HP&S shifts gears

Holmes Pollard and Stott Advertising Partners (HP&S), moved into its new, spaciously appointed corporate offices at 240/8, Torrington Avenue, Colombo 7 on Thursday (16). The veteran advertising agency makes this move after over 21 years at Rosmead Place, signalling a new era in the agency’s proud history.

The offices were opened by Chief Guest Leader of the Opposition United National Party and MP Ranil Wickremesinghe at the invitation of HP&S Chairman and MD Pradeep Amirthanayagam in the presence of esteemed clients, staff and a gathering of well-wishers. Marking the opening was the lighting of the traditional oil lamp and religious observances followed by fellowship and a tour of the new facility.

Speaking at the opening Amirthanayagam said, “This move marks a brand new chapter in the history of HP&S. Our perspective for the future of the agency and advertising is one of inclusivity and diversity that mirrors the multi-hued tapestry that is Sri Lanka. Our vision for the clients we service and the brands we have the privilege to manage is to propel them to the top of their respective industries with cutting-edge creatives that produce tangible results – and we will always maintain industry standards and elevate the medium of communication to a new and vibrant platform.”
