Jane Moyo, head of media relations, said: “Our work with Romeike has helped develop the way we report to management and impacted positively upon the perception of the media team within the organisation. We can now measure and manage our communications output more effectively, ensure core brand messages are reflected in every campaign and establish a unique brand within an extremely competitive environment.”
Edward Bird, Romeike’s Value Added Services Director, said: “In the not-for-profit sector a charity’s brand profile is crucial to raising funds and support.
