FIG scoops prestigious north of England marketing award

FIG, the High Peak (Glossop)-based marketing agency which this year celebrates its 20th anniversary, has won a prestigious north of England marketing award.

The full-service agency, which provides an integrated range of in-house creative, digital and PR services, has been awarded the Chartered Institute of Marketing Northern Awards large agency prize.

The judges acknowledged FIG’s demonstration of “an on-going and sustained commitment to delivering best practice, while showing a creative and innovative approach to marketing.”

FIG beat off stiff competition from a selection of other agencies, including international marketing consultancy BDB, and Lancashire-based ICG. There were 16 categories in total, 12 of which were open to entries and the evening was hosted by TV’s Andy Crane.

Now in their third year, the CIM awards celebrate the insight, creativity and success of the northern marketing industry, the outstanding campaigns and the talent from across the region.

Said FIG’s managing director, Helen Duncan, who attended the November awards ceremony in Newcastle with members of her team: “We are delighted to have won this award. The CIM is our industry benchmark and this is a great accolade for the team during our 20th anniversary year.”

Starting life in 1996 as copy writing and communications business, First Impression, FIG rebranded as Fig Creative in 2012.

It provides marketing support for clients across a wide range of sectors, including education, manufacturing, food and drink, transport technology and charitable.

This year, the agency has won a number of new clients, including global security system supplier RISCO, leading manufacturer Northwood Hygiene Products and risk management provider for the international process industry, Thermal Fluid Solutions.

In order to service its growing client portfolio, the firm has continued to expand its team, now 17-strong, with the appointment of four recruits within 12 months.
