It's party time at a Chester-based agency which is celebrating a landmark year.

Eclipse Creative Consultants Limited, based in Vicars Cross, is celebrating its 25th birthday.

It has been an evolving quarter of century for Eclipse, which has allowed the agency to go from strength to strength as a full service marketing agency in the North West.

Eclipse has built its reputation as an agency who works with clients on a personal level, allowing the agency to meet its clients’ needs in thought provoking and innovative ways.

Eclipse director Mark Astbury helped form the business back in 1990 and he has seen first-hand the effect that new opportunities have had on the marketing landscape.

He said: “Over the last 25 years we have seen a real shift in how businesses should be marketing themselves.

“Digital marketing has become a key force, whether that be web, social, search engine optimisation or pay per click advertising. Our clients’ target audiences are now doing much more on their computers laptops, tablets and phones, which means that we have to market differently to meet their needs.”

Earlier this year three members of the Eclipse team gained their Google Adwords accreditations. This certification allows Eclipse to demonstrate that Google recognises the agency as an online advertising professional.

With this vital accreditation, clients can trust Eclipse to provide them with the best practice to help their business to succeed.

The Eclipse team boasts professionals with a vast amount of experience in all sectors of the marketing industry. Eclipse will continue to offer a creative edge on the competition through web design and build, offering advertising, graphic design, PR and social media.

Mark added: “We are fortunate to have an experienced, talented and hardworking team at Eclipse, one that will ensure it continues to thrive well into the next quarter of a century”.
