Seven years as Exeter Science Park's communications partner

KOR Communications was the appointed communications consultancy for Exeter Science Park, the South West's centre for STEMM businesses beside M5 Junction 29, for seven years from concept through to delivery. Working with the executive team, board and shareholders, KOR promoted the Park's buildings, services and tenant successes, securing local, regional and national media coverage.

The project

Established in 2013 and officially opened in 2015, Exeter Science Park is the South West's centre for businesses in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM), based on a 26-hectare site just off M5 Junction 29 on the outskirts of Exeter. The Park's four shareholders are Devon County Council, the University of Exeter, East Devon District Council and Exeter City Council.

From concept to delivery, over a period of seven years, KOR was the appointed communications consultancy for the project.

Our approach

We delivered a strategic communications programme to promote Exeter Science Park's facilities, services and collaboration opportunities to prospective tenants, stakeholders and the wider business community.

Working closely with the executive team, board members and shareholders, we secured local, regional and national media coverage, managed key milestone events, and provided ongoing support across reputation management, content creation, social media, website updates, photography, video and events. Recognising that people were at the core of the Park's offering, further support included profiling new tenant businesses, communicating staff appointments, and engaging with partner organisations, schools and other local groups.

The outcome

Professional communications helped to enhance the reputation of Exeter Science Park as a respected centre for excellence, through a sustained programme of activity highlighting business success, including the promotion of new buildings, company announcements, growth plans and tenant news.
