HARROGATE PR agency Cicada Communications has been appointed by the Yorkshire and Humber branch of the Institute of Directors (IOD).

The contract cements previous projects between Cicada and the IOD, and will see the agency work alongside the Institute's regional director Natalie Sykes and other regional chairs over the next 12 months to raise the profile of the organisation, which is the longest running group in the UK for professional business leaders.

Cicada managing director Di Burton said: "It is fantastic to be working with the Institute of Directors again, an organisation that offers so many benefits to business leaders. This strong business win adds to our portfolio of B2B clients."
