Local PR agency Slice Communication works with Godshall’s Quality Meats, a turkey bacon provider in Telford. How exciting can you make a campaign circulating around turkey bacon though? Well, when Olympic Gold Medalist Sage Kotsenburg proclaimed his desire to have a bacon medal, they jumped on the opportunity.
