Grand Union is launching a branded content business named Hubbub and has hired Anna Watkins, a director at Stream, to be the managing director of the operation.

Watkins has worked in the field of branded content for nearly four years, most recently for Orange, Philips and Sony PlayStation. At Stream, she managed the two-for-one cinema ticket programme, Orange Wednesdays.

Rob Forshaw, a partner at Grand Union, said the decision to launch Hubbub reflected the increasing demand for branded content services.

'It is a growing market that is being serviced by media agencies rather than creative agencies. There is an opportunity to take the lead in this area,' he said.

Britvic, a Grand Union client, is a strong supporter of branded content.
