When Gateshead City Learning Centre needed help delivering an advertising campaign to promote our services, informnorth provided a top class service. The team produced some great work including posters, A4 leaflets, maps to the new promises and folders for containing our promotional material. All work produced was within time and budget.

We have worked in partnership with Informnorth for the past three years to help raise and maintain our own profile within the North East. I have consistently received a high level of service and the bespoke material produced is always of a high quality and standard. The team there are a pleasure to deal with and are very aware of their clients’ requirements.

Informnorth is the only publication of its kind in the North East and takes the lead on employee skills and development – an important key priority area. With some fantastic ideas and opportunities in the pipeline I’m looking forward to watching the magazine grow and develop whilst continuing to provide a hub for regional and national skills development campaigns.

Informnorth have consistently provided an excellent service to Horden Parish Council. The service and advice that we have been given has allowed us to produce a wide range of materials from invitations for prestigious national council events to the guidance booklet for the Parish Cemetery. I approached informnorth when our newsletter was ready for an update and the end result has received plaudits from the highest level, gaining third place in the national awards competition that took place this year.

The team at informnorth produce the Derwentside Business & Community Directory to help service a local need and this has been an excellent resource for all local businesses and members of the wider community. It’s colourful and vibrant as well as being very informative with lots of useful details about the area, along with the key business listings and contact details we needed.

Get On In County Durham is a special guide that was produced on behalf of Durham County Council by informnorth. It has proven to be an excellent resource for anyone in the area looking for new learning opportunities within the community. The format of the publication was exactly what was required and this has been successful in capturing the target audience’s attention, spurring more people to take action.

Having used informnorth on numerous occasions to advertise the facilities at Enterprise City I have always been very pleased with results and received a positive response. In my capacity of Chair for Business Clubs North East the magazine has continually approached the business start up and growth agenda both thoughtfully and in ways that actually bring supporting agencies and organisations together.
|
Not content with just producing a brilliant directory they also put all of the key information on line for at www.derwentsidedirectory.co.uk where members of the public and all businesses can use the searchable database to contact each other easily. New businesses can also add their details to the existing database online and this is updated straight away - this is a nice touch and an example of how they go much further than many others – often just because they can and want to.

Informnorth is a great resource and is totally unique. I actually look forward to receiving my copy of the magazine. No other publication in the North East covers skills, education and enterprise to such a wide target audience and at different levels. Whether you’re a school leaver looking to further your education, returning to work, already employed but wanting to develop new skills or looking to start up in business there’s something in the magazine for just about everyone.

The team at informnorth were extremely supportive when the school considered bidding for Business and Enterprise status. Informnorth magazine was just the ticket when we wanted to develop new partnerships with the local community and advertise sponsorship opportunities to local businesses. The team also helped us raise the profile of a specific event we held to attract further help and support and kindly donated an excellent first prize for the pupil’s competition. Informnorth provided an excellent all round, supportive and helpful service.

The case studies and success stories featured in informnorth are down to earth and often inspirational. It’s of real use to be able to actually read about people from all parts of the North East who are passing on details of their own experiences. The magazine continually recognises that everybody is different. We are all individuals and informnorth actually inspires readers, highlighting where you can turn first for help and advice and showing how you can succeed on your chosen path, whatever that may be.

From the very first issue of the magazine Acumen Community Enterprise Trust has always believed in and supported the objectives of informnorth. It can’t be easy to produce a single publication that has so much appeal to so many people and I think that makes it even more special. From advertising within the magazine to asking the team for their advice and expertise for strategic community campaigns we have never been disappointed.
|
| When the team at informnorth approached me to appear in the magazine I didn’t hesitate at the chance. As a magazine with strong social values, I really like the way it signposts individuals to organisations and agencies that can really help you to achieve your ambitions and goals. The content is never patronising and certainly very inspiring, a real leader in championing the cause for enterprise and skills. |

Science is one of the key areas we need to increase the level of skilled and qualified workers within our region. When informnorth decided to include a feature looking at the opportunities within the industry it was vital that CELS was involved. I was delighted with the finished product with snap shot facts and inspiring case studies. The feature did a brilliant job of informing the people of the region exactly what’s available to them. I look forward to being involved with similar features in the future.

