News archives October 2001 Hallmark PR to organise mobile mast briefings Hallmark Public Relations has been appointed by the Mobile Telecoms Advisory Group (MTAG) to organise a national programme of briefings for local government. MTAG, which is part of the Federation for the Electronics Industry and is supported by the five main mobile phone networks, chose Winchester-based Hallmark PR after receiving two bids for the account. Hallmark PR managing director Dr Tom Watson will lead the consultancy's team, which is working with MTAG director Mike Dolan. "Earlier this year, MTAG announced its 10 Commitments for improved communications between the network providers and the communities in which they operate," said Tom Watson. "These 15 briefings, planned for the late autumn and winter, will be a central part of MTAG's dialogue with local government planners and councillors who make the decisions on mobile phone masts." Working with MTAG staff, Hallmark is preparing the event programme and the supporting communications as well as marketing it to local government in England, Wales and Scotland.
