25 Feb Mercury launches its services in Leeds and London

After a period of sustained growth, an East Yorkshire-based agency is taking its skills on the road.

Mercury Design and Marketing Ltd, has launched operations in West Yorkshire and Bedfordshire, due to client demand.

Members of the Mercury team will relocate to premises in both Birstall and Harlington to ensure clients right throughout the country can access the agency’s in-demand expertise. The expansion will also see new jobs created, as demand increases even further.

The move comes after a number of significant new account wins in 2009 and will see Kelly Todd, founding director of Mercury, take the business to new heights in 2010.

“This is a very carefully planned move for the business,” she said. “We have been picking up more and more business in other parts of the country throughout the year and it makes logistical sense to ensure we have our resources placed in the right geographical areas in order to service them well.

“I think this is a very significant milestone for Mercury. I am incredibly proud of my team’s achievements in consistently delivering to a high standard for our strong client base and never failing to come up with the creative ideas to sit alongside that quality of work.

“Clients in East Yorkshire can rest assured that our expansion will only further secure Mercury’s position as the leading communications agency in their area, with more skills across the full spectrum of branding, marketing, design, print, public relations, lobbying, events, digital and new media, as well as internal communications and media training, than any other organisation they will come across locally.”
