Stand Agency appointed to advise PPL
Fast growing PR and social media consultancy, Stand Agency, has been appointed by PPL, an independent management consultancy, to develop and deliver a re-brand and communications strategy for 2013. This win for Stand Agency adds to its growing portfolio of clients as it comes up to its first birthday.
PPL works across the health and social care, local government, education, third, technology and innovation sectors, with a UK-wide client base. The PPL team recently won an Innovation award from the Management Consultancies Association (MCA) for their work with Nesta and the Innovation Unit on People Powered Health, looking at the management of long term health conditions across the UK.
Stand Agency has been briefed to develop an overarching communications strategy and plan to enable PPL to expand in markets where it already has a strong and well-respected presence. The account will be led by co-founder and Director of Stand Agency, Rebecca McLeod.
Rebecca, said:
“We look forward to supporting one of the top 50 UK management consultancies creating an innovative PR strategy that will increase awareness of PPL while differentiating it in the marketplace.
“This is an exciting time for Stand Agency with PPL as a new client and other opportunities on the horizon.”
Simon Morioka, Managing Director, PPL, said:
“Over the last five years we have delivered sustainable change in the private, public and third sectors and we look forward to working with Stand Agency to further build awareness of our offering to these markets.
“Stand Agency stood out as they are closely aligned to our commitment of being consistently open and honest in our work, ensuring that we deliver genuine value to clients”
