Birmingham-based marketing agency Core has launched a new-look website ahead of its 10th birthday celebrations this September.

The firm said it had seen a 70 per cent rise in visits in the site’s first week and had noticed an increase in the number of CVs it is receiving as a result of the relaunch.

Core managing director Juliet Collings said: “We’ve had a hugely positive response to our website and new brand from all of our clients and many people in the industry. “We’ve also noticed a real spike in the number of CVs we’re getting through the door – it’s proved to be a real eye-catcher and has pushed a lot of talent our way.”

Core said the site, www.core-marketing.co.uk, builds on its new brand which was redesigned to coincide with the company’s relocation to Four Brindleyplace in November 2007.

Ms Collings believes the new website will be a vital tool in the company’s ambitious future plans. “2008 marks a special year for Core with it being our 10th anniversary.

“The website is just the latest step in a programme of activities to mark the birthday milestone.

“Last November we moved offices from The Water’s Edge to Four Brindleyplace to accommodate our rapidly expanding team and we have also undertaken a rebrand.”
