We triumph in southern region rumba

Fiona and Brendan may have finally been kicked off Strictly Come Dancing but there is also some good news competition-wise elsewhere in that Phoenix has beaten four other agencies to win the marketing, advertising and PR account for George Wimpey Southern region.

In a five-way tussle we managed to keep our balance and poise to come through a creative pitch process with flying colours (what’s more we didn’t even need a nine from Craig Revel Horwood!)

We have been working with Laing Homes, a subsidiary of George Wimpey, for nine years and running marketing and PR for them since the spring of 2003. The new account is to begin from December and will cover sites from Chichester to Poole, which houses some of the most desirable areas in the UK.

Account Directors Lucy Hogarth and Hayley Jennings are looking forward to the joys of applying their considerable combined talents to the new venture and spending more time on the A3 and M27 to boot!
