What our clients say
Doug Stewart, Chief Executive, Green Energy (UK) plc:
“Thanks to Substance PR we have had widespread media coverage on radio, in broadsheets and magazines and some TV, that if paid for through advertising would have cost much more than we could ever budget. Substance PR’s ideas and energy have won us awards, helped generate interest in Green Energy UK and have helped us grow our customer base.”
Dr Matt Prescott, E-Day:
“Substance PR did a fantastic job raising awareness of E-Day and the Isles of Scilly Earth Summit amongst target journalists and media outlets. With the benefit of Substance PR’s help, advice and contacts, E-Day is now firmly established in the UK and has been able to reach local, national and international audiences in ways that have opened up many new and exciting opportunities.”
Dave Andrews, Claverton Energy Research Group:
“It was very important for us to get our message across to MPs and journalists. Substance PR made this possible in no time at all, and the result was a packed-out event at the House of Commons, which was a great success.”
Sarah Thurman, Managing Director, Hyde Plus:
“The Substance PR team has a great track record in our industry and really “get” what we do, which makes working with them on projects such as our magazine a real hassle-free experience. I would recommend them in an instant.”
Andrew Hill, Managing Director, Pitch Invasion:
“Substance PR has exceeded our expectations of what a PR agency can do. Time and time again, Substance has demonstrated in-depth knowledge of our industry and a passion for achieving results. I have been extremely pleased with their commitment to deliver, and with their courteous approach. If you are looking for a PR team who are creative and determined to help you succeed, then I thoroughly recommend Substance.”
Angelina Bingley, Head of Marketing Strategy, University of Southampton:
“We hired Substance PR to write a brochure aimed at postgraduate students who are considering the University of Southampton as a place to study. Many writers struggle to grasp finer points of writing for specific audiences, but Substance took the brief and ran with it, delivering a well thought-out and intelligent piece of communication that really markets the University. I have no hesitation in recommending Substance to others looking for quality copywriting.”
Mick Smith, EAT Southampton Ltd:
“EAT Southampton (a festival to celebrate emerging artistic talent in Southampton) was a real challenge, not only because nothing like this had ever been attempted in the city before, but also because of the extremely tight timescale, with three months from conception to delivery. Substance PR rose to this challenge admirably, supplying and working an extensive and extremely relevant media list and achieving a great deal of quality coverage in a very short time. The fact that an estimated 6000 people attended the EAT activities over the bank holiday weekend is testament to the effectiveness of Substance PR’s marketing and public relations strategy and their skill and tenacity in putting it into practice. I would use them again tomorrow.”
Ruth Appiah, Communications Manager, The Hyde Group:
“Substance PR is a highly trusted communications partner. Over the years, they have helped us with lots of projects and day-to-day work, including producing our residents’ magazines, project managing our websites, dealing with media issues and organising numerous events to celebrate and promote our work to staff, residents and potential customers and partners. Substance PR’s excellent housing and regeneration knowledge and ability to handle any communications brief, plus their friendly can-do attitude, makes working with them a pleasure.”
Jamie Catto, co-founder, Faithless and 1 Giant Leap:
“Substance PR has demonstrated endless enthusiasm, creativity and professionalism whilst working to develop media and music industry partnerships on my behalf. I am impressed at their refreshing, proactive and tenacious approach to making things happen. Substance is also fun to work with, whilst being totally committed to doing a first class job.”
Henry Pavey, Strategic Partnerships Manager, Southampton City Council:
“Substance PR provided the event management and publicity for a high profile creative industries event we undertook in the city. At all times, I found them professional in approach and also encouraging with ‘out of the box’ ideas and new concepts. They were a pleasure to work with.”
Anna Kear, Senior Consultant, Adams Integra:
“Working with Substance PR has been both good fun and focused. Building a website from scratch with sign-up required from eight different organisations is no mean feat – Substance was very responsive to meeting a wide range of requirements with no sign of frustration at the level of detail often required. With clarity of purpose, flair and creativity Substance created a website that is easy to use, flows and is appealing to its audience. I would strongly recommend using Substance to others, and I am sure I will use them again.”
Paul Bridge, former Managing Director, Hyde Southbank Homes:
“It was a pleasure to work with Substance PR on our video project, and great to engage with a company that is not only passionate about what it does, but totally focused on giving its clients an excellent communications service. The script and video are spot-on.”
Yvette Hoskings-James, Solicitor, HJ Legal:
“Substance PR’s approach to my public relations campaign was imaginative and very “hands-on”. They provided great advice and suggestions. I am delighted with all their hard work, which resulted in my articles being published. I would recommend them to anyone looking for PR services with a personal and professional approach.”
