Punch Celebrates Fifth Anniversary With Prestigious Office Move
Posted: Thursday 31 July, 2008
Midlands-based PR agency Punch Communications has celebrated its fifth full year in business with a move to prestigious new office accommodation in the rural countryside. The move marks the end of Punch's busiest year to date, which has seen the company quadruple turnover, add five new team members and win no less than twenty-four new clients.
The business continues to develop apace, having most recently won two major projects, including a national head-to-head pitch with three other agencies, including the London office of one of the largest PR groups in the world.
A cornerstone of the business' development has been the dedicated investment - in terms of both time and finances - in the development of Punch's online presence. Opting not to create costly marketing collaterals which are potentially outdated immediately upon their creation, Punch has developed a website which is both an extensive online PR resource and a constantly evolving representation of the business.
From RSS feeds and daily blog updates to interaction with leading global social media resources such as Digg and Del.icio.us, www.punchcomms.com has both provided an excellent promotional tool, enabling potential customers to easily find the business via the web whilst also underlining to customers the business' ability to be able to achieve such goals.
Pete Goold, MD of Punch, commented: "There's no doubt that we've had an incredible year, from working with Silicon Valley-based start ups to having just begun a campaign with an £860m global construction business and winning a heavyweight national pitch against stiff competition. As someone that abhors office politics, I'm extremely proud of the culture that we've developed, with a team of both junior and senior members that are equally willing to roll their sleeves up and work hard on every client's behalf."
"The new offices mark an evolutionary step change in the business' development, with 50% more space and facilities than we have at present, which itself is a 300% larger than the office we were in at the beginning of the year. Although this is great news for the business, we have absolutely no pretensions or delusions of grandeur as we repeatedly find that our most effective marketing tactic is to achieve success for our clients which consequently recommend us to their networks."
Punch Communications' new address is The Steadings, Units 9 & 10, Sutton Lodge, Sutton Bassett, Leicestershire, LE16 8HL and the landline changes to +44 (0) 1858 411600. For more information, please visit www.punchcomms.com.
