A new Birmingham PR agency is playing a starring role in getting print and signs specialists Hollywood Monster's name up in lights.

Barques PR has been appointed by the company to raise its profile in key sectors including sport, commercial property and retail, through a combination of traditional and digital media.

Paul Skipp, director of Barques PR, said: "Hollywood Monster is a great Birmingham success story and we are working hard to make sure that potential new clients across the UK learn more about the high quality services they offer.

"It's a memorable name, a strong brand and they are involved in some very high profile projects which will generate national media exposure. It's an exciting time to be working with Hollywood Monster as they secure major new contracts with household names in retail, construction and other sectors.

"We'll be highlighting their business successes, their investment in high technology and employees, and I'm sure we'll have some fun along the way. It's an innovative company and that is reflected in its attitude towards PR and marketing. Managing director Tim Andrews and his team are happy to embrace all the opportunities presented by digital communications which allows us to be more creative in our thinking."

They are not simply a PR agency but a trusted partner that helps to promote our achievements to existing and potential clients. The team is responsive and proactive in seeking opportunities to raise our profile within the media which, in turn, has led to us winning new business."
