Picardy Media moves into UK Top 10 in industry poll

Picardy Media Group was recently named in a ‘Televisual’ industry poll as one of the Corporate Top 10 production and new media companies in the UK.
This comprehensive industry-wide study covers all corporate communication activity within the UK – including London. Picardy were ranked in 7th place in the overall poll, which scores companies against five criteria: number of staff; number of commissions across all disciplines; total video/ broadcast TV output; turnover for corporate work; and reputation among their peers. Each company’s best three scores are then totalled for the overall Top 50.
Picardy, based in Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh, is increasingly more active in Southern England and contracts for a number of London clients are currently in the pipeline. Managing Director Iain Hogg said: “This placing represents a remarkable achievement for us. It validates our strategy to diversify and expand, at a time when so many other companies in the industry are struggling to compete.”
The company has pioneered a number of cutting-edge new media technologies such as Brand Radio for retailers and Desk Top Television for corporate customers.
Recent projects have included work for the Scottish Executive, Standard Life Bank, Guinness UDV, Transco and Coca Cola Enterprises.
