A LOCAL PR agency is celebrating not only launching its new brand but scooping two major industry awards.

Honey has replaced Renegade, at Chaxhill, near Westbury-on-Severn, to join forces with two other businesses to boost its range of services and export potential.

The CIPR (Chartered Institute of Public Relations) awarded the firm gold in the category Best Use of Digital and silver in Best Use of Social Media.

Both awards were for a campaign the agency created last year for tourism association Visit Bristol. Entitled A Grand Tail, the work involved the creation of a series of videos starring a five-foot high Gromit statue, which were promoted in the UK and overseas in a bid to increase visit numbers to Bristol during the summer.

Mark Terry-Lush, co-founder and partner at Honey, said: "The result of the Grand Tail campaign and winning two prestigious awards gives us great confidence for the future."
