A new marketing "dating agency" aimed at matchmaking marketing
professionals with companies seeking their services has appointed
Lichfield-based consultancy Ian Strachan Communications Ltd to
handle its press relations.
Best Marketing Quotes - based in Birmingham - offers companies
looking for marketing services a free, one-stop selection process
to find the right person or company for the job. Marketing
professionals and agencies can register with Best Marketing Quotes
and buy leads, enabling them to pitch for work that suits their
capabilities.
The new company - headquartered in Brindleyplace - has been
launched by Birmingham businesswoman and web marketing consultant
Clare Mckee, who already runs two successful internet
consultancies. Clare, aged 45, believes companies are crying out
for a no-hassle way of recruiting the right marketing suppliers
without endless searches and recruitment processes. Best Marketing
Quotes will give them a manually selected shortlist of potential
suppliers matched for their capabilities and areas of
expertise.
"If a company is looking for a particular marketing service they
can consult the internet or directories and find so much choice it
ends up being no choice at all. Finding a supplier which precisely
matches their needs is not easy," said Clare Mckee.
"We chose Ian Strachan Communications because of its
wide-ranging experience and contacts and its no-nonsense, common
sense, value-for-money approach to PR. As a new venture we need
rapid awareness in the marketplace and the ability to sustain that
awareness, and Ian Strachan Communications has a track record of
doing just that" she added.
Ian Strachan Communications Ltd was set up 10 years ago by Ian
Strachan, formerly corporate affairs director at Birmingham
commercial vehicle manufacturer LDV and corporate communications
director at Rover Group. Major ISC clients include the SMMT
Industry Forum, Hartshorne Motor Group and Mansell
Construction.
Ian Strachan said, "Best Marketing Quotes is an exciting new
venture and I am delighted to have been given the opportunity to
help the company launch and meet its business goals."
