Creative Vein snatches last minute Trafford pitch
Creative Vein has snatched the lucrative SureStart contract from under the noses of its competitors, after a last minute creative pitch won the business ahead of three prior rival bids.
The agency has taken on two new staff – an account handler and designer- solely to deal with the win from Trafford Council.
Creative Vein was invited pitch for the business after three other agencies had already pitched, but failed to fulfil the brief.
The agency will undertake a rolling marketing campaign for the launch of five new SureStart centres in the Manchester area, rolling out in 2009. It involves the design of banner advertising, literature and stationery to promote the centres.
The pitch invitation had come at an opportune moment for Creative Vein, who had been rumoured to be on the verge of implementing a programme of redundancies.
