New wins for PR agency East Village

A Birmingham PR and marketing agency is celebrating a raft of new client wins across the health and wellness sector.

City centre-based East Village has been appointed by Zeus to manage its national PR activity.

Headquartered in Birmingham, the company manufactures e-liquids from its base in  Erdington and has brought the agency on board to support its expansion plans.

Choice CBD, which specialises in high end CBD oils, has recruited East Village to manage its PR and social media activities.

Birmingham-based cosmetic dentistry practice New Road Dental, make-up clinic The Make Up Spot and cosmetic surgery practice The Dorchester Clinic, in Market Bosworth, have also recruited the agency for PR support.

The wins follows its recent initiative Pocket Sized PR which helped small businesses with support and advice during the coronavirus lockdown.

As a result of the campaign, East Village has secured seven new clients for its SME service.

Managing director Tara Tomes said: "The past few months have been a challenge to say the least but I'm so incredibly grateful to the new businesses that have chosen to work with us for PR and social media support.

"While covid-19 continues to impact every sector, the health and beauty industry has been able to reap some of the benefits of the pandemic.

"With people spending more time at home during lockdown, committing to fitness regimes like never before, and the importance of self-care taking over social media, some weeks have seen sales for brands increase by up to 50 per cent."

The agency, which was founded by Ms Tomes in 2013, also works with hospitality and retail brands across the city including Bare Bones Pizza, Evolve Café and Longbridge Shopping.
