“The programme EC-PR delivered returned control and authority to the marketing team. We feel a greater sense of brand ownership and appreciate the enormous value of the Lloyd’s name, which had become lost amidst delivering everyday tactics.

As a marketing team, we are better aligned and empowered, and externally, we are working hard to put our clients back at the heart of everything we say, do and develop.

We now know exactly what we need to say in order to support our different target audiences at different stages of the buying cycle.”

“EC-PR worked with our leadership team to establish a media narrative and provided us with national media training. Energetic, insightful and with boundless enthusiasm they helped us to shape our thinking for our next five year strategic plan. Challenging and supportive in equal measure, EC-PR is a real pleasure to work with.”

“It is like this; we knew we needed a car. We had some thoughts on colour, shape, and size and some ideas about where that car might take us, but that car had no engine. And, as everybody knows, a car with no engine can’t go anywhere. We saw EC-PR very much as the engine to help us get started and onto the right road toward our ultimate destination.”

Dave Ruane
Director of Marketing, XTM International

“EC-PR never fails to deliver. Their approach to thought leadership, both in terms of crystallising our initial ideas and then drafting good quality content, is second to none. Given how time-poor our subject matter experts are when it comes to PR, it was a breath of fresh air to have the EC-PR team support us and deliver some great coverage in our target media. We’re looking forward to our next campaign to continue improving our share of voice on key net zero and ESG issues.”

“EC-PR’S AR programme has helped us get in front of some of the most influential industry thinkers in insurtech and started to build their advocacy and buy into our vision.

“The greatest impact AR has had on our business is related to the quality of feedback and insights gathered during industry analyst briefings. These have been instrumental in shaping our new company messaging and proposition. Without AR, Concirrus would not have been able to put in place an ambitious quarterly analyst engagement programme that we’re looking to elevate further in 2022.”

Andrew Yeoman
CEO of Concirrus

“Having EC-PR as our PR partner gives us a huge amount of confidence that our successes are being communicated and our industry voice is being heard over our competition.

“We are now recognised as a market leader within the marine insurance market, and we have established a strong foothold in other sectors as a result. I am blown away by the response we received on the Blueprint – we never anticipated so much engagement from senior leaders and influencers who were keen to contribute their knowledge and insights.”

Andrew Yeoman
CEO of Concirrus

“Thanks to EC-PR’s support, we now have a blueprint which clearly defines how sales and marketing will assist us in delivering the business plan, providing us with clarity as to where we need to invest our resources for greatest impact. We now feel a sense of empowerment, and it has renewed passion and pride in what makes the ITPEnergised brand so special.”

Jonny Clark
Managing Director, ITPEnergised

“EC-PR played an instrumental role in helping us to develop our communication strategy, so it was only natural for us to turn to Liz and Lorraine to help us execute it.

“Their support in building a strong portfolio of material, which has reinforced our capabilities and the importance of through-life career development, has been fantastic.

“We’ve recognised the momentum that has been built in increasing brand awareness and hope to continue to elevate the brand in 2020.”

“The communication strategy development programme EC-PR delivered, returned control and authority to the marketing team. We feel a greater sense of brand ownership and appreciate the enormous value of the Lloyd’s name, which had become lost amidst delivering everyday tactics.

“As a marketing team, we are better aligned and empowered, and we are working hard to put our clients back at the heart of everything we say, do and develop.

“We now know exactly what we need to say to support our different target audiences at every stage of the buying cycle. The clarity and structure of the communication strategy, which EC-PR has provided us, has given us the set of tools and the plan we need so that everything we do makes sense. It is still very early days and I look forward to reporting on the impact the new strategy has had on our business.”

Veronica Araujo
Head of Performance Marketing, Informa Connect

“EC-PR has really focused on understanding the business, and it quickly became apparent that this wasn’t just about building brand awareness – we needed to have absolute clarity around our value proposition and our messaging throughout the different stages of the buying cycle.

“EC-PR helped us to formulate this, which was instrumental to ensuring the brand awareness campaign was aligned and laser-focused on our target audiences.

“Tenacious and challenging, coupled with a great spirit, Lorraine and Liz are committed to raising the bar and delivering a PR programme that is dynamic and impactful.”

“EC-PR has quickly grasped the complexities of the SELIS project and managed to transform them into a compelling media narrative.

“By building strong connections with our project partners and bringing them into media activities, they have strengthened the credibility of our story, which is important for future commercialisation of the project’s innovations. The results generated have been impressive.”

“EC-PR’s in-depth understanding of the cybersecurity industry has helped secure internal buy-in among our key executives and position them as thought leaders in the market. EC-PR’s strategic counsel has added great value to our PR function and empowered us to become more strategic in our approach to communications.”

Andrew Kays
CEO, Socura

“We have been totally sold on the value of PR. EC-PR’s expertise, dedication and ability to transform our proposition into a compelling media narrative has not just built the foundations for our brand awareness and delivered outstanding thought leadership, but also generated additional marketing outcomes, such as propelling forward our SEO ranking and social media engagement.”

Anna Bancroft
Marketing Manager, Socura

“The Mason Advisory cybersecurity brand profile has grown significantly, with regular commentary in key press. Our straight-talking, clarity of thought and problem-solving credentials are communicated consistently. The recognition that our brand receives in the media ensures our consultants are considered critical partners in a highly competitive market.”

Chief Executive, Mason Advisory

“You have offered us enormous value in getting us to this stage. When I think back to the lack of focus and structure that our message had originally to where we are today, for both our clients and our staff, it’s been a game changer for us and massive thanks to you for that.

“The delivery model, AssureRMF, has undoubtedly been the pivotal development. If you had told me at the start of this journey that a business like ours, operating in our space, could have a USP, I would never have believed you. I would not have thought it was possible. But we do, and we have, we stand out for all the right reasons. That’s remarkable.”
