Restaurants offering delivery services, fitness venues giving online classes and wholesalers starting to deal directly with consumers are just a few examples of how businesses are getting creative to survive in these fast-paced changing times. To help local companies, Billingshurst-based marketing agency PMW Communications is offering a free ‘creative surgery’ where owners can receive professional advice and guidance.

It could be that a company would like to tap into a new market, change the way it trades, spread a message, or offer something different. Whatever the requirement PMW would like to help with a creative approach.

Peter Sutton, Managing Director of PMW Communications, commented:

“Whilst the government announcements have given some relief in helping ensure much-valued staff will continue to earn a living, for any business owner this is still an extremely scary time.

“Now more than ever local companies need to work together and offer support. We have a team of 36 marketing professionals, so what we can offer is free advice and a creative way to help owners ensure they have a business once the crisis is over. It’s not about developing an idea to rake in the money, but to protect the strong Sussex business community so it can once again thrive.

“Sometimes you are too close to a situation and can’t see what to do, or you know you want to try to reach a new audience but you don’t know how to do it – if this is you, please get in contact and we will be happy to help and give you some guidance.”

Businesses that would like to receive advice from PMW Communications can call 01403 783400 and speak to Peter Sutton or Gina Hollands.
