A Wirral PR company reports that it has acquired six new clients during the last three months.

Artemis Media (website), based at Monks Ferry, Birkenhead, has secured new business with CBI (North West), Thornton Hall Hotel, LT Print Group, Delivery Solutions, Green Power Forum and Mosslands School.

Artemis was set up by directors Emma Parker-Goff and Ben Pinnington in 2007. Other clients include shipyard Cammell Laird and law firm Mace & Jones.

Ms Parker-Goff said trading conditions remained tough. She told the Daily Post: “In this climate, PR has to understand what businesses are trying to achieve and reinforce those objectives. Providing it is focused, vigorous and enthusiastic, a media campaign can make a significant difference to a business at a time when growth is harder.”

Wirral based PR agency Mason Media has given itself a revamp as it also announces two new client wins.

The Ness based business has decided to rebrand itself as a communications consultancy. Director Nick Mason told the Liverpool Daily Post: “We felt the term PR didn’t really do justice to the range of work we do for our clients, so we have rechristened ourselves ‘the communications consultancy’ because communication is at the heart of everything we do.”

The agency also reported that is has secured new deals with to run a media relations campaign with Paragon PE for its Halo laundry detergents range and has been hired by Ellesmere Port-based technology firm MSoft.
