Congratulations to Old Broadcasting House coworking members Gerard Savva and Becky Edlin, who joined the Innovation Showcase in September 2009 to develop their business. Since then, Magpie has produced high profile campaigns for clients such as the BBC, National Union of Students (NUS), as well as Universities and Students’ Unions across the country. The duo also work with local businesses relying heavily on student-spend, and national charities who are looking to increase student involvement. Magpie's hard work has recently paid off with a nomination for the prestigious Sir Peter Thompson Award for Enterprise and Business.

Magpie provides a range of design and marketing services - from branding, publications and advertising to websites, digital marketing and distribution, specialising in communicating to a student audience. Magpie has mainly grown their business through word of mouth and referrals, so what does the next step look like? Gerard comments, “There’s a big, untapped market out there! We provide bespoke, tailored solutions in design and marketing that communicate our clients’ messages to a student audience.” Visit Magpie Comms at www.magpiecomms.com.
