Media Mix: Clare Comms; Smith & Smith; Signature, JAM & more

NORTH West PR firm Clare Communications is toasting a hat-trick of new client wins – and says it didn’t have to pitch once.
The Salford-firm’s new clients are: Kemper System, a waterproofing specialist in Warrington; Scottish generator company Dieselec Thistle and Sheffield recruitment company, Linear.
The business came to Clare via referral or the resumption of a relationship with a previous client.
Director Clare Moody said: “We have an extremely loyal client base and often get referrals from former clients or people we’ve worked with along the way. To me, that’s the best way to get business – no big pitch promises and no PR fluff, just the honest opinion of people we’ve already worked with.”
