Lumo welcomes us onboard

Award-winning North East train operator Lumo has appointed us as their PR agency, to enhance its awareness and reputation across the UK as a pioneer in eco-friendly travel.

We are partnering with Lumo to run press desk and creative PR campaigns, as well as handling their regional, national and trade media relations to drive conversation and brand love.

Kirsty Ostell, our MD, said: “Having operated in the region for almost 20 years, we have collaborated with some of the North’s most pioneering brands looking to disrupt the norm in their sector. From transport to fashion and tech, we love working with businesses who stand for something big. Lumo is a really exciting business, and we are thrilled to welcome the UK’s most sustainable train operator to our client roster. As a challenger brand in the UK rail industry, there is an appetite for Lumo’s PR to be bold and fun and we can’t wait to help them achieve their goals this year.”

Lumo offers a rail travel experience that is both environmentally friendly and cost-effective for long-distance travel in the UK, providing a fully electric service between Edinburgh and London.

Richard Salkeld, Head of Communications and Partnerships at Lumo, said: “We’re excited to be working with O to support our activities along the Lumo route. As a train company proudly based in the North East, it’s great to work alongside another local business with a team sharing our passion for creativity, innovation and celebrating the contribution we make to the region’s economic, cultural and environmental success story.”

We were named NE Marketing Agency of the Year for the last three years at the NE Marketing Awards. We were also recently named best SME for excellence in people practice at the HR&D awards and our founder Kari Owers is one of the finalists in this year’s Entrepreneurs’ Forum Impact Award category.
