Testimonials
“I don’t receive a barrage of dull press releases, and instead Stephanie is determined to be creative for her clients and puts solid ideas to me specific for OE Retailer that meet with our ethos. Between us we end up with a comprehensive piece that meets Spring PR’s clients needs as well as the magazines and helps to educate the industry about current issues affecting all. I’m happy to work closely with Stephanie because her background means that she understand how magazines work, and she delivers.”
Rebecca Corbally, editor, OE Retailer and OE
“We are delighted with the results that your PR work has brought to the Ruffwear brand. We originally chose Spring PR (a) because you had that certain, special “fizz” in your outlook and creativity which we felt was exactly right for the brand, and (b) because we received such great testimonials about you from other companies and media representatives.
I am delighted to confirm that we wish to extend your brief to cover additional brands that we represent”.
Ralph White, Managing Director, Rosker
“Everyone thinks it’s an easy life writing about outdoor gear. But the truth is most companies are hard to deal with, don’t send what is required and don’t keep me up to date with developments. That is why a good PR contact is so important to me. Spring PR keeps me up to date, chases companies and makes sure I have the product and information when I need it. There are only a handful of PR companies that I would recommend and Spring PR sits at the top of the tree. Keep up the good work and thanks for making my job easier.”
Graham Thompson, Trail magazine
“All PRs are good at talking but precious few are as good at listening. Stephanie and Mel at Spring PR excel at both, providing me with the information and kit I need rather than just hyping their client’s latest products. They’re reliable, enthusiastic and a real pleasure to work with. Above all, they actually know – and care – what they’re talking about.”
Mark Harris – writer for The Independent
“The dream PR is charming, patient, adaptable and helpful – and never hassles you. Could such a PR really exist? Well actually, yes. Spring PR is all of those things and more. I’ve dealt with the Spring PR founder Stephanie Briggs for three years, and could not have wished for a happier or more productive relationship.”
Simon O’Hagan, Assistant Editor, The Independent
“It’s always refreshing to speak to someone with so much energy and enthusiasm and who is genuinely nice with it”
Ben Walley, Sales and Marketing Manager UK for Polartec®.
“Having dealt with Steph and Spring PR for over 4 years now, I can honestly say the way she operates is a lesson to all other PR companies. She always manages to tread that fine line between being helpful without being pushy, has all the information at her finger tips, is prepared to go out of her way to help you get samples and details at the last minute and generally is an absolute pleasure to work with.”
Matthew Barbour, writer, Men’s Health
“An excellent and professional service. Spring PR has been a great help in building awareness of the PrimaLoft brand name in the UK outdoor market.”
Chris Humphris, Concept III, distributors of PrimaLoft in the UK
“As a journalist in the outdoor sector, I place a high value on PR companies who are reliable, credible and efficient. Spring PR is an excellent example of how the industry should be run: they know their clients’ products, express the selling points fluently and are completely reliable with delivery. If Spring PR promises that a product will be on my desk, I know it will be. As a result, I call them first for product testing and placement. Simple.”
Judy Armstrong, outdoor writer.
“Some PR’s simply bend your ear while the good ones, like Stephanie and the Spring PR team, concentrate on the story. They have their fingers on the good gear pulse, really understand their products, and know how to marry style with technology. And in a world of unkept promises they get the stuff to me when they say they will.”
Jonathan Futrell, Good Gear Guide,Sunday Times
“It’s a pleasure to deal with the enthusiastic and professional team at Spring PR. They deliver the goods consistently – with flair and good humour.”
John Traynor, editor, Outdoor Review, Outdoor Pursuits, On Foot
“I tend to get sent all the important information I need, before I even know I need it – now that is efficient PR.”
Alun Davies, editor, Adventure Travel
“I’ve worked with Spring PR for many years and have always found the company responsive, informative, helpful and efficient.”
Chris Townsend, gear tester, TGO magazine
“It is well known that I operate a league table (like the Premiership) whereby press and PR contacts win or lose points for efficiency, communication etc. Spring PR are always near the top. They are very helpful and friendly and always keep me posted should any problems arise.”
Michelle Daniel – gear editor, Country Walking Magazine
“When I’m stuck between a deadline and a hard place, Stephanie Briggs and Spring PR have never let me down. They’re highly efficient, reliable, enthusiastic and charming to work with. Unlike some agencies, they know the brands they represent inside out and, as often as not, they’ll be the first people I turn to for information, products or advice.”
