Engage Comms Ltd, a B2B marketing communications consultancy which works with niche sector organisations with purpose including membership and trade associations, has been shortlisted in the Agency of the Year category of the Association Excellence Awards 2024.
The Association Excellence Awards celebrates and encourages the vital work that associations, trade bodies, professional organisations and chartered institutes do for and on behalf of their members to ensure their voices are heard and their causes are championed. This year’s new ‘Agency or Supplier of the Year’ category recognises those serving the association market, enabling their clients to advance their aims and enhance the industry they work within.
Since being appointed to carry out an in-depth piece of consumer/stakeholder perception research for the UK trade body for the debt purchase and collections sector (Credit Services Association) in 2013, Engage Comms has built a wealth of experience working with membership associations as an innovative, well-respected fully outsourced marketing communications partner which has a track record of delivering tangible, long-term impact on both social and commercial aims.
Engage Comms’ current clients include not-for-profit membership organisation Money Advice Liaison Group (MALG) and Civil Court Users Association (CCUA), both of which consider the consultancy a core part of their operations and a trusted strategic adviser. From cost effective, innovative websites and social media strategies, to strategic event maximisation and membership engagement, Engage Comms builds the profile, influence, credibility and networks of membership associations in niche sectors to help them to communicate their complex messages with the right people in the right place at the right time.
Helen Gill, Founding Director of Engage Comms Ltd, said:
“We believe that expert comms and engaging content should be at the centre of any membership association’s strategy. Associations exist to represent and support their members and they must not only effectively communicate with them, but act as their eyes and ears by engaging with wider stakeholders. We love getting under the skin of our membership organisation clients’ sectors to enable them to be thought leaders and influencers – and we pride ourselves on finding low-cost, innovative ways of doing so to ensure members get maximum return on investment.
“As a boutique, Yorkshire-based consultancy, it’s fantastic to be named as a finalist in the Association Excellence Awards as a leading supplier to the sector nationally.”
The winners of the Association Excellence Awards 2024 will be announced at a ceremony in London on 8 November.
