Notice Information

Notice Title

PR in America for red meats

Notice Description

The Mesulam Group have worked with AHDB for three years and they know how we work, they know the States that we target, they know our audience, they have met with our exporters and they have a good relationship with them, they also understand our working relationship with DBT and they understand our products. Last time we went to tender to look for a PR Agency in the USA it took us three attempts to find a supplier who could fulfil our contract, the market is very niche and we need a supplier on hand in the US.
