THE Passionate team literally stopped traffic the other day, as we had photos taken for our own press release - in the middle of the road! The lorry driver didn't look impressed as he sat waiting for the wind to die down so our hair wasn't blowing in our faces for the shot.
Thanks to Jim at Gingersnaps Photography for putting up with five vain women!
Linda's now regretting using the whole bottle of fake tan beforehand, but we had to get the word out about our move and recent successes.
Read on for the press release that accompanies it.
A growing Staffordshire PR agency has relocated to larger premises after adding to its workforce amid an increasing client portfolio.
The move for Passionate Media comes after the team was highlighted as ‘leading by example’ in a national survey on flexible working.
A report by the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development praised the company, which provides PR, marketing and copywriting services, for leading by example with an “innovative” approach.
The company, which was established four years ago, has relocated to New Street, Bridgtown, having spent the last 18 months based at The Old Church in Gailey.
The move follows the addition of another member of staff, with Emma Challinor joining as PR assistant and admin manager, taking the team total to five.
A number of new clients have joined the agency’s books, including Walsall’s New Deal government regeneration programme, Wolverhampton’s Lloyds TSB bank, and a number of UK hotels in The Village group.
Passionate also works with Wolverhampton’s Compton Hospice, playing a major part in promoting its 25th anniversary this year.
As well as working on marketing and PR campaigns, Passionate writers also provide features for a range of national publications.
Marketing director, Carol Garrington, winner of the 2006 Most Exceptional Working Mother award, said the addition of Emma to the team, and the move to larger premises, was a welcome step forward.
“We chose to move to Bridgtown because it’s a thriving business community benefiting from major regeneration which is already bringing us new opportunities.”
Carol said she had been pleased with the praise from the CIPD.
“I was delighted Passionate Media was singled out as an example of best practice in business. It has always been our aim to provide a flexible working environment for our team.”
