Mark-IT to give IT departments a facelift

NEWS Mark-IT, which specialises in boosting the internal profile of IT departments, has expanded its repertoire to event management. Until now, the PR company focussed on simply communicating IT successes to the rest of the company. Now Sarah Scott, managing director, says event management is the name of the game. "We are still dedicated to improving the profile of IT departments, but we now run events, such as internal product launches, award schemes, team building exercises and publicity stands in the reception area," she told Silicon.com. Mark-IT has recruited a team of corporate psychologists to help boost morale in the IT departments of clients, which include Madge Networks, the Metropolitan Police Service and IPC Magazines.
