Bownty, a deals search site, has hired travel and lifestyle PR agency Turtle.

Turtle is tasked with highlighting the firm’s mission of helping people enjoy a more spontaneous social life with offers from various deal sites.

Also calling on Turtle to focus on the UK’s national and consumer press are The Champagne Tour Co.

The independent company offers bespoke planned private visits to artisan grower-producers and grand prestige cellars, and exclusive access to cellars not open to the general public. With help from Turtle, it seeks to draw more British clientele to the Champagne region of France and its customised tours.
