L-R: Chris Lewis (Lewis PR CEO), Giles Peddy (Group MD UK, Lewis PR), Simon Butler, James Smee.

Global communications agency Lewis PR has acquired digital marketing agency Purestone. 

The move quadruples the size of the agency’s London-based digital team and expands its skillset to include e-commerce, email, mobile and app development, as well as supporting its social, SEO and web production services.  

The team will service both UK and global clients, with Purestone adding analytics, audience mapping and robust technical capabilities to Lewis' integrated campaigns. Purestone, founded by Simon Butler and James Smee, will continue to operate independently.
