Testimonials

Working with Paul was a breath of fresh air. He guided us as to the best strategy, and helped to structure a release that would gain quality traction with high-profile media outlets in a short time frame.

Paul helped us tell the story of our ITV project, mostly through a hugely successful awards programme. It was an outstanding success and Paul is excellent at his job. If you need some PR or help with awards, look no further than Paul!

Karen was critical to the development of our initial social media strategy and supported us through a period of rapid growth from launch to 100,000 customers in just over a year. She is supremely flexible and talented at responding to reactive requirements, and in building proactive strategies, and I would recommend her to any small business looking to create a community online.

We’ve worked with Paul for a few years now and right from the off he has been a valued member of the extended team. He gets our business, he gets working with startups and he has an innate understanding of the media and how best to work with it. The awards successes and press coverage he has generated have had a tangible impact and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Working with Paul was great! It was easy to get on the same page on what we wanted to achieve; he was always proactive and went the extra mile to deliver great work. He was open and receptive to feedback. We managed to get a great piece of content ahead of the plan we originally envisioned!

We have been working with Paul for years. He is a great professional – skilled, highly responsive and always willing to go the extra mile to get the best results. He is a very valuable asset to our marketing team, and we always look forward to working with him.

PassivSystems is not an easy business to support. Our PR partner needed to be able to understand a new and highly technical marketplace, our differing propositions for government, utilities, businesses and consumers and support us strategically in positioning the company credibly in all spaces. Rise PR has excelled on all counts – taking us from start up to key player in under 12 months.

We enlisted the help of Rise PR to help promote our Celebrity Paws Auction 2010, which is an annual campaign that aims to raise much-needed funds to help the thousands of unwanted cats and kittens currently in our care. Straightaway, Karen took on board our needs and requirements and demonstrated an extensive knowledge of online PR throughout the project. She secured a large amount of coverage on our behalf and the auction raised the highest amount yet. Karen was professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.

As an innovation-focused B2B startup, we were looking for a PR firm who really understands the UK B2B media, who could not just lend PR support but really become part of the team, understand our business and drive press activity accordingly. Paul has been excellent in all of these areas, we have worked together now through pre-launch, launch and for over a year since, with some excellent coverage in leading press, not least a launch article in the Financial Times. Highly recommended.

Rise PR has rapidly ramped up PR activity in the UK, understanding our business and defining smart and cost-effective communication strategies.
