Review of 2011

It’s been another amazing year at Rostrum. 2011 was the year we broke the £1m fees barrier, signed major new clients - including Legal & General, API Software and Ernst & Young - and won a B2B Marketing Award!  We’d like to thank our loyal clients and suppliers for supporting our business this year – and a big thank you to the team for all the amazing work they’ve done.  Rostrum’s 2011 highlights included...

- Retaining so many of our longest-standing clients and continuing to do great work for clients we’ve represented for years – 6 years is our longest-standing client relationship and counting!

- Finding some amazing new Rostrum team members including Victoria Sheridan, Jo Cresswell, Alex Evans and Sam Anderson – with Tatiana Raikes moving from business support to PR Associate

- Flying Hugo to Bangladesh to attend the Climate Vulnerable Forum conference – and placing 3 bylines into the FT, including one from UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon

- Getting Wolters Kluwer Financial Services on the front page of the FT

- Breaking Bestinvest’s yearly coverage target yet again

- Organising a host of news crews at Sodexo to cover ‘Bring your child to work day” during the strikes

- Promoting Project Brokers’ Xbox Kinect business intelligence app

- Investing so much time in our network – this was the year of LinkedIn – and I’m confident we’ll see the results next year

- Introducing a mentoring system across the agency

- The team trips to Barcelona and Hampshire

- Adding the experience of Mark Allatt to our team as a Consultant to develop our presence in professional services

- And breaking the million pound barrier!

Happy Christmas and New Year to all of our readers – see you in 2012!
