What our Clients Have Said About Us

Marion Hawkins, marketing manager, Applix UK

'Applix is a global provider of Internet-based Customer Relationship Management, Customer Analytics and Business Planning Solutions for Global-2000 customers. Although having been established in 1983 and with thirty-two of the Fortune 50 plus more than half of the Fortune 500 as customers, Applix as a company was virtually unknown in the IT industry. Introducing Da Vinci Public Relations into the equation in January 2000 has seen a complete turnaround of this situation with articles appearing verbatim in the FT and in several other leading industry publications. The awareness created has led to various speaking opportunities and has established Applix as a provider of intelligent, objective thoughtpiece articles as well as first-class business solutions.'

Alan Woodward, director, Charteris plc

'As a direct result of the services provided by Da Vinci PR we have witnessed a dramatic increase in our corporate profile, achieving exposure in the national press, broadcast media and trade press. We have been deeply impressed by the ability of Da Vinci not only to work with our specialised industry experts to craft suitable material for publication but also in their ability to place that material in high-profile positions within the media. This success has led us to increase the involvement of Da Vinci in our business and to seek ways in which to exploit their talents in, for example, production of case histories through direct liaison with our clients.'

Alex Dembitz, chairman, Deloitte & Touche Central Europe

'You advised both the IDOM Group and subsequently Deloitte & Touche Central Europe over the formulation of a PR strategy and its subsequent implementation. You helped to promote the name, products and services of our consulting activities both in Western Europe and throughout the Central European region. You have always been thorough in your research and follow-up activity, ensuring that the messages reach the target audience in a clear and focused manner. You were able to build an excellent understanding of the professional services activities of Deloitte & Touche Central Europe and the many facets of our geography, which comprise fifteen independent nations at very different stages of economic and social development. '

Roger Forder, chief executive, Euraplan

'Our first year of working with Da Vinci PR has included creating media briefings, press releases, feature articles, casestudies and newsletters. They have proved to be responsive, imaginative and industrious. They were instrumental in assisting us to carry out a very successful survey of pension fund trustees.

'Da Vinci PR have gained a rapid understanding of our software and our niche market, and successfully utilised this understanding into positive and voluminous coverage within the media. They are proactive in developing newsworthy stories, and above all know what will and what will not make the pensions news.

'Da Vinci PR plays a critical role in our marketing efforts and we have gained maximum returns on our campaign budget - definitely worth the investment.'

Mike Meyrick, director, MBA International

'Da Vinci's PR service is a truly professional one that is pro-active when it needs to be, devoted, highly responsive and backed by a superb quality of writing and research.'

Michael Douglas, managing partner, the Quo Group

'Da Vinci Public Relations has won us extensive coverage in a wide variety of key professional media and newspapers, including important coverage in the Financial Times. We regard your activities as a key element in our ongoing marketing campaign.'

Christine Hennessey, sales and marketing manager, Royal Olympic Cruises

'Your hard work has given us an exposure in a variety of consumer and travel trade media which we would not have otherwise received and has provided a most useful basis for future promotional activity.'

Charles L. Gay, managing director, Shreeveport

'Having your organisation writing for us has been like having a full-time copywriter as a member of the team, enabling us to achieve consistency in our marketing material. You have provided a true value-for-money service.'

John Rivans, marketing director, Total Systems plc

'We contacted you with some trepidation, as our previous experience with public relations consultants had been disastrous. But you proved to be as good as your word. You delivered what you promised and continue to do so. In an industry as potentially imprecise as PR, it's often difficult to achieve the results clients want. That, however, is precisely what you've given us.'
