TESTIMONIALS & MEDIA CASE STUDIES

"My eyes lit up when I saw had a missed call from you, and I wasn't disappointed. You know what makes a good story, and call accordingly. It really does make life so much easier when dealing with people of your experience and knowledge."

Dan King, The Sun

"Fantastic advice, and a phenonmenal job helping me promoting myself after I launched my new business. Thanks to you, my name was out there in no time, and I've already made lots of great contacts. A brilliant job!"

Phil Wadley, Martson Property Maintenance, Solihull

"This is brilliant – thank you! Exactly what I want and the speed of your production is amazing!"

"Quite simply, you're brilliant. You have done an amazing job for Archery GB, raising our sport's profile to levels of awareness we could never have previously dreamt of. Now we have record membership numbers, beginners courses booked up throughout the country, and unprecedented interest from the media. Oh, and we also have a terrific Twitter account that is down to you. I recommend you, without hesitation, to anyone and everyone!"

David Harrison, chairman, Archery GB

"Wow! This (a first Press Release we did for a new client) does look good! Nice job!"

 Stephanie Middleton, Managing Director, Outhouse-UK

"You've done a wonderful job publicising the first ever World Alternative Games, and your hard work and enthusiasm has been much appreciated and respected by all. That we've had interest from all over the world, let alone the country, has been fantastic, and you were, of course, instrumental in making sure one PR opportunity turned into a big hit for us, with national newspaper coverage after the bog snorkelling couple got engaged at our event! Your efforts have really helped raise the profile of the event, and in turn, that's given us the confidence to go forward with great vigour for putting on the next Games in two years time."

Karen Perkins, organising committee, World Alternative Games, Llanwrtyd Wells.

"Thanks for all your help while we were filming at the World Alternative Games. It was a pleasure to work, and deal, with such a true pro!"

Peter Ford, Producer, Transworld Sport

"Thank you so much for the advice you gave us, and the publicity generated, for a charity fund raising event I organised. I was told to ring you when I was asking around for help on raising the profile of my cause, and you justified people's faith by doing a fantastic job for me, and gaining the event some unprecedented publicity - a whole page in the Birmingham Mail just blew us all away. Thank you so much, and to anyone reading this testimonial, I cannot recommend the Red Alert Media team enough."

Kim Goldingay, fund raiser, Marie Curie Hospice, Solihull

"One phone call, one request for a bit of information - and your response was first class: sorted within half an hour. You even took the trouble to find out the style of the item we were doing, and sent copy back accordingly, which was exactly what we were looking for. Absolutely superb."

Pete Beech, sportsdesk, The Guardian

"Thank you so, so much for recommending me to the BBC as a co-commentator for the Olympic Games; for your confidence in me, for your support in championing my cause, for helping me in my preparations, and for all your fantastic help before and during the Olympics. You're a legend!"

Lizzy Mynott, BBC Commentator at the London Olympics

"We have been trying for so long to interest the local media in our project, and all the good work that goes on here. Now, thanks to your help, we have had a lovely article in our local newspaper, which is really positive and helpful. Thank you so much!"

"Thank you so much for such fantastic help in organising an interview for my programme. It's such a pleasure to deal with someone who knows how we work, and gives me so much help to make sure we get the appropriate person for the programme. You've been extremely helpful, and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you."

Hayley Compton, BBC London

Great work - immediate reaction when alerted to a potentially tricky situation, great advice, very good Press Release, and an extremely helpful and positive article then published. Excellent!

Alex Radley, Noble Solicitors

Great advice on the best angle to go for, and people to use, when told of my client's brief for your client. Very helpful, and always extremely curteous.

Nick Sessions, Independent film maker

Excellent stuff. Productive and effective very quickly. Thank you.

Mat Lawrence, MLE Pyrotechnics

"Thanks for putting on an excellent Media Training day. This is training we hope will never be needed for a difficult situation, but it will stand us all in very good stead when faced with a camera, microphone, or notepad, whatever the circumstances. Every one of us will take considerable confidence from having been through this exercise."

Paul Mann, Valiant-Petroleum

"Thank you Peter. We rang you for some urgent advice on recommendation, and you were honest, helpful and ultimately prompt in delivering what we needed. It is much appreciated, and well worth the investment."

