Fylde coast agency in line for five awards

It is shortlisted for its work for London-based eco-friendly retail business, The Used Kitchen Company, in the categories of Best Media Relations Campaign and Best Trade or B2B Campaign.

This recognises its environmental initiative - Kitchen Passports - which will extend the lifespan of a kitchen and make its ultimate recycling much more eco-friendly.

TUKC is the first business to respond to the Government’s Resources and Waste strategy, thanks to Catapult PR’s research and creative idea, and launched the concept to the trade at its biggest show, kbb Birmingham, which took place in early March.

Catapult PR also has two shortlistings for its work for Northumberland Day 2020, in the categories of Best Not-for-Profit Campaign and Campaign Challenges. The fifth nomination is for Catapult PR’s managing director, Jane Hunt, inset, who is shortlisted for Best Professional for her creative work, results and industry contribution.

The PRCA Dare Awards are organised by the Public Relations and Communications Association and the Northern region covers 10 counties.

The PR agency more than doubled its office space at its Preston New Road offices in March and has started to work with new affiliates in Cumbria.

Managing director, Jane Hunt, said: “Catapult PR has worked phenomenally hard in the last year and right through lockdown, when we have been ideally placed to work with various new start-up businesses which either pivoted and reimagined themselves or which have been founded by people who saw it as the right time to pursue a business idea.

“Our work for clients in the past year has been commended by national and regional awards judges, despite coronavirus delaying some elements of campaigns or making them impossible to implement as intended, so we are absolutely thrilled to already have recognition for our results to date."
