Communications consortium launched
A new, full-service marketing agency has been launched in Yorkshire, offering a consortium of communication specialisms under one roof.
The Northern Communications Group has been established to provide a through-the-line ‘umbrella’ offer, to include marketing, public relations, publishing, advertising, social & digital and branding expertise, as a one-stop-shop for clients seeking a joined-up communication approach. MK Public Relations, based in South Yorkshire; and Goldtempest Media, a York based media advertising agency have joined the Group, each operating as wholly owned subsidiaries; and with further Group announcements due to be made imminently.
Championing a London-based approach, Northern Communications Group is one of the first agencies of its kind to be located in the region, with headquarters in Sheffield and York.
The Group has been founded by Chris Grieveson, a specialist within consultancy and change management.
Grieveson said: “The north is a growing harbour of economic opportunity, with an increasing number of national and international businesses looking to relocate to the region and invest. The key objective behind the NCG was to develop a comprehensive, sophisticated marketing offer that is customer focused, results driven and great value for money.
“We are proud to be bringing together a set of professional experts with a raft of specialist understanding to best serve the needs of our clients.”
MK, which has represented a number of regional and national organisations from legal and professional services through to shopping centres and retailers, to include Irwin Mitchell LLP; Meadowhall Shopping Centre and McCain Foods, has been operating for over 15 years and boasts a wealth of PR management experience – and industry awards.
Goldtempest Media brings vast understanding and experience in buying, planning, production and design across all media platforms ranging from TV, radio, press, and outdoor through to online, having represented clients including Browns Department Stores; Piccadilly Motors Group; STEM Learning; Leeds Trinity University and Leading Labels.
Grieveson continues: “The Northern Communications Group is an aspiring agency set to revolutionise the market – an ambition that we believe is fully achievable given the expertise and experience we are bringing on-board, with the calibre of agencies such as Goldtempest and MK PR.”
