Blackpool Grand is delighted to announce that it has partnered with SEO and PPC specialists The Evergreen Agency, Oxford.

The agency was chosen based on its incredible work ethic and passion of the whole team, something close to Blackpool Grand’s heart.

The transparent and personal approach has seen The Evergreen Agency lay down roots thick and fast, already noted as “#1 Fastest Growing SEO Agency” in Oxfordshire.

The Evergreen Agency work closely with a wide variety of businesses across all industries, but this will be the first ‘Arts’ partnership. Something both parties are very excited about.

Director of The Evergreen Agency, Aaron Rudman-Hawkins said of the partnership ‘We’re delighted to be partnering up with such a fantastic business with a long and successful history. I have personally been to Blackpool many times as a youngster and have fond memories of The Grand Theatre, so to now be working with and supporting this fantastic company with their marketing is both a privilege and an honour.’

Having just celebrated its 125^th Birthday, Blackpool Grand is delighted to be working with a fresh new agency with similar values.

Head of Marketing at Blackpool Grand, Andrew Howard said ‘To work with an agency that has the same values as us including; Honesty, Passion and Care is a delight, it really feels right.

‘Another of The Evergreen Agency values is Fun, at Blackpool Grand we believe organisations like ours in the arts and entertainment industry need fun in our work. Working with likeminded individuals like Aaron and his team really helps with business opportunities, further partnerships, and progress.

‘The team at Blackpool Grand work tirelessly on audience development and engagement, and digital as everyone knows, is now a key element. Audiences want to know more, have access to the latest information targeted specifically for them. Its our job to do that without them even having to think about finding it.

‘The theatre has recently re-built its website from the ground-up, working with Preston agency SOAP Media the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Audiences have loved the wealth of information and new areas of engagement.’

Over half of Blackpool Grand’s transactions are completed online, and over a year more than 1.2 million emails are sent, never mind the near 100,000 social media followers.

Blackpool Grand tell us they have a huge Ai (Artificial Intelligence) project underway with Activity Stream, one of the first in the UK. This will be the first linking of all their channels from social, online, ticketing and more all into one stream, allowing greater knowledge of their audience and the arts in Lancashire. This project links into a ‘first’ with the Audience Agency and their Audience Spectrum data.
