Alastair Campbell from the Ideal Marketing Company delighted to be named as ‘best community business’
A local marketing firm from Market Harborough has been awarded the Community Business of the Year Award this week. Alastair Campbell, who is MD of The Ideal Marketing Company based in Coventry Road, was nominated for the award by clients. Over the past 12 months he has worked on the campaign to bring a cinema to Market Harborough, helped run the publicity for the town’s Arts Fresco event and also runs regular marketing seminars at Hothope Hall which are free to local businesses.
Six other local companies were put forward for the award which was organised by online business directory The Best of Market Harborough. Local business owners and clients were then invited to vote for the business that they considered most deserving of the award, with Alastair’s company The Ideal Marketing Company, taking over 50% of the votes.
Alastair was delighted to be presented with the award at the Angel Hotel on Wednesday evening at the Harborough Chamber of Commerce meeting. “It’s always nice to receive recognition for what you do, however, the greatest reward as far as I’m concerned would be if the plan for a cinema for the town actually succeeds, and the good that would do for the local economy,” he comments.
Alastair’s free bi-monthly marketing seminars for local businesses run at Hothorpe Hall in Theddingworth – the next one takes place on the evening of November 18th and is free to attend. Reserve a place by e-mailing seminar@idealmarketingcompany.com or vist www.themarketingmentor.co.uk
