LONDON - Phil Nunn, Amy Lennox and Simon Timlett have launched a new media planning agency, Trinity Communications, with backing from direct agency Kitcatt Nohr and with retailer New Look as a founding client.

Trinity's other clients include shirt makers Charles Tyrwhitt and US technology company Sling Media. It is positioned as a digital, brand and direct media planning specialist.

Plans to start the agency were announced back in April when the former OMD directors -- Amy Lennox, digital chief, and Phil Nunn, managing partner of Manning Gottlieb OMD -- left their roles to launch the start-up.

Simon Timlett, the former Optimedia and Brand Connection director, was announced as the third partner in the company last month.

Nunn said: "There was a clear gap in the market for a strategic communications planning agency which understood digital, brand and direct. Trinity Communications has all three skills at the centre of its business."

Marc Nohr, managing partner of Kitcatt Nohr, and Jeremy Shaw, its partner and chairman, will join the board of Trinity.

They said: "Talent like this doesn't come around very often and we recognised the Trinity proposition was very timely. We're proud to be investors and we look forward to Trinity making an impact with clients and the industry alike."

Trinity will be based at the Soho offices of advertising agency Miles Calcraft Briginshaw Duffy, however MCBD does not hold a financial interest in the new agency.
