GTWO-PR Announces its New UK Location in Manchester

Manchester (April 21, 2008) – Public relations company GTWO-PR proudly announces a new UK location in Manchester. GTWO-PR was founded in Canada by Brit Graham Gartside-Bernier and quickly established itself as one of the most stylish and forward thinking public relations agencies around. 

Previously GTWO-PR’s creative ideas have developed projects for high profile clients in the hospitality, fashion, design, and media industries such as Kanye West’s Hip Hop Jam, Tiesto’s ‘Elements of Life’ Tour, Secrets Deodorant, British Columbia Fashion Week, Komakino Guerrilla Store and international fashion brand, Richard Kidd. 

Founded in Vancouver by Gartside-Bernier but with international reach, GTWO-PR will continue to focus on what it does best – create buzz for the best fashion, lifestyle and culture brands. The move broadens the agency’s portfolio of client offerings, which includes multi-layered branding campaigns with web design, advertising, events, and product placement integrated with public and media relations. 

In conjunction with more traditional public relations, such as working with mainstream influencers to secure media coverage for clients, GTWO-PR specializes in “PR 2.0” –reaching consumers through weblogs, e-newsletters, podcasts, web promotions, and other emerging digital channels. Gartside-Bernier, Founder of GTWO-PR stares, “Our clients will greatly benefit from our dedicated affinity and techno-savvy approach to fashion and trendy social styles.” 

To feature its new services GTWO-PR celebrates with a refreshed looking website and blog: www.gtwo-pr.com. The redesigned web site better reflects the professional, yet contemporary, edgy nature of the firm, and will better serve the needs of clients seeking information about public relations services. The new site also offers user-friendly navigation to quickly access the most popular pages on the site, such as case studies, press releases and clippings, and featured client news.

We had the pleasure of attending the launch of Matthew Williamson’s ’10 Years in Fashion’ exhibition sponsored by Coutts at Manchester’s Urbis.

The crowd was as glamorous as can be expected for such an event as they mingled with Matthew himself. Pear Martinis courtesy of Grey Goose were the the drink du jour and were the perfect compliment to the beautiful designs on display.
