A new marketing, design and copywriting business has launched in Shrewsbury with the local team behind it offering more than 40 years’ industry experience to clients.
Key 3 Media is the sister company of thebestof Shrewsbury, which is already working with more than 400 recommended businesses to promote their services.
Directors Andy and Emma Rao, from the town, are now extending their experience into Key 3 Media, to provide a series of marketing disciplines. From social media management and copywriting to design and photography, Key 3 Media is already enabling companies to grow in the current climate rather than simply survive.
Andy said: “Emma and I are both from Shrewsbury but we met in London where we have worked in for companies such as Carlton TV, Primesight Outdoor and Pearl & Dean Cinema Advertising. We were lucky enough to be involved in marketing projects for the likes of Orange, Volkswagen and GlaxoSmithKline.
“Since moving back to our home county of Shropshire, we have focused more on small to medium sized businesses and have got to know a lot them very well through thebestof and also various networking events, hearing what business owners are looking for and some of the difficulties they may be experiencing.
“Key 3 Media is an extension of thebestof with a core team in place with their own particular skills, including our journalist and PR specialist, Catherine Roche.”
Emma said that helping promote local businesses, many of which are independents, has always been important.
“We have been running thebestof Shrewsbury for six years,” said Emma. “The business showcases recommended shops and services through our website, social media channels and e-newsletters.
“We have a good understanding of what consumers are looking for and how marketing needs to be tailored to their needs. And now with Key 3 Media, we are well placed to help businesses on a national level as well as locally. We already have clients in London and are really excited about the additional marketing benefits we can offer, as well as an honest, friendly and reliable service,” she added.
Key 3 Media is already growing its portfolio alongside thebestof and making its mark with clients.
Steph Williams, Director of The Shrewsbury Adventure Rope Course and Activity Centre, has taken his to the company the next level by having a professional materials designed by Key 3 Media.
He said: “’I used Key 3 Media to handle the publicity for an event that we ran. They took time out to understand what the event was about and also what we wanted from it. She then researched what to do with the event and who to give the information to plus they got a whole lot more people interested that we were expecting. I wholeheartedly recommend Key 3 Media. They far exceeded our expectations. Let them do the same for you.”
