We’re pleased to share that Blueberry Marketing Solutions has joined the associate network at 1284 Communications, following their recent announcement about three new specialist appointments.

1284’s approach to communications and partnerships

1284 is a Leicester based communications consultancy that works closely with organisations across the East Midlands and beyond to sharpen how they tell their story and connect into the right regional networks.

Their work goes beyond traditional PR, combining strategic communications with access to trusted decision makers, funding pathways, awards programmes and ecosystem partners – particularly for innovation led and growth focused organisations.

A structured associate model

In 2025, 1284 formalised its associate and approved supplier model as part of achieving ISO 9001 certification, giving clients clear visibility of the specialists involved in their programmes and how projects are managed end to end.

The expanded associate network brings together partners in areas such as digital marketing, film and video production, brand development, strategic business growth and B2B lead generation, allowing 1284 to build the right mix of skills around each brief.

Shared values and long term collaboration

The announcement highlights 1284’s commitment to shared values of agility, diligence, curiosity and authenticity – principles that resonate strongly with how we work at Blueberry.

We’ve enjoyed collaborating with George and the team and look forward to continuing to support organisations that need both sharper communications and a more structured route from conversation to commercial opportunity.
