Four New Clients for Shooting Star
Lincoln-based marketing, PR and digital agency Shooting Star enjoyed a busy first quarter of 2025, securing campaign work with four new clients.
City of Lincoln Council appointed Shooting Star to lead the PR and marketing for its new Cornhill Market, which underwent a £8.75 million regeneration and refurbishment in 2022 and reopened in May last year.
To highlight the businesses operating in the market, increase footfall and encourage other businesses to apply for a stall, the agency has developed a marketing strategy and plan, promoting Cornhill Market events and managing social media channels.
With a great deal of experience in the charity sector, Shooting Star was delighted to secure a contract to deliver a digital campaign for MARINElife, a UK-based charity dedicated to monitoring the populations of seabirds, whales, dolphins and seals around the UK and northwest Europe. It’s the only UK charity to monitor the numbers of both seabirds and marine mammals.
The five-month campaign is now live and has three objectives: to encourage people to register on courses to train as a field-based MARINElife volunteer, to increase engagement on social media, and to build awareness of the charity at a national level.
In the run-up to the 80th anniversary of VE Day Shooting Star was hired by the International Bomber Command Centre to deliver a PR campaign for the VE80 Lincoln project which combines education, sport and remembrance. A series of events took place between 8th and 11th May including an international youth rugby festival on 10th May involving young people from schools across the UK and France.
The extensive media coverage for activities at the IBCC in Lincoln included a piece on the national BBC One o'Clock News and an interview with IBCC CEO Nicky van der Drift OBE.
Last year Shooting Star delivered a successful series of events for business software company Forterro, and this year they've been asked to support Forterro again in project managing an important customer event in July. Shooting Star is providing venue search, event management and logistics for around 250 delegates.
