CG has been appointed to carry out the PR and social media for The Powerboat & RIB Show 2013, following its successful launch of the inaugural show this May.

CG was appointed by organisers to carry out all PR and social media for the show at Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth.

Following a consistent six months of media coverage, aimed at ensuring a high number of visitors and exhibitors, the event was held from May 11 to 13 to wide acclaim.

More than 75,000 people visited the show over the weekend and PR highlights included a live broadcast from the show by BBC Radio Solent's H2O show and attendance of journalists from publications such as Motorboats Monthly and The Portsmouth News.

Hugo Montgomery-Swan, Managing Director of The Powerboat & RIB Show, said: "Carswell Gould's public relations work for the inaugural, Suzuki sponsored, Powerboat & RIB Show held at Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth this May, was critical to the ultimate success of this event. Over 75,000 people visited Gunwharf Quays over the three day show and besides exposing the world of powerboating to the general public in an interactive and creative manner, the Powerboat & RIB Show attracted a healthy number of serious minded buyers of boats and boating equipment.

"The thoroughness and pro-active nature of their work, as well as their close communication at every stage of the campaign with both ourselves as client and in turn our sponsors Suzuki and Gunwharf Quays, all resulted in Carswell Gould providing a service which guarantees their being awarded the contract to be the sole public relations company for the 2013 Powerboat & RIB Show."
