Calibre Celebrates 25 Years

Released by: Calibre Marketing

Silver Jubilee for Marketing & Communications Agency

Celebrating a quarter century in business, Calibre Marketing has been helping clients fly higher for 25 years this autumn. During that time, the company with a hot air balloon as its logo, has taken many clients, from multinationals to small businesses, to new heights.

Founded before the millennium - doesn’t that sound a long time ago! - in 1998, Calibre commenced at the same time as Google was founded, the Angel of the North was erected, construction of the Millennium Dome commenced, the first Euro coins were minted and the first MP3 player was launched for sale!

What started as two sheets of A4 paper, written when Martyn, the founder and owner of the business, woke up in the middle of one night, Calibre has marketed many different companies and organisations over the years. Some of those clients have been with the business for over 10 or even 15 years and many of the Calibre Crew have been with the company for similar lengths of time.

The early morning handwritten notes included how the company would be established, that it would offer consultancy and outsourced marketing services, the name of the company, which derives from the hot air balloon flown by Martyn and his father at the time, and even a list of potential associate providers of services, such as website and graphic design, and even possible clients. One or two of those are actually still customers today!

Calibre took off with two major clients, a supplier to Nobo, one of Martyn’s previous employers, who immediately requested a meeting and came to an arrangement, plus a property company, which would have been an early forerunner to Rightmove, had the conditions at the time been suitable.

Calibre has a committed crew, comprising account managers, who work very closely and as part of the in-house team of clients, complemented by specialists in particular marketing aspects and activities such as website optimisation, online marketing, media and press relations, social media, branding etc etc. Calibre has a portfolio of quality clients across many different products and services.

Calibre provides a high level of personal service. To find out how they can take your business to new heights, please see www.caibremarketing.co.uk or call 01323 487330.
