Hotwire has opened offices in San Francisco, California.

Launched on 15 May, Hotwire San Francisco is the agency's 12th wholly-owned office across Europe, Australia and North America.

Hotwire San Francisco’s team of five employees is anchored by associate director Annette Leach, a transfer from Hotwire London. Leach will report into the agency’s US managing director, Leslie Campisi.

The launch of Hotwire San Francisco allows the agency to bring on-the-ground support to current West Coast clients while also competing for bi-coastal US technology accounts and global agency remits.
