Surgery PR looks to Manchester to develop online front

Friday 22nd of February 2008

One London PR firm has solicited the assistance of a Manchester-based web design company in bolstering its online image.

In a project that has resulted in the complete design of the firm's site, Surgery PR tasked Bubble with developing a website that complemented its image as a cutting-edge provider of online PR and other public relations services.

Clients of the firm include G-Star, Wrangler and Katherine Hamnett, north-west media commentator How Do reports.

James Gilbert, creative director at Bubble, said of the assignment: "Bubble came up with a variety of ideas to re-invent the traditional corporate web interface and replace it with a more intriguing and exploratory journey for visitors."

Elsewhere in the consumer sector, Talking Retail has announced that it is set to launch a new PR campaign for Smirnoff vodka.

The £2 million marketing ploy will involve both traditional and online PR campaigns and will offer customers the chance to win a "journey of a lifetime" when they purchase a 70 cl bottle of the spirit.
