Birmingham- based PR agency Kinetic Communications has been appointed by city- living estate agents Maguire Jackson to handle its ongoing public relations.

The appointment follows Kinetic's completion of a three-month launch project, which has seen Maguire Jackson grow to a team of five based at premises on Sheepcote Street in the heart of Birmingham's prime city living quarter.

Philip Jackson, director of Maguire Jackson, said Kinetic's strategy for the launch period had convinced them they were the agency to manage the company's reputation in the longer term.

He said: "The advice provided from day one was really sound. They helped define some very clear messages about our business and then set about targeting the right journalists in the right order."
