Intandem Communications, celebrates 20 years

York PR and marketing agency, Intandem Communications, is celebrating its twentieth year in business with increased turnover, an expanding team, and a growing list of national clients.

Founded in 2002 by Rachel Goddard, Intandem Communications has grown from a one-woman band from her home in East Yorkshire to an established business with eight employees, offices in York and Leeds and clients spread across Yorkshire, London, and Europe.

In the last 12 months, the company’s turnover has grown by more than 50 per cent. It has doubled the size of its team with four new full-time staff, opened new offices in both York and Leeds and is on track to double its turnover by 2024.

The company has created a strong team culture focusing on personal development and well-being to attract talent, which includes a programme of well-being days where the team enjoy activities including yoga, mindfulness and cooking, and team building which have included activity days in the Yorkshire Wolds and climbing a ‘Peak’ in the Yorkshire Dales.

Emerging from the pandemic, Intandem refined its strategy to attract high-value clients from all over the UK. The company prides itself on remaining true to its values by working ‘intandem’ with clients passionate about creating relationships and seeing the agency as part of its own team.

This way of working has enabled the business to develop long-lasting relationships with clients who include York mental health charity The Retreat Clinics, Lincolnshire-based LightSpeed Broadband, international data consultancy, The Information Lab, nutritional supplement company Osavi, lingerie supplier and bra-fitting specialists Ample Bosom, York-based solicitors Guest Walker as well as the Yorkshire Balloon Fiesta and the York and North Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership.

Rachel Goddard, managing director of Intandem Communications, said: “It’s incredible to think that Intandem is celebrating 20 years in business, and I am so proud of what we have achieved as a team this year! The pandemic helped us to ‘regroup’ and brought us new ways of working and new opportunities from York to New York.

“Over these twenty years, many things have changed, but our values have stayed constant. We continue to work ‘intandem’ with clients who align with our values, helping them to ‘unpuzzle their marketing’.

“Developing long-term relationships and effectively becoming part of our client’s teams means we care as much about their success as they do and create PR and marketing that delivers results.”
