Due to recently expanding the team, CQ Strategic Marketing Group is to move into a new office with double the floor area within our business centre at Killamarsh, Sheffield from the beginning of April.

CQ Strategic Marketing moved into offices within the Westthorpe Business Centre in Killamarsh, Sheffield in July 2014 but have already outgrown their space and are moving to another unit just two doors down the corridor.  The new unit will suit their existing needs but also allow for the planned further expansion and editions to the team during 2016.

As part of the continued growth of the business and the development of the separate brands for CQ 4 Small Biz and CQ Marketing Academy, CQ Strategic Marketing Ltd has employed Marketing Manager, Claire Rooney from Huddersfield, to help with the increasing workload.

Jackie Cook, Managing Director said “We have seen consistent growth, and to continue to further develop our CQ 4 Small Biz offer, and to increase our capacity for ongoing work with our expanding manufacturing and professional services client base, we need to expand the team.  Claire has many years’ experience in marketing, across the West and South Yorkshire areas in professional services and manufacturing. She will work alongside me to expand our geographic reach and build up the CQ 4 Small Biz service”.

CQ Strategic Marketing, CQ 4 Small Biz and CQ Marketing Academy will be exhibiting at the Inspiring Yorkshire Business Event on Thursday 18th February 2016 at Magna, Rotherham.  Attendees will have chance to meet a number of the specialist marketing and business support team on the day and book a free 1/2 day marketing review with Chartered Marketer, Managing Director, Jackie Cook.

CQ Strategic Marketing has sponsored a six week old Guide Dog puppy, a Labrador cross Golden Retriver called Fifi.

The Sponsor a Puppy programme enables Guide Dogs for the Blind to support every step of its training – from those tentative first days with a puppy walker through to more advanced training at guide dog school and eventually matching them with the right owner. This means as a sponsor you can be certain that all your donations will play a vital part in giving independence and freedom to blind and partially sighted people.

Managing Director, Jackie Cook, said “We are proud to support the Guide Dogs for the Blind in their vital work providing dogs that completely change a blind person’s life.  As a dog owner myself it’s also good to see the love and friendship the dogs have with their owners.”
