Face means business
Harrogate – 19th April 2009
We've done it again!
On the back of winning the Havering College account, we were invited to put forward proposals to promote their services to business. Havering College offers apprenticeships, Train to Gain, bespoke training, as well as Higher Level training, and in some pretty obscure areas too. They teach the army about transport logistics, they train the stewards for Wembley Stadium as well as putting together bespoke degree courses.
Well we had a great time developing a marketing strategy and creative proposals. And it showed too because the client absolutely loved the proposals and commented that they were just what they needed to take them forward. Watch this space!, well this website anyway.
