Catapult PR Wins Three Awards In Two Days!

Lancashire-based public relations consultancy, Catapult PR, has scooped three top PR awards in just two days, becoming a winner in both the Northern Marketing Awards and the CIPR PRide NW Awards.

Catapult won the Northern Marketing Award for Best Tourism and Leisure campaign, seeing off some top competition in awards covering the whole of the north, from Staffordshire to Northumberland. The campaign, ‘Champion for a Day’ was conducted for its client, Langley Castle, and saw the castle bringing about the very first Northumberland Day.

The judges commented: “This was a really strong campaign, it had a big impact and ran on a very limited budget. A campaign with clear goals, budgets and a great understanding of their target audience and how to reach them. A worthy winner.”

Catapult PR then returned from the CIPR PRide Awards NW with the top accolades of Gold PR Awards in two categories – Best Community PR Campaign and Best Independent Practitioner. Here it competed against the top Manchester and Liverpool-based agencies and in-house marketing teams across the region.

Catapult was also a finalist in 5 other categories across the two award schemes.

Despite this success, the story may not yet be over, as Catapult PR is also shortlisted for a further five awards in the CIM Northern Awards, taking place on November 9.

Managing director, Jane Hunt, is particularly delighted to have won the top accolade for tourism PR. This is one of Catapult PR’s specialisms and the consultancy represents tourism sector clients across Cumbria, Yorkshire and Northumberland.

Catapult is also rapidly becoming the PR agency of choice for community-focused campaigns, with the consultancy winning prestigious awards for community PR two years in a row.

Jane Hunt says: “Catapult is a boutique agency and other marketing professionals, at both ceremonies, were amazed at what it’s achieved, describing the success as “incredible”. The award wins, plus the huge number of nominations we’ve enjoyed, show the power of creative ideas, hard work and commitment to clients’ campaigns.”
