Kaper wins new brief with Plusnet

Kaper has been handed a new PR contract with internet service provider Plusnet following a competitive pitch.

The agency will be handling PR activity for the client, running its press office and carrying out creative brand-building and social content functions. It replaces Kazoo as Plusnet's comms partner, reports PRWeek.

Kaper's sister company Karmarama already acts as Plusnet’s creative agency, meaning the two firms are now set to work together on the brief.

It was hired on the basis of its creative approach and insight-driven ideas, while its collaborative relationship with Karmarama will aid the development of an integrated campaign strategy.

Chris McCafferty, founder of Kaper, said: "We admire its ambitious yet down-to-earth approach and are looking forward to working with both the in-house team and our sister agency Karmarama to create a modern and integrated PR strategy."

The firm was shortlisted by the Holmes Report as one of the top five creative consultancies of the year at the recent EMEA Sabre Awards.
