Media Mix: Uniform wins museum jobs; Kangaroo leaps at Osiris contract

LIVERPOOL design agency Uniform has completed two projects for London museums.

It has produced the Museum of London’s (MoL) first interactive annual review and the Natural History Museum’s (NHM) annual and science reviews.

Uniform said the MoL digital review had allowed the museum to reach 10 times the readership at a reduced cost while improving usage through use of film and high-profile partner weblinks.

MoL’s corporate business planner, Rachel Williams said: “We’re thrilled with the end result. This isn’t simply a case of taking a hard copy version online. The agency took the brief of creating a fully functioning digital annual review, capitalising on the material and links to our partners.

“It was really exciting to do something completely different to what had been done before and going down the digital route allowed us to incorporate film and animation as well as creating something really visually appealing.”

SUBSEA engineering company Osiris Marine Services has appointed Kangaroo Media to handle its public relations.

Liverpool and Manchester-based Kangaroo is providing PR support on a retained basis, focusing on media relations in the niche offshore wind farm sector using a mix of traditional and digital PR. 
The firm will also provide event management services and design exhibition materials for the industry events.

Osiris, based in Keighley, West Yorkshire, specialises in providing subsea engineering and commercial diving services at offshore wind farms in the UK and overseas.

Sheena Mackenzie, Kangaroo’s managing director, said: “The knowledge Kangaroo Media has gained of the subsea engineering and offshore wind energy sector puts us in very good stead to deliver an effective PR service.

“We have raised brand recognition for Osiris with an intensive SEO campaign and now it is time to raise the profile of the organisation within their industry. We are looking to develop further in the Offshore Wind sector.”
