A marketing agency has been chosen to help promote tourism in Brighton and Hove.

Designate Communications will work alongside the council's tourism body, VisitBrighton, on two internet campaigns to promote small hotels and winter breaks.

The company, in St George's Place, Brighton, won a three-way pitch for the contract against London-based online agencies Wheel and Harvest Digital.

The recently-launched small hotels campaign focuses on four themes - luxury and romance, seafront locations, individually-themed bohemian rooms and rooms to suit every pocket.

The campaign is running on the Adlink network of travel sites and sites that have performed well for travel clients.

Madeleine Spence, Designate's new business manager, said: "It's great to be able to use our experience and expertise on a brand we are all so passionate about."
