A female entrepreneur has launched the very first PR agency to
be based in Ilkeston, Derbyshire.
The new agency to be named Poppy PR is the brainchild of 24-year
old Tina Clough, who is a firm believer in bringing new enterprise
to the area, in a bid to keep the local economy alive.
Tina Clough, who has a firm grounding in both journalism and PR
said, "Despite the fragility of the economic climate, the PR
industry has been surprisingly resilient.
"This is partly down to the fact that many businesses are
realising that it is vital to market themselves effectively in a
bid to stay one step ahead of their competitors.
"I grew up in the local area and so it made sense to start a PR
agency in my hometown. Although we have clients throughout the UK
in varying sectors, I hope that we will attract more local
businesses seeking PR work.
Dedicated to creating communications campaigns with clout, Poppy
PR will offer a variety of packages with mainstream PR, online PR
and SEO in mind.
Specialising in numerous industry sectors, the agency aims to
provide public relations services to those in the fashion industry,
homes and gardens sector, health and safety sector, the
entertainment industries, leisure markets and to those in the
property sector.
The agency's Derbyshire PR team has so far successfully executed
major press campaigns securing coverage in tabloid newspapers, in
the broadsheets, on national and regional radio programmes, and in
numerous trade titles where industry knowledge is the key to
success.
Tina who has previously worked at agency's across the East
Midlands, added, "Poppy PR will offer press release production,
media relationship management, full SEO campaigns, internal
communications, social media solutions and event organisation on
request.
"So far we have been working mainly on recommendations as we
take an active interest in our clients and their future business
prospects. I feel that this personal approach is certainly
one of our unique selling points."