The design team at informnorth have created some excellent publicity material on behalf of the University of Sunderland, particularly the Business and Law school. From information leaflets and documents to post cards and articles within their inspirational magazine, the work produced is always appealing and exactly to our specific requirements. We’ve have enjoyed an unrivalled media partnership over the years and the team have been first rate at providing advice of the best way to achieve our advertising objectives within the given budget.

Time after time the service received from informnorth has been outstanding. Over recent years the team have designed and produced newsletters, annual review documents and delivery plans to a consistent high standard. The team have always gone out of their way to help, to the extent of organising a photographer to visit the villages and take new vibrant images of the community in action to use within our documents. The Pathfinder newsletter “The Buzz” is always vibrant and colourful and an excellent medium for engaging with the community.

PPD offer a wide range of solutions for press, print and presentation. At the beginning of 2007 we needed to expand and move into new premises. We had to be sure both current and potential clients were aware of the move, to avoid the detrimental effect of losing business and contacts. We decided a special feature within informnorth would be an excellent way to get PPD in front of thousands of new and old clients within the region. Producing the feature was painless with the support of the dedicated team at informnorth. They arranged everything from photographs to support advertisements from our suppliers and the response we got was fantastic.

Informnorth magazine was the natural choice of medium when looking to promote the rewarding career opportunities within the childcare sector. With such a wide and varied readership we knew our message would get to our target audience. The special feature included a variation of case studies from successful local people already working within the industry including several men, one of the key target areas we need to promote the opportunities to. I was equally impressed with the eye catching poster campaign produced by the team to attract more men to the childcare industry and proved to be very successful in raising the CoVE’s profile.
|
When we wanted to raise the profile of all the fantastic achievements of the CSV training programme for the unemployed, informnorth magazine included a special feature as well as producing a stand alone document for our own purposes. The piece was very well thought out, containing all the relevant information and also well designed.
|

When I needed to produce a newsletter to engage with nearly 3,000 residents in the local constituency I knew the team at informnorth would be able to help. Their advice and support in producing the document has been second to none. The final product was a great design and very fit for its purpose, not over complicated and easy to read.

We approached informnorth when we need to revamp the leaflets promoting the courses at South West Durham Training to a young target audience. They produced some great work and came up with many creative solutions and ideas. The team were great to work with and the whole process was trouble free.

I really believe in the social ethic of informnorth and the fact that it promotes enterprise for all. It’s all about stepping out of your comfort zone to reach your goals and fulfil your potential and for me, the magazine continually achieves.

Informnorth have consistently provided an excellent service to S4L 4 VCS. We originally contacted the team when we needed help to produce a poster campaign promoting our services to a wider network. The end results were striking and got our message across brilliantly. When we again required the expertise of the team, in the designing of the document for our final evaluation report for the project, their service was second to none. Informnorth provided expert help and guidance in producing a very professional document that was easy to read and a befitting design. They embraced the project from beginning to end, from arranging photography to organising the printing.

A huge thank you to the team at informnorth for your continued support in the promotion of the community campaign Bloomin’ Marvellous. Over the past four years your eye catching poster and leaflet campaigns have helped us to inspire thousands of residents and businesses to participate in our massive days of volunteering in our community. The Bloomin’ Marvellous website you’ve producedl is a brilliant portrayal of all the work we’ve achieved and has received many, many compliments. When the judges from the Northumbria in Bloom competition have visited the village they are equally impressed with the professional portfolio of evidence the team have produced on our behalf. Last but by no means least thanks for your consistent voluntary support of the campaign throughout the year and for taking part in the days of activity cleaning and planting out areas of the village.
