Pioneering sustainable development company Citu create amazing houses in the centre of cities and we are helping to tell their story. We were asked by Citu to inform and inspire local Leeds people, prospective home owners, stakeholders and influencers about their visionary Climate Innovation District. The development will deliver more than 800 low carbon homes in Leeds’s South Bank Regeneration scheme, alongside climate resilient commercial, retail, leisure and public realm.
From strategic communications and media relations planning, through to tactical delivery, we’ve worked closely with the team long before the first spade hit the ground to the first homes being completed and residents moving in.
We also support Citu’s Little Kelham
development in Sheffield, shining a light on the low-carbon credentials of the homes and commercial lettings and opportunities at the beautifully refurbished listed buildings at the development.
National, trade, regional and local media coverage has been generated and sustained throughout, helping to achieve a strong pipeline of sales leads long before the first homes were ready to move into. Nationally the Climate Innovation District has been featured in the Daily Express, Telegraph and Observer, as well as broadcast coverage on BBC Look North, Channel 4 News and BBC One’s regional current affairs programme, Inside Out.
In 2019 Citu won The Sunday Times Sustainable Development of the Year award for the Climate Innovation District.