Terry Warren, jhai Limited, Dorset.

"Thank you to Peter of Red Alert Media, for responding so promptly to my late night text seeking some much needed advice, and to arranging to speak to me at such an unsociable hour this morning. And as ever, it was great advice and guidance."

Katie Dowell, The Reporter's Academy

"Hi Peter, thank you so much for recommending me to, and getting me onto Radio Northampton. I had a wonderful time and they were all so welcoming. I really enjoyed the experience and have had some very positive feedback from friends who listened to the programme. They have invited me back too!"

Sue Upton, The Orchid Group.

"Thank you so much to Red Alert Media for the work you did for us over six months. Your Press Releases were very good, very effective, and you clearly push all the right buttons, because your efforts put us on the front pages, earned us double page spreads, broadcast interviews, and high profile appearances on national TV and radio. You also gave us sound advice, and were very honest to deal with at all times. When I needed PR help, people told me to contact Red Alert Media, and having worked with you, I can see why you are held in high esteem."

Stephen Church, Church's China, Northampton.

"Peter - as a correspondent with a high profile news organisation, dealing with top quality PR people who know the business inside out, and know exactly what journalists need and want, makes life so much more agreeable. And you fulfil that brief - you have always been a pleasure to deal with because I know I'm dealing with someone who helps, not hinders. No wonder you get so many glowing testimonials, not just from clients, but from journalists too. Keep up the good work, and I hope Red Alert Media continues to go from strength to strength."

Jon Terrett, Washington Correspondent, al Jazeera English.

"The Red Alert Media team are right up there among the very best PR people I deal with. No doubt about that whatsoever. Peter, you and your team are extremely reliable, your experience means you know exactly what the media need from you, you give us great ideas, and are extremely helpful organising interviews and filming. Because of that, you make our life so much easier. I don't jump through hoops when I deal with you, I jump for joy, because I am dealing with very professional and reliable people!!"

Mike Bushell, Presenter and Reporter, BBC Breakfast

"Peter, many thanks for your contribution to the media and PR activity for the Archery World Cup Grand Final in Edinburgh. It was fantastic having you on board - you're hard working, pro-active, energetic, and a fantastic source of good copy, which the media lapped up, and did wonders for putting our event on the map.

"Because of the experience and support you provided, it gave me the time to pitch all the good stories you were supplying, and between the two of us, I think it's fair to say we raised the profile of the event way beyond expectations. You're a real pro, and having worked with you, I can see why you're held in such high esteem by so many people. Great work!"

Paddy Cuthbert, Podge Publicity, Scotland. Tel: 07968 699636

"Having you guys on board was as good as it gets. A fantastic performance with the phenomenal editorial coverage you achieved for us over four months, giving our show enormous profile, as reflected in the interest from the public. You also served as the equivalent of an insurance policy in the way you dealt with one or two little local difficulties that could have proved troublesome and unhelpful, but you were on the case as quick as a flash. It proved beyond doubt that you know your business inside out, and also command the respect of the people you deal with."

Jill Roach, Stage Right Productions.

"What a fantastic job you guys did with the publicity for Peter Pan at The Deco. Absolutely phenomenal - in three months the publicity generated in and around Northamptonshire by you and your team became the talk of the town. No stone was left unturned in the search for a PR and media opportunity, you complimented and supported our marketing strategy brilliantly, and the audiences that flocked through the doors during the show's run were a testimony to your efforts. Fantastic job, well done, and it was a pleasure working with you."

Steve Bishop, Beach Marketing

"Thanks for a fantastic media training day - very informative, with excellent advice and instruction from people who clearly know their subject inside out. And not only did we learn a lot, we all had a great laugh too, which was a bonus! I will now tell all my clients how good you guys are."

Ben Keith, Managing Director, Star Sports.

"We really appreciate what you send in to us, and we know that when you send out a Press Release it comes with a full understanding of what we're looking for, it is very well written, and that you send it on merit. Because of that, your copy is very easy to turn round and send out as a news story, and it therefore keeps you ahead of the game."

The Press Association sportsdesk

But getting me on Radio 5 Live so quickly and easily the other day was your star turn so far - it just proves you have the contacts, the trust of the media you deal with, and, most importantly, that all of you at Red Alert Media really know what you're doing. I'm a very satisfied customer!"
