Entrepreneurs & investors

We project managed 'running the gauntlet', a regional investment competition for entrepreneurs in the East of England. This saw us working with investment partners and a wide range of in-kind sponsors to develop a comprehensive education and networking programme for entrepreneurs. Our award winning integrated communications campaign attracted hundreds of entries each year and over a 3 year period the competition and events programme successfully established itself in the calendar of opinion formers and entrepreneurs alike.

“The Foundry House has done a consistently good job in delivering well co-ordinated, high profile projects drawing on a combination of disciplined planning, strong relationship management and cost-effective but creative communications. They have worked as anextension of our team on a number of award-winning campaigns.“

"The Foundry House® showed the strategic value of integrated communications and PR. But they went beyond and delivered an award winning series of programmes and events. They are top class and I would happily work with them again"

More recently, we have been helping to drive take up of a programme aimed at helping companies to identify and secure funding. We have worked with a wide range of intermediaries and used social networks to raise awareness, resulting in a 42% increase in registrations.

We are also project managing a new investment competition in the life sciences sector which will culminate at a high profile conference in October 2010.
