THE island’s marketing companies have a new competitor to contend with.
Yes Mann Marketing Limited is now open for business.
The PR, marketing and event management company has been established by Merita Taylor and her business partner, Barry Duncan.
It is part of the ‘Yes’ group of companies, ‘Yes Agency’ and ‘Yes Australia’.
‘Yes Mann’ is dedicated to providing strategic public relations, marketing, advertising, copywriting and event management services to clients in the Isle of Man, Channel Islands and further afield.
Renowned for her international event management experience, she will also organise personal celebrations including weddings and parties in addition to corporate functions.
‘Yes Agency’ provides experiential marketing, promotional staffing and market research solutions to some of the world’s most famous brands including Coca Cola, Nintendo, Walkers and Imperial Tobacco.
Merita is a trained journalist who also holds the Chartered Institute of Marketing Diploma. She has also worked on three sides of the media, as a news editor, radio presenter and TV news journalist in the Isle of Man and the UK, in an agency environment and on the client side in an international insurance company.
During her previous life in an agency, she had responsibility for managing the PR, marketing and event needs for a number of high-profile clients in the Isle of Man and Channel Islands.
She most recently managed the international communications and events for Royal London 360°.
Merita said: ‘What’s important to me is my reputation and the personal level of service and attention to detail I provide to my clients no matter whether they are a sole trader or an international company. I will ensure they receive a personal, efficient and effective service which benefits them and their business, and helps them to see a return on their investment.
‘Having worked in three sides of the media and across the tri-Islands, I believe I have an unrivalled knowledge and understanding of what the media requires from a client and vice versa.
‘I am also keen to expand the event management side of Yes Mann, whether it is helping clients to organise their wedding or a corporate function.
‘This is an exciting time and I am looking forward to building new relationships and helping my clients to achieve their goals.’
