News: Midlands media specialists join forces

Two West Midlands media specialists have formed a new working partnership called Brand Promoter to combine their range of services.

Digital media consultancy Prominent Media and Communications in Warwickshire have teamed up with web design agency Bit10 in Coventry to offer a full package of brand management services.

Prominent specialise in copywriting, digital media management and public relations and Bit10 offer web development, online marketing and analysis and hosting.

The unique partnership is addressing a gap in the market by offering a new and innovative package of services on a monthly basis.

Mark McKeever, sales director of Bit10, said: "Many public relations agencies offer their services on a monthly package, but typically web agencies agree a figure and ask for payment up front.

"To offer an annual combined package that includes the website design and update management will be appealing to many who are deterred by paying a large sum of money up front."

Together Brand Promoter harnesses both Prominent and Bit10's 30 years of experience in the media industry.

Steve Holden, Managing Director of Prominent, said: "At Prominent, we are delighted to embark on this new venture with Bit10.

"Mark and I saw the opportunity to use our individual teams skills and wealth of experience in different areas to create one combined service that fulfils all of our clients' marketing requirements.

"We are very excited about the launch of Brand Promoter; we look forward to seeing what impact our joint venture will have in helping clients prosper!"
