Our business is based around what other people say about you, So, here's what other people say about us:
Drew Barrand, features editor, Marketing magazineIan McCawley, deputy editor of Marketing Week“KLW are unique amongst PR agencies in that they truly understand the requirements of journalists and deliver accordingly. So many PRs employ a scattergun approach to their journalist relationships, bombarding writers with irrelevant and intrusive information which only causes resentment. KLW has never trodden this line, preferring to adopt a more targeted strategy, and consequently I have always found them to be a valuable resource.”
Suzy Bashford, freelance journalist“In the three years I have been in contact with KLW, I have found them to be a helpful, dynamic team focused on getting a wide range of coverage for their clients, and rapidly sourcing relevant information and contacts for journalists. They really understand what their clients and the media want.”
Scott Knox, managing director, Marketing Communication Consultants Association (MCCA)“KLW is not the kind of PR agency that will contact me and and try to flog a weak story, which is why I'll always make time for them. The team has a good understanding of how freelancers work and goes out of its way to help formulate pitches and brainstorm ideas.
As well as being able to spot a good feature idea and help a freelancer with client interviews and pictures, the team are also good fun to work with - which is always a bonus!”
Simon Marjoram, director, Geoff Howe Marketing Communications“I have worked with a number of PR partners over the years and would now work with KLW wherever I happened to be. Apart from their excellent knowledge of target journalists, which to be honest is the name of the game, KLW contribute in quite a remarkably proactive way. Great PR people with sound commercial acumen is quite rare.”
Nick Smallman, managing director of Working Voices“When we were looking for a PR agency, we came across many companies that claimed to have good relationships with marketing press. The difference with KLW is that they really do. Account management is strong and we have enjoyed regular exposure in all key titles. Don't go out for a drink with them though.”
Ian Irving, sales & marketing director, Sledge“The thing that struck me immediately about KLW was their desire to get to know me and my business. I was extremely impressed by their attention to detail and also by their boundless enthusiasm for my product. KLW are all very experienced and friendly and have made a huge effort to understand the message I wish to deliver. Because of the blend of PR, Marketing and journalism they are uniquely placed to create a message on your behalf. Most importantly I was struck by how much PR I received in the first 6 months of my relationship with Kelly & co – they really pulled out all the stops.”
Quentin Boyes, CEO, Liquorice“Sledge met a number of agencies to discuss our PR requirements and KLW came across as the natural choice.
Since KLW's appointment our profile in the industry press has increased dramatically and KLW's ability to adapt to our busy schedules and have a hands on approach to dealing with our needs has been key to that success.
I certainly consider KLW an asset and we all consider them to be integral members of our team.”
Sophie Cleary, marketing and communications manager, GlobeCast (France Telecom)“Before KLW started working with us we had a relatively low profile within the trade press. Since working with them this has completely changed, and we are now recognised as an agency to be reckoned with.
KLW's refreshing way of account handling means that they have now become a very important part of our strategy, and ultimately our team.”
“The broadcast market is a niche one, and finding a PR company that specialise in this area is difficult. KLW proved that they can take on anything and have learnt quickly. They built relationships with relevant journalists with ease and I know they enjoy working with KLW as much as I do. KLW works hard and I always look forward to the next PR campaign. Lots of energy, innovative ideas and straightforward advice. A PR company that lets you know where you stand.”
