The Face Forward project was shared with delegates from around the world at a three-day International News Media Association event in Oslo.

The portrait painting project which highlighted the role played by family businesses to celebrate Armstrong Watson’s 150th anniversary was featured as an example of a creative and innovative media partnership.

It was presented as an example of how media businesses around the world are forming partnerships with businesses to help those companies reach target markets with key messages through creative, multi-media solutions. The Face Forward project uses digital, print and event channels.

Jonathan Lee, CN Group development director, said: “CN Group is proud of its role in the partnership with Armstrong Watson and Helen Perkins.

“It has been an exciting project to be involved in. And to see it all come together over 12 months as all the portraits have developed has been hugely rewarding.

“CN Group looks forward to continuing its innovative work with Armstrong Watson and with other businesses in Cumbria, the north of England, and south-west Scotland.”
