Brand8 PR wins virtualDCS contract
Dienstag, 24 August 2010
Leeds-based firm Virtual Data Centre Services (virtualDCS) has appointed PR agency Brand8 PR to manage its business-to-business public relations work.
Established in 2008, VirtualDCS specialises in cloud computing, cloud hosting and business continuity services.
Richard May, director of Leeds-based virtualDCS, said: "We appointed Brand8 PR after a three-way pitch because they demonstrated a clear understanding of our offer and proposed integrated activity focused on raising our profile and creating the environment for sales.
"With cloud computing rapidly shifting the way in which businesses manage their IT, we're looking forward to working with the Brand8 PR team to help create commercial opportunities."
The firm's clients include IHR Group, Auto Windscreens and Scarborough & North East Yorkshire Healthcare NHS Trust.
Brand8 PR managing director Rob Smith said: "Organisations which embrace cloud computing will make themselves more cost effective, responsive and flexible which are all attributes that help underpin growth. What virtualDCS does delivers tangible business benefits and seriously questions the validity and cost of physical servers.
"The cloud isn't going to go away, its applications are only going to become more varied and larger in scale and virtualDCS is perfectly positioned to capitalise on this opportunity."
