Gordon Blackstock, Sunday Post: “I've always found Advantage PR an extremely professional business to deal with. A lot of PR firms fail to grasp what journalists are looking for, the deadline we may be under and that not all publications are the same. But Advantage PR have always been able to respond to my queries promptly as well as having an in-depth knowledge of what our readers are looking for in a feature.”
Anthony Roberts, Travel Writer, Manchester Evening News: “Clare arranged my superb press trip to Scottish Highlands. She put together a bespoke package that allowed me to gain the best possible experience of her clients' facilities and was helpful, efficient and personable from start to finish, providing the personal touches sometime lacking in bigger operators.”
Richard Elias, Feature Desk, Scottish Daily Express: “Advantage PR does a great job with Clare regularly coming up with helpful ideas and news lines. Suggestions such as the chocolate school for an Easter Feature and the invitation to the off-road skills' course which Tom went on provided us with readable and excellent picture-led copy. Clare, I know it can't be easy doing the job you do with all the competition but I think, taking everything into consideration, you manage to cover all the bases - and some.”
Tom Little, Editor, Edinburgh Evening News: ”Clare Graham is one of the easiest to deal with, and most enthusiastic, PR's it has been my pleasure to work with.”
Sonja Cox, Features, Aberdeen Press and Journal:“Clare is certainly not as pushy or arrogant as some of the larger PR firms in Edinburgh and Glasgow. If only some people would realise that being nice can actually get results!”
Paul Reoch, Dundee Courier News Desk: “I moved to the Courier's office in Dunfermline in September 2009 and not long afterwards started dealing with Clare Graham of Advantage PR. Clare, who is a sole trader PR, is always very professional and provides a good quality service. Clare has provided good stories which I have used for our newspaper and she is always very courteous and a pleasure to deal with.”
Jenny Shields, Property Correspondent, Scottish Daily Mail: “Clare provides a superb PR service. She is unfailingly calm, collected and helpful. She always delivers, no matter how short the deadline - in short, she understands what a journalist requires.”
Kirsty McLuckie, The Scotsman: “In my experience, Clare is always quick to respond and has a very good grasp of what is needed.”
Heather Rose, Property Correspondent, Scottish Daily Express: “Advantage PR has its finger on the pulse of who's who in the Scottish newspaper world inclosing contact details for the many specialist freelance journalists. Importantly too, it understands the crucial matter of deadlines. As a result the agency knows to whom and when to issue releases and journalists know that the releases are likely to be newsworthy and sent out in good time to be followed up.”
Elaine Hunter, freelance journalist - Daily Record, The Herald: “Clare Graham is a very professional and hard-working PR. She has organised many trips for me for travel features that were featured in the Herald; Sunday Mail and Daily Record. You are always assured of a high standard of trip, extremely well organised - with special treats thrown in on Clare's trips. It's a five star service and I can't wait for the next one.”
Adrian Caffrey, Features Editor, Birmingham Mail: “Attracting journalists from Birmingham to spend their hard-earned holidays in the northernmost parts of the country is no easy task. But Clare ensured my trip to the Outer Hebrides was so pleasurable that I had no hesitation in accepting her invite to a hotel in Dornoch, Sutherland, later that same year. In both cases, the holidays made the long drives more than worthwhile - even with my dodgy knees! Clare provided me with all the information I needed to both enjoy my holiday and write my 2 page travel reports, which I believe were very well received by her clients. Everybody's happy! I am now looking forward to my third Clare co-ordinated trip to Scotland and hope I 'm fortunate enough to work with her for many years to come!”
Gabe Stewart, Editor at The Pulse Magazine: “Clare delivers a no nonsense, straightforward service, ideal for busy journalists who have no time to waste. I can rely on her to present me with ideas that are workable, and for her to follow them up in a user-friendly manner.”
