Client Williams Thompson Williams Thompson, Law Firm The partners of Williams Thompson engaged with Darren Northeast PR to help increase awareness for the firm and their specialist services. Client Actisense Global Success Actisense approached Darren Northeast PR seeking further exposure for their brand which had been growing at a rapid rate but now needed the public profile to match. Since we started working with Darren and his team at the end of 2011, we have seen our brand flourish and our business grow. By understanding our objectives, the guys tailored their approach to building brand awareness, further engage our customers and grow our social media presence. It is very much a partnership, where we agree on ideas and plan our actions. With DNPRs help, we have expanded our distribution presence to cover 34 countries and worldwide interest in our products continues to grow. We have most definitely benefited from a huge increase in our profile, which has generated an increase in our business. This has come from extensive local, regional and national coverage in print, radio and on TV. The business has also benefited from developing strategic partnerships, writing case studies as well as organising events at our salon. The team are responsive, professional and are always there to help no matter what. In the space of three years, Darren and his team have delivered hundreds of column inches in media coverage both online and in print. However, where they have absolutely shone is helping us earn an incredible 20 awards in those three years, including the International Wedding Expert Award for Most Popular Venue in 2015. Their team has been an absolute pleasure to deal with and they really understand what SME’s like ours need in terms of PR and publicity.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Darren and his excellent team recently, when they took over the management of the museum’s social media platforms and advertising campaigns, in the run up to a grand reopening after a long period of closure. Working to tight deadlines as we were, Darren Northeast PR took away the added pressure of also having to maintain a constant and cohesive presence in the media; it was as if a weight had been lifted! Darren also went above and beyond in supporting my role as Learning Officer by becoming involved in various work experience projects with college students, which was very much appreciated. I would not hesitate to recommend Darren and the whole team.

They were really efficient and supported the page by writing the first post, supplying copy for advertising and providing some training. They designed a great banner and offered follow up support so that the page would work for us - not just passing it over and hoping for the best. Thanks so much team!
