Lewis Communications will lose at least four senior figures in the next few months as the agency faces replacing a raft of staff.

Drew Benvie, the firm’s blogging and social media expert, is joining Hotwire in a similar role.

Michael Gonzalez, head of international media strategy is leaving the company for an as-yet unknown role.

Marketing manager David Cunningham is moving to corporate information firm Williams Lea in the new role of UK head of external comms.

Lewis’ Octane agency will also lose account director Gillian Salvage.

At the same time Lewis is on the verge of hiring two associate directors (one leading sector journalist and a corporate specialist from a rival agency).
