FOUR was established as Anglian Publicity Services as long ago as 1963 when the then promotions manager of Anglia Television saw the opportunity to establish one of the first communications agencies outside London.
We then became Inter Regional in the early seventies before rebranding as FOUR in 2008. So we have been around for a long time.
Our ethos is and always has been to deliver great results and absolutely outstanding service for our clients.
Our clients’ success is our success. That’s why we like to get under the skin of our clients and understand how they tick, how the market they operate in works and what is going to work best to deliver the very best outcomes.
We then bring our skills and resources to the fore and, as an extension to your marketing team, we work together to deliver great results.
Our clients work in all kinds of industries and market sectors. They include companies ranging from household names to small and specialist businesses and the public sector too.
Your audience requires immersive storytelling and your brand needs a strong identity. Let your creative narrate your brand story, and let us design it.
Our talented team is passionate about branding. We create memorable and brand-appropriate design. We make sure we understand your brief and what it is you want to achieve. We develop big, creative ideas designed to capture the attention of the people you want to touch with your brand story. And it’s certainly not one size fits all. Our work is engaging, hard-working and creative. After all, everyone appreciates good design.
For us, design is an absolute passion:
We are storytellers
Narrative and stories have power, and our aim is simply to create engaging and effective content that people want to share and talk about.
We listen to what you want to say. We work with you to implement communications strategies and then research and write press releases, articles and features, we copywrite for websites, newsletters, leaflets, brochures, award entries, emails, blogs, adverts, case studies and anything else you task us with. We are proactive and we’re ideas people too, getting brands noticed.
We have contacts
We have been around for a long time so have built up valuable relationships with journalists over the years. As well as newspapers, magazines, radio, TV and trade and business publications, we work with online journalists, influencers and bloggers.
We get results
We work with you to get you noticed, clarify your message, manage your communication and build successful relationships. We love getting results and still get a real buzz seeing what PR can achieve.
Reputation
Things don’t always go to plan and we can provide 24/7 crisis management support to your business. We also provide media training to ensure our clients face the media with confidence.
In fact, we live and breathe PR:
Social and Community Management
Let us work with you to tell a story and engage your customers on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and other key social media channels, driving new audiences to find your brand and creating genuine traction. We offer social media strategy, audits, full social media management and we can train you too.
We can provide content, build a community and ensure you are regarded with trust, and your online reputation is enhanced.
Paid social media advertising
If your goal is to drive leads and make maximum impact on ROI then we can help craft paid social strategies to be seen by the right audience at the right time.
Research and insights
There’s no point doing all this wonderful work, if you can’t measure it. We know social media measurement isn’t black and white (how do you measure sentiment?), but we know how to give you a clear understanding of the analytics your platforms are driving. Intelligent and actionable in the moment results.
