How it all started
It all started in the early 2000s when we spotted a gap in the market for a dedicated digital PR agency for the construction sector. We set up a small team, with backgrounds in B2B digital, journalism, copywriting and design, based in South Yorkshire and began working with a number of exciting construction brands. Over the last two decades we have worked with numerous regional, national and international brands, who were looking for help and support with raising brand awareness and generating more sales leads.
As we expanded, we needed larger premises and relocated our team to Fox Valley Business Park in Stocksbridge, Sheffield. This has allowed us to grow even further as a construction marketing agency.
Our business has gone from strength to strength over the years and, even though we remain in the heart of industrial South Yorkshire, we work with clients both in the UK and internationally.
As many of our manufacturing clients have expanded their businesses overseas, we became their dedicated PR partner in new territories such as India, China, Australia and the US as well as numerous European countries. We are proud to have been part of their journey and have established many successful international partnerships with translation agencies and overseas media and influencers.
Over two decades later, we still remain true to our core values of writing good quality content, building long term relationships with the media and clients and delivering outstanding results.
Our values
Responsiveness
We are responsive. Clients can count on us to be enthusiastic, to listen and then get the job done. We can work to deadlines, even when it means a whole team effort to meet the brief. Our ethos revolves around helping our clients to get where they want to be. We go the extra mile for clients and it shows.
Accuracy
We set ourselves high standards and aim high to achieve them. By priding ourselves on accuracy in the content we generate, the research we do and the care and attention we devote to getting it right. We are naturally curious, have an in-depth understanding of B2B PR for industry and know the right questions to ask. We write authentic, dynamic content and are flexible to adapt our style to websites, local press, trade articles or blog sites.
Teamworking
Our people are our greatest asset – it may sound like a cliché but without them there would be nothing! We don’t expect anyone to work in isolation. In fact, we understand the best way to get results is by working together. That’s why we have an open-door policy, so our staff at any level can come forward with ideas or let us know if they are struggling with anything and need help. Our team is as strong as it is because of everyone pulling together, working to achieve the best for our clients.
Honesty
We expect honesty and integrity from the start. No one should need to cover their tracks. Our staff are supported to do their roles and will receive internal or external training or mentorship if this is required. We expect our people to take ownership of their tasks. It’s all about empowering them to achieve their best for our clients and themselves, whilst operating with transparency.
Give great advice
We pride ourselves on giving great advice. Whether that be to clients, colleagues, business contacts or those we mentor through school or colleges. This comes from expertise – we have over 20 years’ experience working in B2B digital PR for manufacturing and construction clients, combined with our genuine interest, love and passion for the PR and marketing sector and our clients’ businesses.
Build relationships
A core foundation of our business is based on building strong and lasting relationships with clients, suppliers, media, influencers and business contacts. We work closely with all our contacts to build long term relationships based on trust.
