long-term client relationships and supporting its people to thrive.
This alignment means that while we continue to operate with the independence and identity our clients know, we now do so with the added benefit of wider collaboration, broader expertise and a stronger support network. For our clients, that means even more capability. For our team, it means an even greater opportunity. And for TLH, it means growth with purpose.
Looking Ahead
While this is a time to celebrate where we’ve come from, it’s also an exciting moment to look ahead. With the right people in place and the backing of a supportive group, we’re more focused than ever on delivering exceptional work, growing meaningful partnerships, and evolving in ways that stay true to who we are. We’re proud of the team behind TLH, past, present, and future, and we’re excited to continue building something even stronger, together.
Congratulations Carly, Matthew and Matt.
