Bell Pottinger Leeds

BELL Pottinger Leeds is an integrated public relations agency that employs 10 staff and has ambitions to double in size by 2015.

The agency has a diverse range of clients from business start-ups to multi-national companies. As part of the £68m turnover Bell Pottinger Group the Leeds office has global reach and has managed European-wide campaigns.

The company that is based in offices at The Tannery in Leeds has grown significantly over the last couple of years with expansion across a number of industry sectors including professional services and retail.

It has invested in training and expertise to grow its digital offering to include SEO and social media to allow a truly integrated approach to campaign delivery and measurement.

In challenging economic conditions Bell Pottinger Leeds has seen the growth of its traditional, media relations focused, business and digital marketing services. A key driver in this growth has been the need for businesses to see a clear return on investment from their marketing budgets.

Commenting on the growth Nathan Lane, director of Bell Pottinger Leeds said: “We put customer engagement at the heart of everything we do, and our experienced team couple creative ideas with innovative planning methods to get companies, brand, people and products talked about and to drive sales.

“Companies are no longer making the distinction between marketing disciplines. We have invested to ensure that we can deliver insight led campaigns that deliver brand messages across all media that grab the attention of the target audience.

This approach is resonating with clients and driving our growth.”

He continued: “The ability to recruit digitally savvy talent is a brake on our growth and we have put in place a number of initiatives to build our profile with the best graduates and young professionals.”

Bell Pottinger plans to double the size of the business in the next three years and anticipates that digital services will prove a key driver in this growth.
