what our clients say
“I have been working with The PR Network for the last three years. I trust George and Nicky to find the best consultant to fill a role in my team or help with a launch project. Their network is very broad so they’re always able to introduce me to people with the experience I’m looking for, whether it’s a PR skill or a European language. However they are very selective in terms of who they work with so I know the consultants will always deliver.”Ruth Speakman, Head of Consumer PR, Corporate Communications Europe, Sony
The PR Network has provided me with a truly exceptional service over the last few months. We worked with The PR Network to build out an out-sourced model for analyst relations in the UK and across EMEA, and I found the consultancy and advice provided to be both excellent and honest. The PR Network found a number of excellent candidates, and managed the move from agency to out-sourced AR provision totally seamlessly.Tim Brook, Senior Manager, Analyst Relations, Adobe Systems
what our clients say
“The PR Network has been running LogLogic's EMEA PR for three years and in that time has proved to be a valuable
asset to our UK team. By working with a flexible, bespoke team of senior PR consultants, LogLogic gets the best of both worlds: senior consultancy that doesn't cost the earth from a team that knows our sector inside out. I believe the new business model The PR Network demonstrates offers a future proof solution to our PR as it is scaleable, flexible and transparent.”Pat Sueltz, CEO, LogLogic Inc. (our first retained client and still a client today)
“We have been working with The PR Network for two years now and have been impressed by the calibre of their consultants. In the past, I've found it difficult to find freelancers who not only had the right skill set but were really motivated and happy to pitch in as part of the team for however long they were with us. The PR Network has restored my faith. George and Nicky's PR backgrounds mean they really understand what I need so it's easier to find the right person quickly.” Joss Hastings, Vice President, Media Relations, Disney Channels EMEA
