Happy Birthday Innesco!

Hi there - it’s our birthday today – we’re 11! We happen to share our birthday with Pamela Anderson, Debbie Harry and the late Diana, Princess of Wales. Three distinct personality types but which one is Innesco most like? We’d like to think we’re as upfront as Pamela, as rockstar as Debbie and as iconic as Diana.

It seems strange to think a whole year has rolled by since our tenth birthday but then dates doesn’t seem to mean much at the moment - one consequence of lockdown is the inability to know what day of the week it is, month or even season we’re in! Gone are the usual calendar markers to define where in the year we are, but we remain on target as a business.

What we do know is that since 2009 we have been building Innesco. No longer are we a start-up, no longer are we just a few years old, but now, in 2020, we’re 11 and that means heritage, continuity and staying power.

"As Managing Director, I’m very proud of all the company has achieved in these 11 years as we have built a reputation as specialists in business marketing for real estate and the built environment. As a progressive marketing communications agency expert in B2B marcomms, we’re the leading independent agency in our field."

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our clients. We’ve loved working with all our inspirational, innovative and ambitious companies and teams. I’d also like to thank the Innesco team who have tirelessly built the brand and company into what it is today.

As we turn a year older I’ve been reflecting on the last few months and especially the changes we’ve faced due to Covid-19 and the global pandemic. Our core client base, retail property owners, have been impacted by the lockdown, but have shown resilience. As the harsh reality became apparent earlier in the year the Innesco team adapted, pivoted and worked tirelessly and seamlessly to support our client base.

The new marketplace and operational reality has presented challenges and opportunities for all real-estate businesses at every stage of the property lifecycle. Before this global pandemic, the opportunity cost of poor communication (and marketing/PR) was huge, and too often proved terminal. Today, effective strategic communications has become THE pivotal factor for survival - impacting political, investment and leasing sentiment.

Over the last 11 years we have represented just under 400 major real estate companies, owners, portfolios, projects, councils and industry bodies from the UK, Europe and further afield (check out our map below!).

If there is a particular project or initiative - whatever stage of planning, design, development or management you’re at - our expert team can assess your potential then identify, propose and implement what really needs to be done. We're here to guide, protect, maintain and grow value.

As we start to emerge from lockdown I’m looking forward to meeting up in person with everyone very soon – when it’s safe to do so!

In the meantime, please do book in a Zoom call for a catch-up. I can’t promise birthday cake but I can promise an insightful look into how Innesco can help articulate your success.

Happy Birthday Innesco!
