Michael has a knowledge of the media that is second to none and a truly collegiate way of working, which meant he could easily become an extension of our team when we needed support. It's always a joy to have Michael on hand to help with a project.

I've always handled my own PR and have usually been quite successful at getting press coverage - at least that was what I thought until I was lucky enough to do a solo show at Pitzhanger Manor where The Press Office do all the PR. I was astonished at the amount of interest Michael drummed up about my exhibition and the diverse and interesting quarters from which it came. Not only did he get me coverage in national and international newspapers and magazines and online review sites, but he also arranged meetings for me with very influential bloggers, art curators and critics which led to some fantastic in-depth reviews and new audiences. When I had my next show I didn't hesitate to ask Michael to work with me again and have recommended him wherever I can. I was so impressed by the range of Michael's personal contacts throughout the art and design media and more widely, and realized that my own efforts would never match his ability to know and reach the opinion leaders in my field. It was a window into a whole new world of PR!

The Press Office comes with heaps of media savvy, enthusiasm, a great contacts book and intelligent ideas and solutions. It’s evident that they are well respected in our media field and have delivered some of our most memorable PR campaigns. For once a PR consultancy that thinks and talks in the same language that we do here. No agency bull, just intelligently applied PR nous, a great understanding of the media landscape and inspired selling in. They actually ‘get it’ first time, integrate well with our in-house team and connect perfectly with staff at all levels. From day one they had a total appreciation of what makes us tick and were immediately on our wavelength.

The Press Office did an amazing job with a complex press campaign over a six month period that involved the rebrand and relaunch of our organisation, as well as the opening of the Hendrix Flat to the public. Their understanding of the changes we were undergoing was crucial to our success and was dealt with with sensitivity, professionalism and full of enthusiasm. They lined up advance stories with key press and arranged a total of four media events for UK and international press, bloggers and instagrammers. The coverage we got was outstanding and much more than we hoped for or expected. Our success as Handel & Hendrix in London is thanks to them and has put us in good stead for the future. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to any arts or cultural organisations.
Handel & Hendrix in London
Our expectations were more than exceeded...managed to elevate the Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms profile through an incredible range of media, from international broadcast coverage to local and regional diary pieces. Excellent contacts and an easy confidence put them head and shoulders above other agencies we have worked with in the past. Their dedication, imagination and ability to build rapport have instilled in us a sense of confidence in their remarkable talents.

Completely professional, friendly and approachable. Their wide range of contacts together with their expert media awareness has led to excellent results for us, gaining us coverage in national, specialist and regional press and slso in broadcast TV radio. We would unreservedly recommend them to anyone looking to raise their profile and gain media attention in the culture/heritage sectors.
Pitzhanger Manor House & Gallery
A strikingly impressive and imaginative job of publicising the National Maritime Museum and communicating with the media. I've had many dealings with Michael as a TV journalist and have valued his quick and very direct help in providing facilities and information without delay.
