A Preston marketing firm is on the shortlist for a regional industry award.

Freshfield, based on Winckley Square, is competing for the Business to Business Campaign of the year at the Northern Marketing Awards.

A campaign run by the firm for Lancashire County Council has promoted its £7.2 million Lancashire Business Growth Hub.

Simon Turner, managing director at Freshfield, said: “It’s good news for the campaign to be shortlisted and recognised for its success but winning the award would be a brilliant achievement given the calibre of brands involved.”

Boost Business Lancashire was the campaign launched by Freshfield to help create 1,200 new jobs and grow the county’s economy by £20 million.

The results are announced at the Northern Marketing Awards ceremony on October 16 in Manchester.
