999 Design has won the six figure Asperity account following a five way pitch.
Asperity is behind the country’s largest employee discount scheme and the new year-long contract will see 999 create a new brochure, produce an advertising wrap for the cover of trade magazine Employee Benefits and offer consultancy services. The company offers discounts to employees at a number of companies at partner retailers, such as M&S, HMV and Boots. "We are constantly looking to improve our product and our development team is always working hard on enhancements. Like any company striving to be the best in its market we recognise that our enthusiasm should be reflected at every level, from growing existing client relationships to attracting new clients and maintaining a positive, motivated workforce," said Glenn Elliot, managing director of Asperity. "That’s why we are delighted to be working with 999 Design. Their understanding of our ethos and creative approach to communicating key messages to our audiences, both internal and external, put them head and shoulders above anyone else. "There are a number of projects in the pipeline with 999 and we look forward to forging a productive relationship in the months ahead."
Expansion
 New staff In addition to the new client win, the group have plans to expand their digital department which will treble its turnover over the coming year. Two senior staff have now joined, account director Kenneth MacKenzie arrives from The Zen Agency. Lauren Agnew comes from S1.com to work as a web developer. "999 has always offered a digital design function but we have predominantly focused on the brand side. Although this is an area we excel at, the appointment of Kenneth and Lauren significantly strengthens our offering across a wider range of digital marketing services," explained Andy Helme, managing director of 999’s Manchester office. "Numerous agencies out there are strong on the technical aspects of digital marketing but often lack the creative or brand knowledge. By marrying these new technical skills with our existing brand and design capabilities, we aim to become a leading player with a truly unique offering." Something to add?
