Leading Northern PR Agency Karol Marketing has been shortlisted in four categories in this year's prestigious Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) PRide Awards. The awards recognise the outstanding work PR delivers for clients and employers across the UK.
Karol has been shortlisted for its work with North East-based technology start up Ocucon, the world’s first Video Surveillance as a Service platform, in the categories of Corporate and Business Communications Campaign, Integrated Campaign and Low Budget Campaign.
The award-winning agency has also been shortlisted in the Best Publication category for its innovative brochure and Karol beer produced in partnership with Brinkburn St Brewery, which is given to all visitors to Karol’s offices based in a converted pub in Ouseburn.
For the last two years, the agency has swept the board at the CIPR PRide Awards, winning categories including Corporate and Business Communications Campaign, Consumer Relations Campaign and Not-For-Profit Campaign.
Account Director at Karol Marketing, Victoria Ross, commented: “It’s a great achievement for the agency to once again be shortlisted in so many categories. By combining winning strategy and insight with brilliant creative executions, we consistently achieve genuine value and business growth for our clients. We’re looking forward to celebrating at the awards ceremony this December.”
Ocucon co-founder, Gary Trotter, commented: “In the space of just one year, Karol took Ocucon from being an unknown name to a brand recognised by the likes of Google, Virgin, DEFRA and the Metropolitan Police. The team at Karol has positioned Ocucon as a leader in video cloud storage and the queue of big name customers we have is testament to this.”
Karol is one of the longest established PR agencies in Newcastle, creating exciting and disruptive campaigns for over 25 years, with over 60 industry awards to boot.
