Southampton-based marketing communications agency Carswell Gould has proved itself to be among the best by taking home a collection of industry awards.

The company won gold and silver awards at the Chartered Institute of Public Relations’ (CIPR) PRide awards.

They scooped gold for ‘Best Technology Campaign’ for their work with SETsquared, a partnership of five universities which helps technology start-ups to grow.

Carswell Gould also went home with a silver award for ‘Best Corporate and Business Communications Campaign’ for its work on Creative Dates. The campaign saw the agency play on a dating and Valentine’s theme to attract new clients.

Laura Downton, PR account manager and associate partner, said: “It was a fantastic accomplishment even to have been shortlisted for these awards, so we’re over the moon to have won. We faced some stiff competition but the high quality of work and fantastic results we achieved helped us to stand out from the crowd.”
