We understand that every business is different; therefore the approach we recommend is carefully selected to meet your individual requirements.

Through blending news stories, features, letters, comment pieces, among other pieces, the coverage we generate will build or enhance your profile whatever your sector.

At Marketing Contacts, we truly believe that public relations is the complete management of a company’s reputation, therefore we look beyond just media coverage. We support our media campaigns with award entries and speaking opportunities at industry specific events.

Sapphire Public Relations

Sapphire is a boutique company made up of a strong core of people working with co-founding directors, Caroline Harrison and Adrienne Routledge. We pride ourselves on our overall communications expertise and consider ourselves communications practitioners rather than solely public relations service providers.

Because of our structure, we are not only able to provide clients with a superior level of service that represents excellent value for money, but have been able to develop a successful, dynamic communications consultancy that makes a real difference to our clients' bottom line results. We achieve this through clear, concise and streamlined communications with both internal and external audiences.

Building our business in this way and sticking to our core principles based around a no-nonsense, straightforward, fun and passionate approach to what we do has helped make us stand out and has certainly struck a chord with the businesses - and media - we talk to. Our web site includes a range of feedback from clients and journalists that we believe is testimony to this.

Our extensive experience means that we’re well placed to handle all of your day to day communications challenges and advise you longer term on best communications strategies and practices. We work predominantly in the business to business arena and with all the types of companies that could potentially include - companies spanning call centre, IT, recruitment, telecommunications, financial services and other professional services providers to number just a few. As a result, we’ve forged an enviable and, we believe, unrivalled, set of journalist and analyst contacts.

Campaignteam

It’s like this. I grew a small PR firm into a big one and ended up working for remote shareholders instead of clients.
So I quit and founded Campaignteam with a group of experienced independent specialists.

Now we can help you meet your communication challenge, small or big, anywhere in the world.

What We Do:

Communication strategy – you’re not a case study, you’re a business; we write strategy that actually works

Creative management – our clients are often creative geniuses, but they don’t realise this until we facilitate the process

Crisis communication – we know how to plan for trouble and to keep calm when it happens

Media relations – with no media studies graduates on our team we rely on our experience as actual journalists

Corporate publishing – most work in this field is dreadful; we know it’s important enough to do brilliantly

Issues management – a strikingly effective blend of high strategy and low cunning

Culture change & internal communication – in a field full of jargon and amateurism we offer a refreshing alternative: world-class expertise

Marketing communication management – we have the scars and the medals from running in-house departments; we know where the pitfalls lie

Design – Parker’s Light Switch theory is surely right, so visual design has been mission-critical since 543,000,000 BC and we treat it that way

Broadcast work – from spokesperson training to corporate TV programmes

One other thing : none of this works properly unless you can measure progress and effect. You want results, a return on investment, not a pile of press cuttings and an earful of jargon

We’ve been in the forefront of measurement and evaluation since the 1980s and we can help you put practical numbers on your communication work

Red Lorry Yellow Lorry

We work with words. Simply put, we help businesses put the right ones in the right order – and in the right places.

Some of us help organisations of all sorts and sizes use written communications to enhance their brand experience. The rest specialise in PR for technology companies and use our industry know-how to keep our clients in the spotlight.

Our PR teams specialise in the area where the broadcast, telecoms and media worlds converge. Our clients are providers of both the technology and the content that runs on it – and benefit from our specialist knowledge and media relationships that make them stand out from the crowd.

But we don’t just create press coverage, we put together a strategic campaign to meet your marketing goals. Whether through a one-off product launch in the UK or a full global media campaign using our partner agencies around the world, we'll give you the profile you need.

Our PR clients are very varied – from start-ups to multinationals. But one thing they share is an appreciation of the care and attention we bring to each campaign – and not just because we're nice to work with. We get results, and so do they.
