GraphicoDMG Wins Claims Direct Account
Digital Marketing Group plc (AIM: DIGI), the UK's largest digital marketing specialist, is pleased to announce that its full service creative digital agency, GraphicoDMG, has won the creative account for Russell Jones & Walker Solicitors personal injury service, Claims Direct.
GraphicoDMG will drive all strategic and creative aspects of Claims Direct's marketing in a role previously seen as the preserve of the traditional advertising agency. Claims Direct's new logo, strapline and positioning, which have been devised by GraphicoDMG, will be launched in a new television commercial in mid-July.
Speaking about the appointment, Andy Hoe, Marketing Director at Claims Direct, said:
'GraphicoDMG's presentation showed us that great creative ideas are not just the domain of traditional advertising agencies. We are convinced that GraphicoDMG will take the number one personal injury brand to the next level.'
Ben Langdon, CEO of Digital Marketing Group added:
'We believe this is the first time a pure digital creative agency has been appointed to lead a commercial above-the-line account. It demonstrates the quality of our offering and that digital agencies are no longer seen as niche players.'
