bcsAgency works with Dains on new branding

MARKETING and communications agency, bcsAgency, has worked with Midlands accountants Dains to give the firm a new brand identity and redevelop its web assets.
 
bcsAgency developed brand identity workshops, designed a new website, together with marketing literature and new wall and art décor at the Dains Derby and Birmingham offices.
 
Murray Carmichael-Smith, director of bcsAgency said: “We understood from our initial meetings with Dains that the company wasn’t ‘just another’ firm of accountants; it has a very modern, forward-thinking attitude towards its clients – attributes that are very refreshing when it comes to developing all aspects of the Dains brand.
 
“We’ve taken these characteristics and woven them through the new Dains website to develop a fresh, exciting, outward-facing brand that we think sets the company apart from its competitors.”
 
Richard McNeily, Business Development Partner at Dains, which has six offices in the Midlands, said: “We’re really pleased to be working with the bcsAgency. Their professionalism and enthusiasm shone through immediately, and we’re delighted to unveil our new brand to the world.
 
“Often the accountancy profession has been accused of being ‘stuffy’ or dull – working with bcsAgency, we’re out to bust this myth and give our clients a stimulating new way of accessing what we’re all about.  It’s a very exciting time for us and we’d like to thank bcsAgency for helping the business move onto the next level.”

The new appointment is the latest in a line of client wins by bcsAgency, including Opinio Group, Crowdicity, Häfele and Bosideng London.

drpgroup looks to graduates and apprentices for growth

THE drpgroup is growing its team with the appointment of new graduates and apprentices.

Two new graduates have joined the drpdigitalmedia team, joining two new apprentices and a graduate at drpvideo.

The Bromsgrove agency said it hoped to be in a position to offer full time contracts to all the recruits once they had completed their training.

Agency director Ben Wallace (pictured) has a long-standing relationship with Birmingham Metropolitan College. He has also presented to students at Kidderminster Academy, where he discussed his own career and a typical day working in digital agency.

“Digital is very much at the forefront of many clients minds and although we are able to find great people who have gained vast experience. It is also vital that we invest in upcoming talents, especially looking at graduates and apprentices.”
