When an agency is busy it’s occasionally guilty of forgetting to practice what it preaches.

The past few weeks have been a blur of pitches, award writing, campaign implementation and recruitment, which means that we’ve been a little quieter than usual. With another nomination under our belt (watch out for updates on the How Do Social Media Agency Award), normal service is resumed!

So, for those of you who don’t follow the team on twitter, here’s a quick round up:

1) We’ve been winning some new project work – picking up an online communications brief for Henry Smith Steel and a campaign for Eisberg, the non alcoholic wine brand made by the lovely chaps at Halewood (which includes the launch of a new facebook campaign.)

2) We’re still recruiting – at account director and apprentice level. So if you’re keen to join us, then send a one page CV to jennifer@democracypr.com. Don’t rely on a recruitment agency to put you forwards (cos we don’t use them!), we know that real talent takes the time to speak to us directly and finds new ways to impress us.

3) We’ve moved in some friends. A couple of our friends from up and coming  creative agency Stiff Rowlands have agreed to pull up a chair and add a new dimension to conversations round the kettle. As they say … it might not be the Algarve, but on a sunny day in Chorlton I know where I’d rather be.

4) We’ve launched a twitter account for our new home Beech Rd. At the moment the road is the destination for the filming of Mount Pleasant, a new Sky One drama being produced by Tiger Aspect starring Sally Lindsay, Liza Tarbuck and the legendary Bobby Ball.

5) Our lovely PR Apprentice of a year Hannah has been promoted to Client Advocate, so huge congratulations to her.

I think that’s about it for now…. but expect more news (including some interesting stuff about the team) very soon.
