TMPR Celebrates Real Living Wage Anniversary

18 September 2024/in Building Trust

Penarth-based B2B marketing and PR agency, TMPR, is celebrating again this month after marking its first anniversary as a Real Living Wage accredited employer.

The latest in the long line of celebrations throughout 2024, which include a major rebrand and two shortlists in the Vale of Glamorgan Business Awards, TMPR is especially proud of its commitment to the Real Living Wage.

“According to the Living Wage Foundation, more than a tenth of all workers in Wales (12.9%) earn less than they need to get by, with around 161,000 jobs paying less than the real Living Wage,” explains Louise Morgan, TMPR founder and Director.

“We believe in building trust, empowering growth and acting sustainably, so being an accredited Real Living Wage employer firmly aligns with our values.”

The real Living Wage is the only rate calculated according to the costs of living. It provides a voluntary benchmark for employers that wish to ensure their staff earn a wage they can live on, not just the government minimum. Since 2011 the Living Wage movement has delivered a pay rise to over 460,000 people and put £3 billion extra into the pockets of low paid workers.

“We’re delighted that TMPR is part of the movement of over 14,000 responsible employers across the UK who voluntarily commit to go further than the government minimum to make sure all their staff earn enough to live on,” says Katherine Chapman, Director, Living Wage Foundation.

“They join thousands of small businesses, as well as household names such as Burberry, Barclays, Everton Football Club and many more. These businesses recognise that paying the real Living Wage is the mark of a responsible employer and they, like TMPR, believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay.”

TMPR’s 13th year: new vision and growth plans

13 June 2024/in Building Trust, PR

To celebrate 13 years of business this month, a Penarth-based marketing and PR agency has relaunched with a fresh brand, a renewed vision, and ambitions to achieve further growth by making B2B marketing miracles happen for South Wales businesses.

Having built a strong foundation by specialising in the construction, engineering, manufacturing and technology sectors, Technical Marketing and PR is now broadening its B2B horizons under the ‘TMPR’ brand. This new strategy comes after the agency undertook research last year to identify its strengths, areas for improvement, and growth opportunities.

“We’ve long thought our specialist industry expertise was the reason why we’ve been successful with attracting new clients and retaining them for the long term,” explains Louise Morgan, TMPR founder and director.

“After finally asking the question, not just of clients, but everyone we engage with, it became clear it’s our approach that sets us apart. And that was the catalyst for our shift in vision.”

As well as extending the scope of sectors the agency will support, TMPR has also sharpened its service provision. “There’s a much stronger emphasis on channel communications now, as our experience with distribution models and partner marketing translates to many industries,” continues Louise.

“We’ve already been engaged by companies in the automative, warranty and healthcare sectors, and can’t wait to make B2B marketing miracles happen for more local businesses.”

TMPR is not only growing in terms of service and sectors. The award-winning agency has welcomed two new team members so far this year and is looking to add a further two account handlers before the end of 2024.

5 years at TMPR, happy work anniversary Tom!

23 April 2024/in Building Trust, Our Team

Today we’re marking five years since Tom Martin joined TMPR, and what an accomplished half a decade it has been!

Tom first joined the team back in 2019 as a Junior Account Executive, shortly after graduating from Cardiff University with a degree in English Language and Literature. He came to us as an enthusiastic graduate with an ambition to pursue a marketing and PR career. His passion and natural talent combined with the supportive environment and development opportunities provided by TMPR fast tracked Tom’s progression into his role as a fully formed Marketing & PR Consultant.

Reflecting on his tenure, Tom was spoilt for choice in choosing just a few highlights. From fully funded professional development, industry events and networking, team away days and celebrations, to spearheading immense projects and campaigns… And of course, taking home the title of Young Communicator of the Year at the 2023 CIPR PRide Wales awards!

When asked about his time with TMPR, Tom said: “Five years feels like a bit of a milestone, doesn’t it? It’s been a great journey so far and I’m confident there’s a way to go still. Seeing how the agency and the team has grown, especially across the past 12 months with new values, refreshed brand and more colleagues, has been extremely rewarding.

“On a personal level, I’m proud to be bringing the same attitude as day one. I’ve come a long way but I’m by no means finished learning, developing and finding new ways to deliver for our clients – and truly, I’m sure I never will be! It’s something to believe in, and I’m glad to be part of an ambitious team setting new standards.”

Louise Morgan, Director at TMPR, added: “Investing in our people to empower growth is a key pillar of TMPR. We believe in nurturing talent and supporting development at pace, most crucially, in specialisms that interest our colleagues the most. Tom has embraced every opportunity since day one, it’s been a real pleasure to work alongside him as his TMPR journey goes from strength to strength. Congratulations on this major milestone, Tom and thank you for the passion you bring to the agency as we prepare for our next chapter.”

Tom’s time with TMPR has been compelling and multifaceted – he has truly thrived since joining the team all those years ago, and played a pivotal role in helping evolve TMPR into the agency we are today.

A huge congratulations to Tom on his five year TMPR anniversary, we can’t wait to see what you achieve over the next five!

Shaping the future of TMPR together

18 October 2023/in Building Trust

After 12 years in business, TMPR has gone from strength to strength. The team is the beating heart of TMPR, so with two new hires recently joining, it is the perfect time to come together and build a vision for the future.

Long-standing HR partner James Dalton, Founder and CEO of E3i, joined the team to discuss the culture of TMPR past and present, but most importantly future. Throughout the day the group learnt a lot about TMPR, the individuals within it, and how they work as a team. Using valuable feedback and insights from employee, client, and supplier surveys, some fantastic conversations took place regarding what makes TMPR unique and special, and how to take it to the next level.

As TMPR look to begin an exciting new chapter, they explored the company’s values, shaping a positive vision for the future. Everyone at TMPR feels a special energy in the air and believes it should be shared with the world. Together the team defined the ‘TMPR way’ which will help to better communicate why the agency is a great place to work – and a great agency to work with.

Stay tuned, it’s going to be exciting!
