Home Strategic, the Isle of Man¹s fastest growing marketing agency, has
unveiled ambitious plans with the launch of a dedicated PR & Web division
which sees the appointment of three new high-profile directors.
The division will be known as Home PR & Web, with former regional and national newspaper journalist Les Able, who has worked in financial PR for 10 years, heading up media and consumer relations.
James Qualtrough, who joins from Bradford & Bingley International in Douglas
where he was assistant marketing manager, will focus on the growing demand for new media relations.
Bob Jones, who ran his own Peel-based web design business Satsu Ltd with major clients from both on and off the Island, becomes director of new media design.
Having developed a reputation built on innovative and general trend bucking,
our main challenge in setting up this new division was how to do it
differently and not just follow the crowd,² said Steve Wicks, joint managing
director of Home Strategic.
He added: The first answer was to find a team of people who also liked to
question conventional thought and try different ideas. Les, James and Bob bring together not only a wealth of experience but an exciting balance of new and traditional online and offline media expertise that meet head-on the
challenges of the 21st century, ensuring we deliver balanced strategies that
deliver real results for clients.
