ARTISAN Marketing Communications has won the account to re-brand Manchester’s clampers as lovable but productive rogues.

The Manchester based PR agency will also be working hard to improve the reputation of traffic wardens within the city.

Every year the thoughtless parking acts of Manchester car users result in millions of pounds rightly being siphoned from them.  This money promptly goes back to the people of Manchester.

However, those going about doing the clamping and ticket giving are not seen in a positive light despite contributing to the people of Manchester’s finances. The newly appointed agency has been tasked with changing this image.

Parking fines now account for 10% of Manchester’s finances.

Rob Baker of Artisan comments: “I think our road traffic laws, as laid down in the Road Traffic Acts 2001 and 2001 are commendable and often abused.  It is not the fault of the Council that it has to impose the fines it does – and we have to get this message out.”

Baker continues: “You have to realise they have a job to do and if it means being fined £140, not having a car for a day and waiting an hour in the night rain with flu for a lift from your mates sister because there were inadequate warnings, so be it.  I am sure glad it taught me a valuable lesson and now I can contribute to teaching others.”

Artisan Marketing Communications is also improving the image of estate agents, politicians and drivers of white vans.

April Fool!!

A bit sardonic this year – I am a bitter man.

Last year’s Manchester PR agencies using illegal slave labour sweatshops in Cheetham Hill might be more light-hearted – you cannot say “this blog is not current.”  It was the time of the Primark controversy.
