Back to the future for PR agency
One of the region’s longest-established public relations agencies has new headquarters in a “back to the future” move.
Empica, which was established in 1989, has moved to Long Ashton Business Park, near Bristol. The business moved out of the Long Ashton Business Park in 2017 and has now returned to occupy 4 Theynes Court, within yards of its previous HQ.
Agency founder and Head, Martin Powell, said: “We were in Long Ashton for over 10 years of the company’s history. It is less than 10 minutes from the centre of Bristol but has the countryside feel.
“With staff living in Bristol and North Somerset it is the perfect location for us. The needs of the business changed during the Covid pandemic and we now have a hybrid working model with full capability to work from home or an office location.”
Empica has a raft of clients in nine sectors, including solicitors Clarke Willmott, coach tour operators Bakers Dolphin, St Peter’s Hospice, the Bristol Centre for Reproductive Medicine (BCRM), Bristol Memorial Woodlands and national crematorium operators Westerleigh Group.
The agency also handles the worldwide interest in the world’s first IVF baby, Bristol-based Louise Brown, organising travel to fertility conferences worldwide and media appearances across every continent.
The business started in Bristol in 1989 and has one person in London. Empica creates media content for online news outlets, social media, newspapers, magazines and broadcast media. As well as stories, pictures and graphics it creates video content with an in-house video unit.
