Based on a schedule of planned press releases, Mackman will maximise the positive attention that Sudbury-based Bridge Project  receives.

Securing attention for this garden amongst the other entrants will really boost exposure for our client, and we’re proud to represent them.

Mackman Research has won a public relations research contract for leading national provider of accountancy and business services, Baker Tilly.

Mackman Research has been commissioned by Baker Tilly to conduct a study among company directors who own a significant stake in their businesses.  Baker Tilly is interested in directors’ outlook on owning and managing a business in the UK.  The research will be used as a public relations tool to raise brand profile for the accountancy group.

“We have enjoyed an ongoing working relationship with Baker Tilly’s Bury and Milton Keynes offices during the past five years and were pleased to be approached by Baker Tilly London,” says Gemma Mackman, Research Director at Mackman Research.  ” The new pr research contract requires working to a tight deadline and reaching a challenging group of Managing Directors, in owner managed businesses that are notoriously difficult to gain opinions from.  However, we thoroughly enjoy projects that test our research skills and are looking forward to completing the project on time and expanding our work with Baker Tilly.”
