Design firm joins the world of PR

Feb 5 2008 by Karen Dent, The Journal

A DESIGN firm has expanded its work to include Press and PR with the creation of a new associated company.

Newcastle-based DMS Design, which was set up by David Sanders in 2001 and employs six staff, has linked up with former Persuasion PR account manager, BBC Radio Newcastle producer and journalist Kate Slater, who will head KSPR.

She said: “KSPR can now offer professional, strategically planned Press and public relations advice and campaigns. Both DMS and KSPR clients can now benefit from this mutual collaboration by having the choice of a wider range of related services under one roof.”

Mr Sanders said: “More and more clients have been asking if we can provide Press releases and newsletters to complement their promotional campaigns – and now we are able to do so.”

DMS, which specialises in graphic design, advertising and branding, has clients including Ward Hadaway, RICS North-East and the Newcastle Literacy Trust.
