It’s one of the greatest accolades a marketing, PR or creative agency can receive. Internal industry recognition is great, but earning a place on the Recommended Agency Register pips the rest to the post.
And there’s one simple reason why. RAR status is only given to companies whose clients believe they have excelled in a particular field. So that we’re listed across industries like food and drink, FMCG, retail, leisure, travel, charity, sport, property, fashion, automotive, and digital proves we’ve been doing a few things right.
To our loyal customers, who have rewarded our countless nights of toil under the Manchester sky, we say thank you. We’re glad we got people talking about your brand, and helped your company to tell some stories. In return, we’re thrilled you’ve been chatting about us, and hope to give you plenty more to discuss over the next few months.
