Steak appointed as official Start supporter

Steak has been appointed to provide digital marketing services to support Start, a new initiative by The Prince’s Charities, a group of not-for-profit organisations of which The Prince of Wales is President. The aim of Start is to promote and celebrate sustainable living and help people across the UK take positive and practical steps towards a more energy efficient, cleaner and healthier future.

Steak will provide paid search management and online media planning services to promote the Start website, on a pro bono basis from the beginning of May. The website, http://www.startuk.org/, which will re-launch later this year, will highlight the best examples of sustainable practice, explain the issues around sustainability simply and without jargon, and provide a platform for like-minded individuals and communicates to share their experience, goals and idea. The site will form part of a vibrant and diverse programme of activities planned for 2010 to engage people across the UK.

Commenting on the appointment, Ollie Bishop, Steak’s CEO said, “We’re very proud to be supporting such a forward thinking and inspiring initiative. Start has a realistic and constructive approach that we really admire and we’re looking forward to helping them achieve their goals.” 

Will Watt, Content Director, Start, added, “Our website will be one of the main ways in which we reach and engage with people as part of this project. Steak’s help will be invaluable and we’re delighted to welcome them on board as a supporter.”
