IT company ITogether has appointed Ptarmigan Bell Pottinger to handle its PR account.

The Leeds agency's brief is to raise the profile of ITogether among IT directors and SMEs in Yorkshire and the North West.

Nathan Lane, director of Ptarmigan Bell Pottinger, said: "ITogether is a technology company intent on cutting through the techy jargon that its competitors are fond of, opting instead to present itself to the market in a much more human way.

"We’re tasked with helping the ITogether team communicate these messages through traditional and social channels, reinforcing its collaborative approach, straight talking consultancy and smart technology solutions for businesses.”
