| Our brief was to significantly improve the quality and focus of Knight Frank’s media coverage across the Manchester and Liverpool offices. Roland Dransfield built momentum and interest to engage the team internally, creating a team of ‘hub’ spokespeople as industry experts, resulting in stronger media relationships and more sustained presence. On and offline media coverage increased fourfold within the first six months and continues to grow. |
“We needed a PR company which would offer strategic and proactive advice. Roland Dransfield is highly professional and has taken the time to understand our business culture, all the time showing a great passion for the work they do. Coverage levels have risen beyond the targets set and the Knight Frank team is now motivated to engage in the PR effort.” |
| Roland Dransfield began working with TVonics in August 2009 to put together a regional PR campaign for the Granada TV digital switchover, which happened in November 2009. We helped TV Onics to raise awareness of the switchover in the region, and educate consumers how to go digital in their home and position the company as ‘one to watch’ in the Granada region.
|
Our campaign targeted regional business press with the company story based around its executives, its growth and performance as a regional company and a national provider of digital set top boxes along with voice of the industry pieces on the future of digital television. This helped us amass a fantastic level of press coverage in regional, target media. We were consistent in attaining features on Channel M, BBC North West TV, BBC Radjo Merseyside and print coverage in the then Crains Manchester Business, the Manchester Evening News and The Business Desk. |
| In August 2007, Roland Dransfield PR was appointed by Argent and The Carlyle Group to handle corporate and scheme-related PR in the North, including the 675,000 sq ft mixed-use development, Piccadilly Place, which is part-owned by Carlyle.
|
Business and consumer PR includes positioning commentary and thought leadership from key members of the team within targeted regional and national features, regular news updates, newsletters, stunts, awards submissions and on-site events. Roland Dransfield PR organised Piccadilly Place’s completion celebration in November 2009, bringing together 300 civic figureheads, business and property professionals, to celebrate the launch of the mixed-use. |
