A Celebration of Place is an industry and UK wide recognition campaign to celebrate the good within the industry over what has been an extremely challenging period (Jan 2020 to March 2022).

Despite the difficulties that we have all faced during the pandemic, both professionally and personally, there is a lot to be proud of in terms of how the industry and our people have adapted to keep our places operating and our people supported.

This campaign was devised by a group of industry experts for Revo to recognise and celebrate the retail industry and will replace the previous Revo ACE, Gold and Purple Apple Awards for an interim period with the view of them returning in a revised format in years to come.

We hope that the quick and easy entry mechanism will encourage plenty of entries, a selection of them will be showcased on the Revo website for the wider industry over the coming months. We also hope you will be able to join us in celebrating in person at a recognition event, with further details to be released soon.

Who are we?

We are proven market leaders in our specialist field – offering seamless marketing services to a very wide and varied client base.

What do we do?

The clue is most definitely in the name – we create, develop and deliver marketing clarity for destinations of all types, shapes and sizes – shopping centres, retail parks, town/cities, visitor attractions and any other variations on the theme.

How do we do it?

Firstly, by taking the time and trouble to really understand our clients’ unique aims, situation, location & challenges. It’s an overused phrase but we really do ‘tailor’ our experience and services to specific circumstances.

Secondly, we offer the best possible, most cost effective and carefully integrated fully managed package of marketing services to meet our client’s objectives – digital, social, PR, graphic design, advertising and events.

The unequivocal aim being to create a robust solution that inspires customer confidence.

Where are we?

The easy answer to that is another question – where do you need us to be? Our clients are spread out across the UK and so are we, providing nationwide coverage.

You’ve heard it before but we truly are nationally outward looking but regionally and locally focused wherever and whenever it matters!

Are we different?

Well we certainly like to think so! The key here is not just our attention to detail, superb range of services, nationwide coverage – these should be ‘givens’ in our marketplace, but its more to do with our intuitive ability to offer clients a rare, dynamic blend of ‘old school know how’ coupled with ‘new era technology’.

In fact, we feel that we are excitingly different, we push boundaries, make heads turn and deliver results based on understanding the ‘here and now’, underpinned by decades of proven experience.

Worth trying?

Our existing clients would certainly say that we are friendly, approachable, dedicated and very good listeners – so why not let us have the opportunity to listen to what you need?

You will soon discover what can be gained from working with professionals who are eager to implicitly understand your business’s goals and explicitly make them happen!
