We have worked as the retained PR agency for the Greater Lincolnshire LEP since 2012. In that time we have worked closely with LEP officers, LEP board members, the Chief Executive and the Chair Ursula Lidbetter OBE and provided a comprehensive communications service.

At the beginning of the contract our initial brief was to deliver stakeholder mapping and stakeholder engagement for the new organisation. Following that first phase of work we developed a marketing and communications plan, working closely with Optima Design.

Our comms activity now encompasses media relations, news releases, reputation management, press office, stakeholder communications, social media, digital marketing, strategic consultancy, training, copywriting and event support.

Working with the LEP means also working with a diverse range of high-level partners, including local authorities, Government departments, universities and colleges, other LEPs and the national LEP Network.
