Shorthose Russell Ltd

Based in Norwich and operating from Kirby Bedon, Shorthose Russell has worked as an independent marketing and communications agency since 1996, with experience spanning both national and international markets. The agency positions itself as an extension of clients' in-house teams, working with CEOs, managing directors and marketing leaders across a range of industries. Named clients include The Belfry, Brown&Co, Cameron House, Chestnut Group, cottages.com, Covalt, Hoseasons, Hotel du Vin, Landal, Malmaison, Pure Sports Medicine, Signs Express, Village Gyms and Virgin Wines, and in 2018 the agency launched a sister brand, thissaway, focused specifically on hospitality and leisure sector clients. Across both brands it supports over 35 national and international accounts. The agency's service range covers digital marketing, design, PR and web development, delivered as an integrated offering rather than standalone disciplines. Digital services include SEO, pay-per-click advertising, social media marketing and content marketing, framed as data-driven approaches to growth. Design work spans branding and graphic design, with case studies covering hotel and hospitality clients such as Malmaison, Hotel du Vin, Cameron House and The Belfry. PR work includes campaign development and internal communications, illustrated by projects such as the Hughes Hidden Heroes campaign and internal comms work for Briar Chemicals. The team also publishes regular articles on topics including SEO trends, generative search, media list creation and PR strategy, reflecting ongoing commentary on developments across its core disciplines.
