Agency appointed to raise profile of Nelson town centre

Scott Dawson Advertising, based in Burnley, has been appointed by Nelson Town Team to run a promotional project, to attract more visitors and shoppers to Nelson town centre.

Murray Dawson, managing director at Scott Dawson Advertising, said: “A new logo has been designed which will appear on all the literature and marketing materials and we are also embracing social media with a Twitter campaign and YouTube clips. Nelson has a great deal to offer and we want to attract people in to the town centre who may not have visited Nelson for some time."

Lara Oddie from Oddies Bakery and vice chair of the Town Team added: “We’re three years on from receiving the Portas Pilot funding. We’ve seen a huge variety of new things happening in the town through our funding from sports activities in the town centre, a children’s pop-up art shop in Pendle Rise, 6 Art and Vintage Markets, various events and most recently opening The Shop in Nelson – the Town Team is very proud of this exciting new space.
