Newcastle strategy and creative agency Do Gooder has secured loan investment from the North of Tyne Culture and Creative Investment Programme.
The undisclosed loan into the female-founded agency spearheaded by Beth Hazon and Nic Quinn will be used to hire new staff and develop data insight tools.
It is the first investment by the programme, which is a new partnership between trade body Creative UK and the North of Tyne Combined Authority, offering financial and business support to cultural and creative industries in North Tyneside, Northumberland and Newcastle.
