Global wellbeing organisation Therme Group has appointed Rule 5 as its retained PR agency.
The ground-breaking business is responsible for the development and creation of the most advanced wellbeing resorts in major cities around the world and will be bringing the concept to the UK.
Based in Manchester’s MediaCityUK and with a national and global reach, the communications agency is leading on the group’s UK corporate communications, whilst advising on global PR strategy.
