The Article
We’re proud to learn that one of our projects is featured in the national press. The Daily Mail wrote a piece about our work on one of ‘Britain’s quirkiest offices’, Tank PR in Nottingham’s historic Lace Market.
The Project
It was an absolute pleasure working with Tank PR to create their unique, and if we don’t mind saying so ourselves, pretty cool office! Who wouldn’t love a client that wants to include a bar in their reception as part of the brief?
