UK Enterprise Awards 2022

11 | UK Enterprise Awards 2022 Award-winning Dorcas Media based in Plymouth, Devon, is celebrating 9 fantastic years in business, and proud to have won the ‘Most Innovative PR Agency 2022’ title. The independent PR Agency is run by Directors Kevin Kelway and Ian Fleming that are also a husband-and-husband team - and been together for 30 years. Dorcas Media punches above its weight on the UK and global stages - and considers itself a boutique that is its strength, and not a weakness, said Managing Director, Kevin Kelway. Mr Kelway, said: “The COVID pandemic has shifted the picture for local, regional, and national businesses from working away from large London centric agencies - to smaller and specialist PR agencies.” “At Dorcas Media, we offer a specialised tailormade service for all your needs for B2B Public Relations, where the same-old tactics simply don’t cut it anymore, and where creativity is the key,” he said. “We offer greater team flexibility, and we are on call when you need us, with specific sector knowledge in winning award applications for clients, film making videos, trained journalists, story telling, digital specialists,” said Mr Kelway. Sales Director, Ian Fleming, commented: “We are an award-winning community campaigner, and use PR to enhance SEO alongside other communications activity, or, using PR to support and deliver sales and inquiries.” “All of these disciplines require the same level of strategic know-how and creativity as general Public Relations - and we have been delivering over the last 9 years,” he said. “We have a great track record in helping to organise trade missions, events, and third-party endorsements for our customers for the full duration of our contracts-not just beauty parades at the start.” Mr Kelway, said: “Every local business needs to be media savvy today, especially with the fragmentation of traditional and online news outlets across the UK and globe.” “Our agency ensures the stories we create is more than words and images on a screen or page.” “We know that great media campaigns come from proper PR strategies, that is robust data and insight,” he said. “Yes, demonstrating the value of PR with your business model - is wired into our approach with measurement matters, and not just PR flattery.” Dorcas Media is a proud Silver/Bronze UK Armed Forces Covenant signee, and recognised in our working supporting the UK’s Armed Forces communities. Award-winning Dorcas Media is a proud Devon Business Champion, EXPORT Advocate, South West Media PR provider winner, with Kevin Kelway being an SMK Community Community Campaigner, SME Business Judge. Dorcas Media is also a member of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations, International Public Relations Association, Public Relations and Communications Association, and Institute of Export.
