CH&A Spring Forward!

Another month down in 2011, where is this year going?! They do say time flies when you are having fun and we have certainly been enjoying ourselves at CH&A this past month, with lots of coverage achieved for clients as well as welcoming Duncan, our new Head of Studio, to the team.

Duncan brings a huge amount of skills and experience to the team, having worked for some of the biggest Design & Marketing agencies in the world, with this in mind we decided to throw him into the deep end and task him with overseeing the FREEE Clothing photo shoot with the Ospreys!

FREEE Clothing is a new clothing line from Italy, which is due to launch nationwide later this year and is also one of the new shirt sponsors for the Ospreys Rugby Team next season. CH&A put together a photo shoot with some of the Ospreys’ players modelling the FREE Clothing to create powerful and engaging point of sale (POS) and promotion shots for a UK-wide advertising campaign. A selection of the shots can be found here.



One of the T-Shirts used in the photo shoot was signed by all of the players present and was donated to Pepper Crescent to auction off during their Bob Champion Cancer Trust evening on the 14th March. All of the CH&A team attended the fundraiser, which served not only as a great event supporting a fantastic cause, but also as a preview for the Cheltenham Festival with Mike Cattermole and Mick Fitzgerald in attendance, not to mention the Totesport Gold Cup itself!



March has also seen some great coverage achieved by our PR team, Water and Stone Bathrooms were featured in this month’s Kitchens Bedrooms & Bathrooms magazine (click here to view the article), Memorial Woodlands received a fantastic write up in the Funeral Service Times and the Ospreys website featured videos of our photo shoot (click here to view).

In other news, CH&A have been appointed by Servisair to handle all of their Crisis Management across 27 stations in the UK and Ireland. CH&A have extensive experience within the aviation sector and are specialists in crisis management, so we’re delighted to be able to combine this knowledge and skill and look forward to providing Servisair with quality service over the coming months and years.

CH&A has also been appointed by Deborah Mitchell to handle all aspects of Public Relations and Marketing for her range of skincare products – watch this space for more news and information regarding some incredible beauty products (the girls are very excited by this!).

As ever in the CH&A offices we are busy bees but please don’t hesitate to give us a call if you’re interested in improving any element of your company’s PR and Marketing. We are experts in Digital Marketing, Public Relations, Social Media, Graphic Design and a whole host of other disciplines, so if you’re looking to improve your current strategy or to start again from scratch do give us a call! Or you can pop by our offices in the Royal Crescent (number 12) and we’d be happy to chat over an excellent cup of coffee in Pepper Crescent (any excuse for caffeine!).

Lastly, but by no means least, it’s my duty to say (through gritted teeth!) well done to Natalie, Duncan, Colin and Rachel who all backed winners during the Cheltenham Race Week. Colin thought he’d done well by backing Long Run in the Gold Cup, only for Natalie to get 1st, 2nd and 3rd!

On the whole a great March, here’s to a super April!

Chris H – Digital Marketing Manager.
