Shooting Star PR continues to expand after winning a 12 month NHS contract.

The Lincoln-based agency is working with North East Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) to help raise its profile, support internal communications and develop a new website.

The CCG was formed in April 2013 as part of the national health reforms and needs help to deliver complex messages about its unique way of working, its role within health and social care and its values.

“I spent over five years working for NHS Lincolnshire and now I’m delighted to use my in-depth experience and knowledge of the NHS to work with one of our newest clients,” said Sarah Howells, Account Manager at Shooting Star PR.

“Thanks to my past role I have the skills the hit the ground running. The CCG is a new organisation and because it is structured differently to its counterparts, it has some complex messages to deliver. To achieve this, I’m helping the CCG to engage with its 30 member practices and working with the volunteers from its community forum.”

Shooting Star PR won the contract to provide PR services alongside Grimsby-based Kinetic Marketing, which is providing marketing expertise.

North East Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group is responsible for health and social care services for over 165,000 people in Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Immingham.

The CCG is made up of doctors, nurses and health professionals from 30 GP member practices working with people from the local community.
