Marwell Wildlife appoints Polymedia as new PR partner

The conservation charity and zoological park has chosen Polymedia to assist with media relations, social media, and creative campaigns.

The Hampshire-based consultancy was selected after a competitive pitch process.

Marwell Wildlife, which attracts more than 500,000 visitors annually to its 140-acre zoo, is renowned for its global conservation efforts.

The partnership will see Polymedia working closely with Marwell’s in-house marketing and communications team.

Tara Baker, head of communications at Marwell Wildlife, said: "We are excited to partner with the team at Polymedia, who impressed us with their creativity, collaboration and sheer enthusiasm for our work.

"We have hit the ground running and look forward to working together to build upon Marwell’s position as a great day out for families and a leader in species and habitat conservation on a global scale."
