According to Sharon Bailey, Executive Director and Prescient’s Head of Marketing “the messages speak to who we are, how we work, and our sense of knowing.” Bailey says, “It’s time Prescient proudly told the country – and overseas markets – more about our business. We have focused on generating growth from within. This has resulted in the business growing on the back of client trust and word of mouth. But now we’re spreading that message”.
