thebluedoor gets thumbs up from Public Relations Consultants Association (PRCA)

PRLog (Press Release) - May 19, 2009 -
thebluedoor (http://www.thebluedoor.com) has been awarded the Consultancy Management Standard by the Public Relations Consultants Association  – an internationally recognised gold standard of excellence.  Of the UK’s 2,000+ PR agencies, only 109 agencies have passed this rigorous external audit which examines standards in management, communication and service delivery.

Since its launch last April, thebluedoor has defied the economic slowdown, growing in size and client base every quarter. Abigail Harrison, managing director of thebluedoor, attributes the agency’s success to its attention to maintaining excellent standards and its strong digital skills: “As specialists in digital communications we ensure that our clients are well placed to take advantage of social media and the exciting opportunities technology can offer. Businesses recognise the need to adopt digital technologies and put them at the heart of their communication strategies: this is where we come in.”

thebluedoor works with a variety of national and international companies, from Mars Drinks and its FLAVIA and KLIX brands, through to working on the Telegraph Media Group’s social networking site CluedUp. As well as strong digital skills, thebluedoor delivers strategic, creative and valuable PR consultancy and services (http://www.thebluedoor.com/specialist_external_comms_agen...) from press office function, crisis communication through to copywriting.

Abigail continues: “Since we launched the company the global economy has been extremely turbulent, however we are weathering the storm. It’s been a great year for us; we’ve doubled in size, increased our client base and have begun our second year by achieving an industry standard that is recognised globally. We are growing the team and are well placed to come out of the recession with a strong skills base and in robust shape.”  

Francis Ingham, director-general PRCA (http://www.prca.org.uk/) says: “Well run businesses consistently deliver the results clients are looking for. The Consultancy Management Standard was developed specifically to ensure that PRCA members have the systems and structures in place to meet and exceed clients’ expectations. The Standard has been so successful that it has now been adopted in 14 countries around the world.”
