MRA Marketing celebrates 25 years of big ideas
MRA is celebrating 25 years of helping businesses achieve ambitious goals.
Based in Wotton-under-Edge, MRA Marketing employs over 20 people, many of whom live locally. It also attracts employees from further afield with a number of staff commuting daily from Bristol, Cirencester and Cheltenham.
MRA Marketing is a Business to Business (B2B) agency specialising in building materials, construction and home improvement markets. The company works with ‘blue chip’ clients including several international plcs. It has held a Top 3 position in the Construction Marketing Awards for the past 4 consecutive years, winning a total of 11 times and finalist 18 times.
MRA Marketing uses a range of services to help companies grow: consultancy; strategic PR; design; social media management; video, and market research.
The company itself has grown rapidly in recent years and as a result Lucia Di Stazio was appointed Managing Director in July, having been employed by MRA Marketing for 19 years. She is supported by recently-appointed Director Jane Evans, an employee of 13 years, and Associate Director, Nadia Hall.
“We’ve come a long way in the 25 years since I started MRA,” explains founder and CEO Mike Rigby. “Some clients have commented that Wotton is a beautiful location but an unusual place to have a marketing agency with a number of significant clients. However, we’ve found many talented and creative people in the area and they’ve wanted to stay with us for a long time. Our team is knowledgeable and enthusiastic and it is their unswerving commitment that’s made the business what it is today. We’re always on the lookout for more people of the same standard to join us.”
Lucia adds, “We’re entering a really exciting phase and it’s one that I am extremely proud to lead. We have a strong team and we attract and work with customers who share our appetite for big ideas.”
If you’d like to be part of an ambitious company with a growing team, call 01453 521621 and follow @MRAMarketing on Twitter.
