Chartered surveyors team up with PR firm

Chartered surveyors Invise has entered into a partnership with Poppy PR to carry out its public relations work.

Invise, which was launched during lockdown with just a few hundred pounds and a seven-year-old laptop, is formalising its PR activity to support big growth plans over the next few years.

The arrangement with Poppy PR has already reaped rewards for Invise, which has landed a major client directly as a result of the new-found PR and social media activity.

Poppy PR, founded 13 years ago by managing director Tina Clough, has experience with construction-related clients. Invise represents its first firm of chartered surveyors.

Invise managing director James Baker said: “We were thinking of sourcing help from a professional PR firm, and Tina happened to be delivering a presentation about PR at Hive Thinking, a business networking group I attended.

“I was impressed, and it was that session that led me to Poppy PR. Since then, the team there has delivered in spades.”

Tina, who runs Poppy PR alongside business partner Phil Stubbs, said: “James has worked wonders with Invise in a relatively short space of time, and his vision, passion and massive positivity have enabled us to really make the most of this partnership and help drive his business towards the next level of growth.”
