Engage Comms was brought on board in 2012 to act as an extension of the Harry Fairclough business development team, creating a communications culture from within. Our role was to create engaging content that told the story of what they do to prospective clients in a wide range of targeted sectors and we could regularly be found donning our hardhats and high vis vests, visiting sites across the North of England and interviewing the experts from architects to engineers.
The fully integrated content marketing support that we delivered on an ongoing basis for Harry Fairclough included:
We also developed and launched a new responsive website, complete with a careers section tied to an employer branding and internal communications programme we rolled out to help the firm recruit and retain the talent it needed to grow.
We won awards for our work with Harry Fairclough including ‘Best Use of Digital’ and ‘Best Community Relations’ campaigns at our industry awards, CIPR Yorkshire & Lincolnshire Pride in 2014 and 2016 respectively.

“Engage Comms has the ability to bring to life our skills, expertise and USPs in a compelling way, which really resonates with prospective and existing clients and saves us time, meaning we can focus on what we do best. As a result the return on investment they deliver is almost off the scale.”
