Prestige Award for Digital Marketing Company

A FAMILY owned digital media company based out of Market Street in Launceston, has been presented with a Prestige Award.

The South West England Prestige Award highlights work undertaken by Pulman’s Digital Media throughout 2020/21.

The award, which was collected by local IT employee Duncan Williams, acknowledges Pulman’s ongoing digital development and commitment to offering increased value to local South West businesses by using social media and mobile applications to assist marketing.

Duncan, who is a former pupil of Launceston College, said: “During the recent lockdowns, Pulman’s has been able to focus on winning some high profile clients who have requested digital solutions that have gone on to help fund regional South West social media services at a reduced rate. This is good news when so many local businesses are struggling to get back on their feet after a difficult 16 months of trading restrictions.

“Back in the day, Launceston College pioneered early CSE Computer Studies courses which I remember attending, even though the computer systems were very basic. Little did our generation know at the time how important computers and digital technology would become.”

The impressive list of clients who have now been provided with digital marketing services out of Launceston includes the English cricket team, the ‘The Barmy Army’ (the English cricket fans), West Ham United, and Hayle-based PPE supplier Exhibit One Clothing.

Duncan added: “We have even installed not-for-profit online platforms for church services who were keen to continue reaching congregations during a period of time where churches were forced to close and delivery of their printed materials had ceased. Digital technology can actually be a force for good when people feel isolated. Zoom has become a communication phenomenon.”
