KRPR sponsors grass roots football

KRPR has pledged its commitment to grass roots football by becoming full kit sponsors for local team, Astley & Buckshaw Blue Under 9’s.

With our base right here in Chorley, we have always supported local causes and charities and are now proud kit sponsors of the junior team for the next two seasons.

Simon Hodgkinson, manager of the Astley & Buckshaw Blue Under 9’s team said: “We are absolutely delighted that KRPR have supported us and the team in this way and want to say a massive thank you to agency owner, Kara Rose. It’s great to see a local company supporting a local team, especially at this age and we think the kits look great!”

KRPR has supported the team by providing funds for a full kit including tracksuits for the squad. The team, which play in the mid Lancashire colts junior football league will benefit from the kit for the next two seasons.

Our own MD, Kara Rose said: “When the opportunity arose to support this team, it was a no brainer for me! My nephew is actually one of the players as well so this made the decision a very easy one when I was approached.

“My own son also plays Sunday football and so I know all too well how important it is to support junior teams so they are able to keep playing and so the kids can keep enjoying the sport. It was our pleasure to do this and it is a real delight to see the pride on the boys faces as they train and play.”

What our clients say

“Our work with KRPR has been extremely productive since the outset and their team of professionals has enabled us to increase our newly formed brand’s awareness and positioning within the UK marketplace.

“Their dedication, concepts and meticulous work ethic proves to me daily why they are award-winning, which in turn is helping Bolton Whites Hotel to not only reach its goals but exceed them”

Suzanne Speak, General Manager at the Bolton Whites Hotel

We'll get the kettle on and the biscuit tin filled...

KRPR provide a range of PR services across the UK including consumer PR and B2B PR. With offices in the North West, KRPR’s experienced PR team provides a broad range of PR services across a variety of sectors. By working closely with each and every client, we create and deliver PR plans and campaigns that deliver great results.

At KRPR we provide PR services across consumer and B2B PR, including content marketing, copywriting, creative campaigns, crisis PR, internal communications, event management, promotions, media relations, product launches, social media and strategy development. Overall we aim to evaluate all PR activity to ensure we are hitting all of the KPI’s agreed upon with the client.

We have an enviable client list, with national and regional brands, as well as businesses from both the consumer and B2B sectors. Our clients include well known brands Pork Farms, Wall’s Pastry, Gorilla Glue, O’Keeffe’s Company UK and Bolton Whites Hotel, which is situated within the Macron Stadium, home to Bolton Wanderers Football Club. To date we have won all of our clients through word of mouth and referrals from other satisfied clients and partner agencies. From day one we have embodied the philosophy that you can only provide truly excellent PR services if you get under the skin of the clients brand or business. No matter what a business is, from a specialist cleaning business through to a sausage roll manufacturer, we take the time to really understand every aspect of that business. Whether that means spending a day shadowing a specialised cleaning team or meeting all of the staff at a pork pie factory, we go the extra mile to ensure that our PR campaigns are always fresh and always deliver.

Further testimony to the high quality of PR services we provide comes from the awards we have won. These include the CIPR PRide awards where we were finalists and winners in 2013, winners of the best PR and marketing agency 2013 at the Lancashire Business Awards and winners of a Golden Hedgehog award at the PR Moment Awards in 2014. KRPR is one of the only Lancashire PR agencies to win awards from these prestigious North West awards ceremonies held in Manchester.

The PR industry is ever-changing. Each year there are new techniques and new disciplines that must be discovered to keep on top of any developments in the industry. Our way of combatting this is to attend the latest workshops and seminars that will keep us firmly at the forefront of all advances, and keep all clients fully informed of any new services or advice we can offer. Our finger is on the pulse and we invest in all the latest PR systems and technology available to be able to deliver stand out campaigns and media relations across local, county, trade and national press as well as the broadcast landscape.

We work nationally and even internationally with media contacts. Our valued clients are from all areas of the UK in Lancashire, Cumbria, Manchester, Cheshire, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, London and nearly every other county in the UK. We also work nationally with many public sector organisations on various media relations, creative PR campaigns and high impact, community engagement campaigns.

Currently at KRPR we work with a number of clients from a variety of locations across the UK, including Chorley, Preston, Nottingham, Grantham, Spalding, Burnley, Lancaster, London, Bristol and Bolton. The sectors our experience covers include healthcare, fashion and jewellery, travel and tourism, FMCG, hospitality, food and drink, leisure, retail, public sector, digital, baby and toddler, financial services, SME and entrepreneur, property and construction, manufacturing, professional services, IT and telecommunications, education, sport & leisure and DIY. All members of the KRPR team follow detailed personal development plans to ensure everyone is adapting and growing as the industry evolves.

Additionally, as a PR agency we ensure that all members of the team are client facing, as we believe that by working in this way the entire team gains an in-depth understanding of a client’s business. By working in this way, clients build relationships with each and every member of the team regardless of seniority. Every member of the team has a part to play in the running of the accounts and as valued team members they are all involved in all aspects of KRPR life.

To achieve a high standard of results for all of our clients we follow a number of steps. Upon appointment we undertake an in-depth and detailed research program to understand and collect all information on the client, including their history, aims and aspirations. Following this, we develop a 12 month PR plan, broken down into more detailed quarterly targets. As a minimum we meet with clients quarterly to provide detailed PR reviews and together plan the next three months of activity. We provide ongoing regular communication with the client throughout the quarter but believe that by having regular reviews and forward planning meetings both the KRPR team and the client develop a relationship that helps with the delivery of outstanding PR campaigns.
