Stone based marketing company established during lockdown grows team

BethanDespite starting Concept Communications the day before the second Covid-19 lockdown, Kathryn Hyde (31) from Stone has beaten the odds in battling through multiple lockdowns to establish a strong and stable business.

Kathryn, the founder of Concept Communications, told A Little Bit of Stone,

“We’ve almost quadrupled our workload in the past six months and needed to invest in some new talent to help us continue to deliver the incredibly pleasing results for clients that we’ve experienced to date.

“We’re currently experiencing a very strong growth trajectory that has come about predominantly as a result of our current clients recommending us to other businesses. It’s testimonial to our core values of honesty, transparency and delivering with a sense of urgency that matches the needs of our clients. Our clients genuinely trust that our advice is in their best interest, and we’ve proven that with some of the case studies from retained clients who have taken advantage of our strategic planning services.

“Bethan Griffiths joins us as Digital Marketing Assistant, having impressed me through a rigorous recruitment process and beating over 40 other suitably qualified applicants. I am thrilled to welcome Bethan to the team; she is competent, bright, enthusiastic and has already demonstrated incredible insight into the needs of our clients’ markets, and a deep customer empathy.

“As an experienced copywriter, she will help to craft client communications ranging from press releases and blogs, to email campaigns, literature, and social media content.”

“It’s incredibly exciting to be joining the team at such a key stage in the business’ growth. The company’s ethos of collaboration and support shines through in all interactions with colleagues and clients and my short time with the company has already offered me many opportunities to utilise my skills and grow as a professional.”

Due to recent new client wins, Concept Communications are also recruiting for a Website and SEO Specialist, as well as a Client Development Manager.
