Two new account wins for Mere PR

Mere PR can announce two new accounts. We have been appointed by leading wipes manufacturer Nice-Pak International to implement a national trade and consumer media relations campaign and series of creative brand building initiatives for its two own brands, Halo and Sani+Hands.
We have also been tasked with raising the profile of bespoke personal tailoring service, Berkley Bowen, driving awareness with key target audiences in Manchester, Cheshire, Liverpool and Merseyside and supporting the brand as it expands across the UK.
Two out of two competitive pitches is a great result for the team and a strong start to the year. We’re delighted!

A bigger ‘Rovers’ return with Metrolink

Mere PR organised for Coronation Street cast members Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent) and Rosie Webster (Helen Flanagan) to launch Metrolink’s 2010 season ticket campaign.
The girls took time out from the cobbles to promote the great savings that can be made with each of Metrolink’s four season tickets – weekly, four weekly, quarterly and annual.
Brooke Vincent and Helen Flanagan commented: “Coronation Street, which is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary is an integral part of Manchester’s history. The fact that a tram can be seen passing by in the opening credits of every episode shows just how much the new Metrolink system has become a symbol of modern Manchester.”

Putting the fun into fundraising

Friday night was party night (all in aid of a good cause of course!) when the Mere PR team supported one of its longest-standing clients by taking a table at the famous Manchester ball which was held at the Hilton Hotel. All money raised was donated to The Together Trust, a really worthy cause supporting young people across Greater Manchester and the North of England. www.togethertrust.org.uk. Friday 13th was lucky for some – we won a giant teddy bear in the raffle.
