Tangerine pips competition to the post to win PR Agency of the Year
Tangerine PR is celebrating the taste of success after taking home the title of PR Agency of the Year at the inaugral How-Do Awards. Held in Manchester on 24th April 2008, the awards celebrate the best work from the North West’s leading broadcasting, publishing and communications companies.
How-do.com is the region’s leading industry website which, in only one year, has become one of the most read and talked about media platforms in the North West. The 14 awards attracted more than 180 entries; the PR category had a shortlist of six of the region’s most high profile and respected names on it.
Sandy Lindsay, managing director of Tangerine, said: “Tangerine is only six years old and we’ve picked up at least one business accolade a year since we launched. This is testimony to not only all the talented people who work at Tangerine, but also the great clients we have.
“2007 was a truly momentous year for us as a business, with the launch of our London office as well as the foundation of two new teams: Public Affairs and Event Management. And now this award has well and truly topped off our success.”
During 2007 a number of high profile clients including Bob the Builder, Dulux, Emmi, Stagecoach Manchester and Galaxy and Maltesers hot chocolate drinks chose to work with Tangerine.
The awards, judged by panel of acclaimed media figures, looked for examples of companies or organisations which clearly demonstrated transparent success in 2007: growth of the company or reversing decline, managing and overcoming adversities, job creation, financial performance, industry accolades, innovation, staff development and leadership.

Alliance Learning are one of the largest independent training providers in the North West specialising in the recruitment and training of young people through Government funded apprenticeships and the provision of a range of commercial training courses across various industry sectors.
As part of the redevelopment for Alliance Leanring, Cube3 implemented their latest and most powerful Content Management System (CMS) in order to manage current and future content requirements and allow collaborative development between the marketing department at Alliance Learning and Cube3's digital development team.
Chris Owens, Head of Digital at Cube3 comments:
"Having a CMS that is flexbile and simple to use is a massive benefit for organisations who need to frequently add content to their website, without the need for advanced technical skills in-house. For Alliance Learning we were able to deliver a flexible CMS that allowed the client to manage text formatting and upload content effortlessly. Cube3 were involved in every aspect of the redevelopment from the design and development stages to establishing web hosting and initiating CMS training for the client. Alliance Learning are delighted with the CMS and new site that Cube3 developed and we are currently creating an interactive induction CD for new learners at Alliance Learning, which will be released in April".
