A public relations firm based in Brighton was this week named the best marketing employer in Sussex by a leading industry publication.

Midnight Communications came 14th in Marketing magazine's survey of UK marketing agency employers.

The survey, carried out earlier this year, canvassed the opinions of more than 1,700 staff in 330 firms.

Among the questions the magazine asked were what employees thought of their working environment and staff benefits.

Caraline Brown, Midnight Communications' chief executive, said: "Growing our own talent internally has always been a priority for Midnight since it was founded.

"Our move up the league tables is also a reflection of the growing strength of Brighton and Hove as a centre of excellence for marketing and communications."
