Media Buzz: Faith PR; The Engine Room Design; Black Eye Project

FAITH PR is moving into a new, larger site as it continues its rapid expansion.

The Yorkshire firm has also announced the appointment of Carl Hopkins as commercial director.

Founded by Stefanie Hopkins in 2007, Faith PR has recently secured major account wins and has outgrown its current Brighouse office.

Now, as it moves into its seventh year, it has moved to the Centre 27 Business Park in Birstall where it will service its growing list of clients, including Oriflame UK Ltd, Yummy Yorkshire, Mia Tui bags, The Personnel Partnership, Catherine Green Textiles, La Cachette Restaurant & Bar, Sous le Nez Restaurant and Fantastic Media.

Hopkins said: “Our move into larger offices at the heart of West Yorkshire marks the start of an exciting new chapter for Faith PR. I am delighted that more and more companies and organisations are choosing to work with us for their PR and communications and our new base and new appointments will allow us to service their needs even more in the future.”

GROWING design firm The Engine Room Design has welcomed a new director as it invests in the business.

The Huddersfield company has appointed Lesley Gulliver as brand strategy director. She is one of the Design Council’s national network of Design Associates. 

The business said it is currently working on some “exciting” Yorkshire-based brand projects to be revealed later this year. 

Darren Evans, founder and design director, said: “Design agencies can’t stand still and can no longer just focus on logos, brochures and websites. We have to apply our design skills strategically to absolutely guarantee competitive advantage for our clients. We’re delighted to have Lesley Gulliver on board who truly bolsters our strategic approach to brand and service design. We’ve worked together previously and we know it’s a winning team.”

THE Black Eye Project has created an integrated marketing campaign for global ice skate blade brands, John Wilson and MK, to increase sales in North America.

The Sheffield-based ad agency’s campaign will form the second phase of a new marketing strategy, which delivered the revitalisation of both brands cementing them as number one and number two in the world and helped smash 2012-13 sales targets.

Supported by a full web and e-shot campaign, print ads will feature in top skating magazines and will highlight blade technology as well as promoting a new Lifetime Guarantee and Six Week Exchange Policy – both of which are firsts in the industry.
