Whatever your public sector marketing needs, speak to us - we’re expert at bringing clarity to complexity in ways that capture audiences’ imagination.

Crisis – hidden homeless campaign

“Lawrence & Pierce created a marketing campaign and audience experience, using sound and art installation to communicate the extent of homelessness. Entering our “box”, you hear stories from homeless people and you can see out but nobody can see in. The campaign is online too so people can lobby their MP electronically. The box is an example of how to think laterally. We have achieved tremendous results against our media goals and saved money as we use the box continually.”

Mark Flanagan, Director of Communications, Crisis.

Sherwood: the Living Legend

L&P created the original branding for Sherwood, the Living Legend and delivered a fantastic website that’s both user-friendly and looks great. The website is crucial in generating support for the bid to win funding from the Big Lottery fund, which in turn will improve the lifestyle, leisure, tourism, health, environment and economy for local people and visitors.

Aberdeen County and Shire Economic Forum

"As a leading player in this exciting initiative - a manifesto for economic change - L&P play a vital role in driving the project. They were integral to the thought leadership process and steering our marketing strategy.

They facilitate meetings, create promotional material and, for our recent summit, produced a slick, targeted DVD, which was taken away by delegates. This event was attended by key decision-makers, including MSPs and business leaders; so inspirational marketing collateral was vital. We were sure L&P could deliver. And they have."

Rita Stephen, ACSEF Development Manager.

Newark Beacon

"L&P have a wealth of knowledge and a successful background in the public sector. Their exciting design proposals and understanding of the local business market gave them the edge. Their business philosophy is a perfect fit for our innovative, inspirational centre. So is their experience in creating identities, messaging, building awareness and managing brand development. The Newark Beacon’s marketing is in safe hands."

Sally Gillborn, Communications Manager, Newark and Sherwood District Council
