Flagship Consulting and Redfront Marketing launch the ‘Communications Studio’
26 September 2011
Flagship Consulting has teamed up with marcomms agency Redfront Marketing to create the Communications Studio, a club providing value-for-money PR and marketing services to entrepreneurs, SMEs and start-ups.
Three clients have already signed-up to the club; Plymouth-based online and mobile developer Remode; space saving cycle parking company Cycle Rax from Rotherham, and energy efficiency and sustainability consultants Carbon GC based in the South West.
Designed to accommodate the needs and budgets of small but growing companies, the Communications Studio offers three tiers of packages – silver, gold and platinum.
Ella Romanos, owner and founder of Remode said, “As a small business it’s often difficult to know exactly where to start when it comes to promoting yourself, and hiring an agency to help can be prohibitively expensive. The Communications Studio solution is great as it gives us the tools and knowledge to undertake PR and marcomms ourselves, while getting support from the experts when and where we need it, all in a cost effective way.”
Diana Soltmann, CEO, Flagship Consulting said, “We’ve been working with start-ups and growing businesses on the PR side for years, and understand the pressures they face to deliver results with limited funding and resources. This partnership allows them to choose the programme that best suits their needs and budget.”
Simon Gough, Director, Redfront Marketing said, “Small businesses we work with are often overwhelmed by the variety of marketing and PR channels available. We have designed this service with Flagship in consultation with industry, to help de-mystify PR and marcomms, whilst supporting growing businesses in delivering effective campaigns themselves.”
Each package has an annual membership fee and comprises a range of activities the company can themselves handle in-house, with support and advice from Flagship Consulting and Redfront Marketing. Communications Studio members can purchase, when appropriate, a range of add-on services.
All subscribers to the Communications Studio are also part of a LinkedIn community, with access to a number of free benefits, such as ‘How to’ guides covering PR, social media, branding, direct marketing; quarterly group training sessions in subjects like crisis management, media training and SEO; an annual networking event and bi-monthly newsletter; and access to brainstorms.
