PR consultancy Beattie Communications has landed three new accounts, picking up Hawes & Curtis, Express Gifts and Infoterra.

Shirt retailer Hawes & Curtis has appointed Beattie to handle the regional PR for its Leeds and Nottingham stores. In each city the agency will run a campaign to raise awareness of the stores among the local business community.

Home shopping company Express Gifts has commissioned Beattie to handle a national campaign, across traditional and online media, to promote its sub-brand 24studio.co.uk.

And Infoterra has tasked the agency to push its 3D city mapping service, Skape, to architects and local authorities through national, regional and trade media.

To help handle the new business Beattie has hired account manager Marie O'Connor, who has previously worked for Ptarmigan Bell Pottinger, Morrisons and Brahm.

The agency is now recruiting for a senior account executive.
