Marketing agency makes a leap-year gift

Business people with creative ideas could benefit from a rare boost this February as members of the team at one of Cornwall’s leading marketing agencies are donating their spare leap-year day to deserving businesses.
Falmouth-based Eight Wire, which works for a wide range of businesses helping them to plan and deliver marketing and communications projects to their audiences, is offering its services free of charge to celebrate the leap year.
Eight Wire delivers marketing-related projects across a broad spectrum including branding, SEO, print design, social media campaigns, public relations, email marketing and graphic design. It also offers marketing training and workshops that help businesses to plan their marketing and growth efforts.
Eight Wire takes its name from the No.8 gauge of metal wire widely used for fencing and, as such, was a critical item of equipment taken by European settlers moving to new lives in New Zealand in the 1860s.
“Based on the Eight Wire ethos of achieving remarkable results with limited resources,” said Sara Pugh, the agency’s MD, “we wanted to celebrate the leap year and the extra day by offering a little piece of Eight Wire to those who have a genuine need.
“In order to avail yourself of a free day of our team’s time — you could be an existing client or someone completely unknown to us — you just have to have a good idea that needs a keen and able digital marketing team to bring it to life”
To enter people are asked to visit the Eight Wire website and fill in a digital form explaining what their project is and how they think a bit of assistance from a team of digital marketing experts could help.
Sara added: “The project does not have to require a full day’s work. It could be any project the client has coming up that they would like our help with. It could be a day donated by us as part of a bigger project or it could be a small tweak that takes only a couple of hours. It’s up to those entering to get us excited.”
