Andreas Emmanuel, Founder and CEO of Emmanuel Marketing, has announced that his firm will be offering businesses in the North East of England a new discount on all marketing services over the coming year, as the firm seeks to build a foothold in the region as well as support small- and medium-sized businesses struggling with the impact of COVID-19.
The scheme will be focused on businesses that are headquartered in the North East of England, including Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, Gateshead, Darlington, Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees and Hartlepool.
Awarding up to a quarter of their final bill, the scheme is restricted to the first ten businesses that apply because Emmanuel Marketing will be focussed on ensuring that all those businesses who are able to access the consultancy’s marketing support are given a top-grade service.
Andreas Emmanuel, Founder of Emmanuel Marketing said: “Businesses in the North East have been hit particularly hard by the coronavirus pandemic, and we want to do everything we can to help them. Often companies in regions like this are overlooked because they aren’t in London or the South East. We want to show that when you’re armed with the right marketing firepower, your company can thrive no matter where it is in the country.”
The coronavirus pandemic has had an extremely negative impact on the prospects of small and medium-sized businesses across the country. According to a recent McKinsey online survey of UK SMEs, more than half view the country’s economy as very or extremely weak, and half expect market stagnation or recession.
Additionally, Emmanuel Marketing sees the opportunity for fast rates of growth over the coming five years in the North East region, and viewed this scheme as a positive, yet impactful, way to build a strong foothold in the market.
Andreas Emmanuel said: “As someone from the North East myself, it’s important for me that my team is able to give back to the area. The region produces some of the UK’s best and brightest, so it’s only natural that the companies being built there are some of the most exciting to work with.”
“We’re looking forward to working with the businesses in the North East because these projects have always been some of our favourites in the past. We hope that we can go some way towards unlocking the potential of the region, especially given the difficulties faced there in the past year.”
Businesses are encouraged to get in contact with Andreas Emmanuel to discuss their needs individually, although the scheme will award support to those businesses who the consultancy deems to be in the most need.
