Agency on target with new clients

during their Enterprise Placement Year – an alternative placement year run by the university’s Enterprise Team at The Duke of York Young Entrepreneur Centre. With the help of the Enterprise Team, the studio has secured additional investment of £1,500 from Santander Universities and £300 from the Kirklees Alternative Market.

Although the team said a lot of work still had to be done before the game could be fully released on to PC, they are seeking further investment to make their dream a reality. They also hope to offer students from the university work-experience so they can find out what it’s like to work on the development of a game for an independent studio. A PR agency in Huddersfield has secured two new clients.

MacComms, based at the 3M Buckley Innovation Centre, Firth Street, will undertake a product launch campaign on behalf of men’s fashion brand Vanacci and help Linthwaite-based vehicle hire firm Arrow Self-Drive with award entries and media engagement.

Since being formed in April, 2015, MacComms has helped more than 50 firms ranging from start-ups and SMEs to national and global brands.

Managing director Ellie MacDonald said: “It is an absolute pleasure to be working with such inspiring businesses in the region. Both Arrow Self-Drive and Vanacci have great plans in the pipeline to drive their businesses forward and we’re excited to be a part of this. We’re looking forward to working on future opportunities together.”
