Support for Cambridge Roar

Our PR team has been appointed by The Cambridge Roar to handle a highly focused consumer and business PR campaign, to promote a series of charitable events which take place in July 2014.
The Cambridge Roar is a brand new initiative, organised by The Chairman and Board members of Cambridge Roar Limited, who are all part of the Munro Group, owners of Best Western PLUS Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel and Spa. It involves a week-long series of diverse events, all hosted to raise money on behalf of The Prince’s Trust.

The Cambridge Roar was conceived by its Chairman, Tony Murdock, who is also the General Manager of the Quy Mill Hotel, as a vehicle to support the Prince’s Trust and raise the profile of the Cambridgeshire region.

He said:

“KISS PR impressed us with an exciting integrated strategy, which not only involved traditional PR, but also focused on social outreach across an array of platforms. We’re delighted to be working with the KISS team to raise the profile of the Cambridge Roar ensuring we communicate the initiative to a broad audience.”

Our MD of KISS PR, Justine Smithsaid: “With such a great mix of events, our team of consumer and business PR specialists are looking forward to delivering a targeted campaign directly in line with the broader brand plans to help put the Cambridge Roar on the map.”

The first event kicks off on Wednesday 16^th July with ‘Lunch with an Old Bag’, a Prince’s Trust tried and tested concept.
