Six new clients in strong launch for Altitude

31st May 2022

New South Yorkshire PR agency Altitude has wrapped up a successful first full quarter by winning six new clients.

The B2B PR specialist launched in February with an established client base and has added major projects with Henry Boot Construction, chartered surveyor Fowler Sandford, Kirklees Council, Barnsley Council, Barnsley Museums and Sheffield City Council to its portfolio.

Altitude, a dedicated PR arm of Sheffield-based communications agency Counter Context, aims to deliver ambitious PR for ambitious businesses and organisations.

Highlights of the year so far include supporting Kirklees Council with public communications and PR on their £210m Cultural Heart development scheme in Huddersfield, strategic advice and planning with Sheffield City Council on their ‘See It Be It’ career engagement initiative, and being appointed by Henry Boot Construction to deliver profile-raising PR services across the north of England.

Altitude PR Director Jane Whitham reflected:

“When we launched Altitude, we were determined to hit the ground running and we’re delighted to have added several heavyweight clients and in the first three months. We are committed to producing the best quality work, service and results for all our clients.

“Across the north, and particularly in South Yorkshire, we do not shout enough about the amazing things that businesses and organisations are doing.

“Altitude is working closely with clients to develop and implement impactful PR strategies which help organisations evolve and help businesses unlock their potential.”

The core team is headed up by PR Director Jane Whitham, Senior Account Manager Adam Reeves-Brown and PR Associate Tom Chapman.

Altitude, which also works with online retailer Mattress Online, environmental consultancy Arcus and offshore wind supplier Ørsted, benefits from operational support from Counter Context, with offices in Sheffield, Manchester and London.
