Stage9 Marketing is set to open a new office in Lancaster this month as part of its plans to expand its client base by focusing on the city’s ‘substantial business potential’.

The Preston-based PR and marketing agency will take up residence on Castle Hill in the centre of the city, within the building occupied by marketing consultancy Charter Solutions.

The agency expects to make a number of new client announcements from the Lancaster area in the coming weeks.

Colin Sneath, director of Stage9, explained: “If you’re serious about Lancaster and its potential you need to have a physical presence there. We know there are a number of agencies based in Preston and beyond who wish to tap into the Lancaster market but we believe we are the first to show our real commitment by opening an office in the city.”

Stage9 was founded in July 2008 to provide Public Relations and Marketing Services support to North West businesses.
