Campaign Goals & Results

Punch has been commissioned to proactively communicate a range of new Bowmer & Kirkland initiatives - such as pioneering sustainable building practices, latest project news, partnership announcements and corporate news - to the property trade and business press, on a regional and national level, to raise the brand's profile amongst target groups across the UK.

In the client's words
"As a Group comprising 25 companies and employing over 1,800 staff, it was absolutely essential that we selected the best possible candidate to effectively represent and promote our brand across the target market. Having considered a number of options, we are convinced that Punch Communications is that candidate and we are extremely pleased with the initial strategy and planning meetings we have held so far. We look forward to a strong, ongoing relationship that will really drive the B&K brand forward into 2009. "
