Agility PR’s News

Agility PR has secured a project to produce full length case studies for Video Management Software (VMS) market leader Milestone in the UK. Milestone recently moved to new offices in the Midlands and now has offices right around the world. The confirmation of the brief follows a pilot which Agility PR completed successfully earlier this year.

Agility PR has won a brief to help raise the profile of Cambridge Online which is a leading IT systems and services provider with CRM and ERP software implementation expertise. Work will focus on raising the firms’ profile in the regional, local, business, IT and marketing trade, as well as some vertical sector trade media in due course.  Cambridge Online recently hired a new managing director to spear-head the next period of growth for the established company.

Agility PR, one of the UK’s fastest growing technology public relations consultancies’, has won a brief to provide public relations for leading IP video transmissions innovator Veracity.

Veracity has developed a family of innovative IP networking products to support IP-Video Surveillance projects. These products solve practical connectivity problems in system design and deployment. It focuses on transmission, storage and display solutions for IP Video. It has specific expertise in PoE (Power over Ethernet) and in enabling high bandwidth mega-pixel network video systems. The company has offices in the US and UK and its products sell right across the world – both direct to system integrators and via a network of distributors.

The brief will initially focus on increasing media relations and coverage output linked to new products and services that Veracity will be launching in the coming months.

Alistair McLeod, managing director, Veracity Limited:

“We want to be more widely known for our deepening specialism in specific technology areas like Power over Ethernet. We also want to clearly position ourselves as the security installers’ friend. Much of our innovation comes from feedback from the firms that are installing this new technology. Where there are solutions needed to make their lives easier then we create these tools.”

Miles Clayton, founder & managing director of Agility PR commented:

“It is great to be working with a company that believes so wholeheartedly in building a community in order to sell effectively. Veracity really believes installers, solutions providers, integrators, specifiers, specialist software, network camera and video management system providers need to work together to increase the size and opportunity of the market as a whole. It is great to be selected as part of the team to help join up these stakeholders.”
