R&Co Communications, which has offices in Birmingham and Leamington, will provide PR, social media and SEO services for Speranta Shelter in Bucharest, which translates to The Hope Shelter and provides a home to around 500 rescued dogs.
The charity rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes across Romania, including elderly and disabled dogs. It also has a focus on education and sterilisation to improve the overall situation in the country, which is believed to be home to between 500,000 and one million strays.
R&Co’s experienced team of social media and PR specialists, which includes former editors and journalists, will deliver PR, SEO and social media to help Speranta grow its supporter base in the UK.
To celebrate its new client win, four members of the R&Co team visited the Speranta shelter in Bucharest to meet the team and see their work first-hand.
R&Co is further supporting the charity by creating a Speranta-themed tree at Leamington’s annual Christmas Tree Festival in the hope of raising donations.
R&Co managing director Peter Robinson said: “A major part of our growth plan has been to offer a one-stop shop to our clients for all their communications needs, with experts in multiple fields including social media, SEO and PR all under one roof.
“We have had several award wins in recent years, recognising our well-earned reputation in areas including veterinary, automotive and logistics.”
Anca Tomescu, the internationally renowned veterinary surgeon who leads Speranta, said: “It’s great to be working with R&Co to help share our work in the UK.
“As many Romanian dogs now live in the UK we know many people are passionate about dogs in our country, so we are looking forward to letting people know how we are continuing to proactively tackle the situation here in Romania.”
