Rebranding
- Brevia is derived from the Latin verb 'to abbreviate' - apparently reflecting the agency's ethos of being straight-talking, quick and precise. Brevia MD David Beamer said: 'I expected to be presented with a shortlist of London streets or squares, but Figtree felt a descriptive name was the right choice.'[1]
