News from UK press tour - John Brunner, Native Union

11/02/2010

"I thought this might interest you - please see attached the the itinerary for my Press Tour in London yesterday. 
 
It was a tough day with a hell of a lot of time spent rushing between meetings however we had a confirmed 100% hit rate. All of the journalists committed to writing about the product launch in their April editions. In addition to this GQ have confirmed to cover the MM04i in their April edition. Interestingly the response was spread across the range rather than just directed as MM04i which was what I half expected. 
 
I have to say that Ranieri did a fantastic job and I was really struck by the importance of the Press Tour and actually getting face to face with the writers as opposed to simply sending out a press release."

I’d really like to say say thank you to all of you! Michael Domke, Manager Public Relations, Wacom

BTW: I'd really like to say say thank you to all of you for all the preparations, planning, support and 'guidance' of the last weeks allowing us to have incredible successful three days of press tour. And the perfect places you picked for the informal meetings were not only fun, but ideally suited to our messages. I know, I can be annoying, and Neil joining me doesn't make it much better for you. We hope we haven't caused too much stress for you so you may be willing to help us in the future. I really felt like I do not need to take care of anything.

BIG THANK YOU!

Thanks for the press tour yesterday! - Robert Weiner, New Way Trading

Hi Tom

I wanted to drop you a note to officially say thanks for yesterday. People often complain but forget to say thanks and I wanted to just say that although our journey together has only just started but the first day out was, I think most successful.

Clearly we need to wait and see what coverage results but I thought the meetings were well planned and generally Wildcharge and we were very well received.

I look forward to seeing your follow ups and working with you going forward.

Best and thanks

Robert

We have had a staggering response to the article - Dan Levy, OverBoard

07/08/2009

"We have had a staggering response to the article in the weekend edition of the Mail on our new Aqua iPhone case. The phone has been ringing off the hook with enquiries, and Internet traffic is up 30% over last week, as well as orders on this item up approx 100%."

"As well as this, and importantly, Our Google position for key word ' waterproof phone case' has moved from position 6 on page one, to position 2, directly under our main competitor, who has been trading for 25 years! This is important, as when the direct traffic from the article naturally dies away we are still prominent on Google."

"I have to say you guys and Adam especially have done an incredible job for our Brand with this one!"

Taking floods of orders this morning! Dan Levy, OverBoard

I was at a charity fundraising do last night, which in spite of my worst fears, turned out to be really cracking evening. Anyway, at it, I met with the guys from thecentre:mk including Mike Graham, the in-house PR guy that you dealt with regarding the touch-screen stuff. I thought that you would like to know that he was really very complimentary about you guys. He said how professional you were and how pleasant to work with. Just thought you’d like to know. Thought P should know too!!!

Heartfelt Thanks - Michael Shaver, Etymotic

24/04/2009

Dear All,

Please do not let my lack of correspondence today in anyway lead you to believe that I was anything but overjoyed with the PR event last night.

You said you would deliver the press - you delivered the press in numbers higher than I expected.

You promised to take care of the logistics - you took care of the logistics.

You promised the food and drink wood be good - the food and drink were excellent from what I heard.

You promised coverage quickly and that it would be good press - you were wrong, it was EXCELLENT press coverage.

You didn't promise our party would be a bigger draw than Dell, Toshiba or T-Mobile's - but it was.

The Ranieri crew went above and beyond the call of duty. I would like to reiterate everything said today by Charles and Andy about the event, the attendees, the arrangements, the organizational flow of the room, and the efforts you all put in manning a post while the rest of us kumbayas talked with the press or did impressions.

It is work, but it was darn fun working with all of you. In short, excellent job and my heartfelt thanks to Ranieri, Charles and Andy. We need to do more launches.

Thanks and Cheers,

Michael

"I have been working with Ranieri Communications for many years now and I still find the care and attention to which they treat clients and journalists stands out in the industry. Releases are detailed but to the point and enquiries are dealt with quickly and pleasantly. If only more PR agencies could live up to their example my job would be a lot easier."

My life would be hell if it wasn't for PRs I can trust - Tom Dunmore, Stuff

20/06/2008

“As a an editor and freelance journalist, I'm constantly bombarded with irrelevant press releases and useless information. My life would be hell if it wasn't for PRs I can trust. The Ranieri team, for example, consistently deliver products and stories that are tailored to my needs, and they're also responsive to any requests I make. Plus they're a lovely bunch. What more can you ask?”
