Tempt Agency Announces New Partnership with Unity Radio's New Talent Academy 2

With ambitious plans ahead for the community-led initiative, Tempt is engaged to deliver tactics with the aim of increasing awareness, recognition and interest. This includes brand strategy, PR and digital marketing in order to generate coverage, share success stories and facilitate new sponsorship opportunities.

Tempt will also be raising awareness of Unity Radio’s ‘Presenting Under Pressure’ corporate team-building workshops, which give companies from all sectors the chance to present their own radio show live on air.

Established in 2018, Tempt is an award-winning marketing agency that delivers powerful, creative, and memorable consumer campaigns. Based in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, Tempt has managed marketing and PR campaigns for brands including Mercure Hotels, Olive Branch Fostering, Ewe Bar & Restaurant, Bar Hütte, Pong & Puck, and Victoria Warehouse. 

Managing Director of Tempt, Beccy Gibson says: “We’re really excited to be involved in this rewarding, community-led project, supporting the next generation of talent in Greater Manchester. New Talent Academy is an amazing asset to the community, driving social value and giving learners the chance to get hands-on broadcast experience with industry professionals. We can’t wait to continue working with the team.”

Lee Dinsdale, Director of Unity Radio and New Talent Academy, says “Last year, New Talent Academy supported 87 learners – 10 going into further education, 25 taking on volunteering roles and 19 going into employment within the creative, media and digital sector. This year, we plan to build drastically on these figures, making a real impact in the community. We chose to work with Tempt because of their passion, creativity and strategic approach, we’re thrilled to be working with the agency as they support us on the journey ahead.”
