Stand Agency wins Vantage Finance brief
Vantage Finance has appointed Stand Agency to develop and implement a new PR strategy to support its growth strategy.
Vantage Finance is a leading specialist broker that packages secured loans, buy to let mortgages, commercial finance, short term loans (bridging loans) and development finance for intermediaries in the UK. It operates in a competitive market and Stand Agency will be working with Vantage Finance to build awareness of the significant expertise within its specialist team.
The brief covers two phases – positioning and key message development, followed by a PR programme to enhance Vantage Finance’s reputation and profile in the industry press.
The account will be led by Stand Agency co-founder Francesca Rivett-Carnac.
Lucy Hodge, Director of Vantage Finance said:
“I’m excited to be working with Stand Agency on a well thought out communications strategy. The team at Stand have always demonstrated the utmost professionalism whenever I have worked with them. They combine a personal approach to their clients with a strong underlying corporate PR offer, which means a friendly and responsive team that delivers excellent results.”
Francesca Rivett-Carnac, Associate Director and co-founder of Stand Agency said:
“Vantage Finance is a highly respected brokerage with a distinctive way of doing business. We’ll be working with Lucy and her team to build their media profile and highlight the benefits of using an expert packager with an in-depth knowledge of the UK lending market.”
