Our Review of 2019
January
In January, after two months of hard work from our web and design and SEO team, the new Sheffcare website went live! We worked closely alongside Sheffcare to design and build a new website that was more engaging, easy to navigate and captured what was unique about each of its 10 care homes. Our client was thrilled with the finished results and commented that the website looks amazing and thanked us for all of the time and effort we put in to it. A great start to the year!
February
During Q1 we started working with Sheffield City Region to maximise awareness at MIPIM 2019, the world’s leading property and real estate exhibition, held in Paris. The client hosted a series of events with keynote speakers from across the housing and property development sectors, which attracted a great deal of interest from investors and media.
March
Rahul Mandal, the 2018 Great British Bake-Off winner, visited our client BG Engineering’s stand at the Get up to Speed event at Magna Science Adventure Centre in South Yorkshire. The event was a great opportunity for our client to showcase the wide range of career opportunities available in engineering for young people.

We revealed our new website, aimed at making it easier for companies in the construction and manufacturing sector to choose innovative PR and content marketing strategies.
