We are pleased to announce that we have been shortlisted in the CIPR Excellence Awards for ‘Best External Publication’.

The news comes only three months after winning a gold award at the CIPR PRide North East Awards for ‘Best Publication’.

The publication is for the production of Byker News – a quarterly newsletter for all tenants on behalf of our client Byker Community Trust.

Craig Downs, Managing Director of Up North Communications, said:

“This is fantastic news for the business to be shortlisted for a national award. We work extremely hard to deliver an excellent product for our client and their customers and produce a publication that they are proud of. We manage the full production of each issue from planning and copywriting, right through to design, print, fulfilment and distribution. Good luck to all those shortlisted.”

Up North Communications is one of six companies shortlisted in the category and the final will be held on 6 June 2017 in London.

 

We have just completed our latest corporate video for client, Durham Tees Valley Community Rehabilitation Company.

The short video was commissioned by the Business Development Team and provides viewers with a background about the organisation, the services they deliver within the community and the positive impact this has on their participants.

Our involvement included everything from concept development, writing the script, shot list, liaising with staff colleagues to co-ordinate filming within their two district centres, community hubs and working with the production team from inception through to final completion.
