			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First Impression celebrates 16 years in business in 2012, a good time to refresh our company brand and values. We felt our name no longer reflected what we do, we are not just about &#8216;first impressions&#8217;, we offer so much more!</p>
<p>Our new name, Fig Creative incorporates the old (Fig stands for First Impression Group) but celebrates the new. It&#8217;s fresh, modern and represents our team of creative sales and marketing professionals. We will still offer the services you might know us for, print and design, websites and email marketing and our customers can still choose that we provide these services.</p>
<p>But, if you are serious about achieving real results you need regular, targeted marketing activities which is why we are formally launching our Marketing Partner Programme.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s having incredible results for some of our clients, one has seen a ten fold increase in business in under a year and another has achieved £1 million pounds in just 6 months. As a Marketing Partner with Fig Creative we deliver all or part of your PR and Marketing requirements, effectively becoming your &#8216;outsourced&#8217; marketing department.</p>
<p>Our newly refreshed website is now live <a title="fig creative" href="http://www.figcreative.co.uk/">http://www.figcreative.co.uk/</a> and take a look at the pages on our <a title="marketing partner programme" href="http://www.figcreative.co.uk/what-we-do/marketing/marketing-partner-programme/">Marketing Partner Programme </a>and some of the <a title="testimonials" href="http://www.figcreative.co.uk/our-clients/video-testimonials/">testimonials</a> of customers already benefiting from this service.</p>
