❤️ Love was truly in the air this February - take a look at our round up of activity from last month ❤️

Ella completed her first shift at during the Valentine’s Special Chester Craft Market, such a great market. Meanwhile at , ECHO PR marked World Kindness Day with live music and coffee for commuters. With Manchester Piccadilly closed that whole week, the station was busier than usual and this great gesture was very well received 👏

Valentine’s Day made a feature across many of our campaigns - at we launched Love Letters, placing gift vouchers (for 2) across the city centre for people to discover. At the same time, a rather besotted office from sent Valentine’s cards to selected businesses across (IYKYK) 😅.

Taylor and Ella got a sneak preview of the newly furnished and fitted suite at Eden at New Bailey, we launched the South at Cheadle Royal website and the team started filming at 52 Princess Street as part of newly instructed marketing activity.

We attended the Salford100 launch at Salford Museum & Art Gallery and carried out a full site visit for the Untold History Centenary Trail up at Crescent Salford (deadline for entries 9 March!) We also received some fantastic entries for the Old Police HQ art installation - watch this space for more on that over the next month or so...

Some of the team headed to the Creative Industries Council mixer at Aviva Studios whilst others spent a very enjoyable evening filming a baking session at The Big Bakes 🎂👨‍🍳

We went a little bit viral on TikTok when little Chip attended Picturehouse’s dog friendly screening of Wuthering Heights at Chester Northgate 🐾 and with Hector making a guest appearance in the office too - we’ve been inundated with cute doggos.

Finally, Poppy Keegan came to the office for work experience throughout Feb! A huge help to the team 👏
