Following a six-month partnership with Thomson Environmental Consultants, Huddersfield-based PR agency Wild PR is expanding its services for this expert in environmental compliance.
Established in 2004, Thomson Environmental Consultants has become a leader in the environment sector, acquiring a team of over 150 specialists across six UK locations, including Guildford (HQ), Birmingham, Manchester, East Anglia, Cardiff, and Leeds.
Initially brought on board to support the firm’s ambitious year-on-year growth target, Wild PR implemented a SEO-focused digital PR strategy.
This delivered tangible results which have directly impacted Thomson’s keyword positioning and website traffic, bolstering brand awareness and website visibility.
The collaboration has led to an expanded retainer, including diverse offerings such as marketing strategy, SEO, social media management, and content creation.
Director of business development at Thomson Environmental, Daniel Reynolds, said: “Working with Wild for the last year has enabled us to communicate our innovations and expertise to our target audiences while allowing the Thomson team to continue providing the highest service standards to our clients.
“After achieving such great results during our first six months of working together, we knew that ramping up activity with new streams, such as social media and SEO-focused content creation, would amplify our message and further strengthen our presence in the market.
“Now, this strategic expansion allows us to engage with our audience on multiple platforms.”
Kayleigh Morgan, senior account manager at Wild PR, added: “We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Thomson Environmental Consultants and expand our services to them to include new activity streams.
“With this expansion, we look forward to delivering greater value and impact.”
