Media Testimonials
Our relationship with the journalists we work with is extremely important to us. Just read the testimonials below to see why journalists love working with us!
| "In truth, I have little contact with the PR Room on a day-to-day basis.
That's because they know better than to call the editor of a large team with a product news story or review sample. They're savvy enough to
realise that the way to get product featured is to target T3's section editors. And it's not as if they bombard the team with endless press
releases, either. If they send something in, you know it's relevant to your publication and worthy of inclusion in the mag. Put simply, they're
one of the most efficient and targetted PR agencies we have the pleasure of dealing with. The bigger agencies could learn a lot from the way
they operate. They're a class act." Michael Brook, Editor, T3 |
| "The PR Room is one of the best agencies I've had the pleasure of working with. Why? They're always cheery, helpful, understand and appreciate deadlines AND don't send unnecessarily emails with products useless to the programme and just clog up your inbox with oversized JPGs!
In TV, our deadlines can change at the drop of a hat very late in the day, but The PR Room makes our jobs easier by constantly delivering. If they say they will do something, they do it! This in my book puts them at the top of the list!" Dionne South, Assistant Producer, The Gadget Show |
| "...is this thing on..? Are we recording..??
Um, yeah...PR Room is definitely one of the most helpful and co-operative PR agencies around. And there are
some complete monkeys out there. Little things like, you know, actually responding to emails, go a long way.
And the gang are always really cheery and positive, which makes a big difference. Yup. Big fan.
How was that..?" Scott Snowden. Reviews Editor, The Register |
| "Many PRs often don't think before they pick up the phone.
With The PR Room you have a company that is not only ultra-efficient
in ensuring you get the products and releases when you need them,
but is also sensitive to your requirements too. They really make
the effort to find out about the type of stories your publication
is looking for and is always coming up with interesting angles
and products. That's a rare quality in PR." Ashley Norris, Freelance Journalist - The Guardian, CEO - Shiny Media (Tech digest) |
| "The key thing about the PR Room is that they know the IT sector - that is, they know what each brand covers and who to contact there. That's because it's a focused PR agency filled with, from my experience, very good people. It sounds like a simple recipe for success and it is, but very few get it so right." Tim Danton, Editor, PC Pro |
| "Technical journalism is an increasingly competitive sector, and getting the products and stories into print is often a challenging exercise. Working with the PR Room I've come to appreciate that these people are genuinely here to help me, forming a vital bridge between myself and their clients. Other agencies might talk the talk, but more importantly the PR Room actually delivers on their commitments. Making my job much easier, which in turn delivers the timely coverage their clients demand. If only all PR agencies were this effective." Mark Pickavance, Micro Mart |
| "In this world of huge and faceless corporations, its
refreshing to deal with a company that maintains and values personal
contact.
I have worked with Sarah Chard for more years than I care
to remember from my time at PC Pro, through my years on
Personal Computer World and today at www.trustedreviews.com, I
have always found Sarah to be helpful and efficient. When Sarah branched out on her own to create the PR Room, she proved that she could service multiple clients to the same high standard as when she worked in-house. With Kerri working alongside Sarah, the PR Room has grown into a solid and reliable resource for UK journalists, where requests for review samples are handled swiftly and queries are always answered." Riyad Emeran, Editor-in-Chief, www.trustedreviews.co.uk |
| "The PR Room is a breath of fresh air for technology journalism.
Sarah and Kerri (or Sez and Kez as they like to be known) work
hard, know their clients inside out and have a light-hearted enthusiasm
for what they do. Whats more they appreciate the importance
of doing business over lunch and have good taste in wine." "What journalists primarily need from PR professionals is quick and accurate response to requests, news delivered in an interesting and eye-catching way and long informal lunches. The girls understand this and deliver on all three with aplomb." Scott Bicheno, Editor, PC Retail Magazine. |
| "At Concept For Living we are always
on the lookout for the must-buy new gadgets for the home. However, we would be the first to admit that we're not IT experts,
so the ability of the team at the PR Room to break down complex information, conveying the pertinent
facts in layman's terms, is a lifesaver. Plus Kerri Chard's cheerful and efficient approach is the
perfect antidote to deadline stress!" Emma Hill, Editor, Concept for living |
| "Having worked with Sez and Kez (Sarah and Kerri) for more years than they
want me to remember, I can honestly say I've never been let down by them.
They understand how the industry works and more importantly how us journo's
work; there's no constant bombardment of pointless emails, just the relevant
information delivered in an efficient and friendly way and products arrive
in the same hassle free fashion. Less like dealing with PR more like talking
to close friends." Simon Crisp, Project Manager, Incisive VNU Labs |
