Service Description
Press Ahead was set up in 2004 by former Trinity Mirror executive, Russell Borthwick and he and his team have an in-depth understanding of newspaper publishing, commercial broadcasting and the key strategic and operational issues which face media owners today; developed over 20 years of operating at a senior level in the sector.
During the last seven years, the organisation has worked on a number of consultancy, research, business development, staff recruitment, marketing communications and training projects with publishers including DC Thomson, Trinity Mirror, Iliffe Group, Johnston Press, Archant, Times Educational Supplement, Oldham Chronicle and CN Group. This means that Press Ahead is uniquely placed to understand the key issues affecting the sector and help to implement appropriate solutions.
As a result of this and our in-house research team we are viewed as being the ideal resource to tackle major strategy, business development and change management projects in this specialist field. And we do this in a very inclusive, hands on way ensuring that we are viewed as an integral part of your team and not simply 'more external consultants'.
We have a strong network of key decision makers in the media and retain an active involvement in various awards and other initiatives, ensuring that we have our finger very much on the pulse and can get things done for our clients. But don’t just take our word for it!
“Press Ahead’s understanding of regional publishing, combined with a proven track record of project delivery, meant that we were highly confident in awarding them the contract, ahead of major international research consultancies.” – Andy Gough, MD Iliffe Digital
“Press Ahead’s support has been absolutely critical, and I am sure that, as a result of the work they did, we will continue to demonstrate real improvements that will ensure we capitalise on opportunities to broaden our customer offer, drive revenues and profitability and strengthen the business.” – John Thomson, Business Unit Head, DC Thomson
