Hatch Communications has picked up four new accounts which has led to an expansion of its team.

The Leeds based PR, sponsorship and events team is to raise awareness of new website cricketbetlive.com and handle its national business PR campaign aimed at the sports trade and business media.

Hatch has also been briefed by shower tray manufacturer, JT, to promote its current range and launch its new products to the bathroom trade press.

In addition, the agency has also been appointed by Leeds-based jewellers, Share, and awarded a project with One Medical, targeting students during Freshers’ Fairs to raise awareness of its one-stop shop service for patients, GPs and PCTs in four locations across the UK.

The agency has also recruited PR graduate from Leeds Metropolitan University Anna Wilson to help take on some the new workload and bolster its team which has now reached eight after 12 months in business.

Jason Madeley, managing director, said: “It’s been an exciting and busy first year and the business is growing. We’re delighted to be working with such a fantastic range of clients who are really passionate about what they do. Our results-based approach is proving attractive with clients who are looking for PR to drive added value in the communication mix.”
