Rachel transformed our approach to PR. She created powerful and relevant local campaigns that were truly positive for public relations with local people, not just press releases.
As a result of her initiative, ideas and hard work our PR is now more meaningful, gets better results and has done wonders for our local reputation.
I would not hesitate to recommend Building Relations.
Gary Ennis, former Regional MD for Barratt Developments Southern & London (now CEO at untypical Group)
They’re a really nice group of people. I feel like they’re on my side, and they’re willing to support me in my role as well. Elsewhere in the business, I’ve seen how they work with others, and they seem equally approachable, very friendly, professional and very responsive as well. I really enjoy working with them.
Lesley Treacy, Head of ESG at Dandara
I have worked with the team at Building Relations for many years and they are some of my go-to PRs. The team are reliable, approachable, put me in touch with clients that are always really helpful, are always fast to respond, with good ideas, and overall a pleasure to work with.
The team’s experience means they know the property journalism scene well and would be valuable to work on any brand.
Hugh Graham, Senior Writer, The Sunday Times and The Times
Having worked with Building Relations PR for over a year now, we work closely with the team to help position us within the student accommodation space. They really understand the property sector and have been instrumental in increasing our online presence.
From securing coverage through press releases, reactive commentary or thought leadership pieces, they consistently identify strong media hooks and find a story where there might not be one.
For anyone interested in boosting their brand through media relations, we can’t recommend Building Relations enough.
Tom Dobson, Chief Operations Officer at Better Green Living
I have a long-standing relationship [with BR] from my days covering property at the Telegraph.
The team are highly efficient and can turn around information within a few hours, which is rare.
[BR] is proactive and creative with ideas and knows what is needed for feature stories – case studies!
Anna White, freelance journalist for Evening Standard, Guardian and The Telegraph
Rachel is a first class PR. She has excellent writing skills, an extremely indepth knowledge of the property market and is always very happy to go the extra mile to help in whatever way she can.
She has the ability to ‘think outside the box’ too which means that she has some excellent ideas and is a reliable source of inspirational story lines.
Having known Rachel for many years now, I have found her help to be invaluable and very much enjoy working with her.
Lynda Clark, Editor of First Time Buyer Magazine
Building Relations have strong relationships with journalists and editors, which is worth its weight in gold! I’ve previously tried to manage PR myself and it was tough trying to get relationships going with journalists, so it’s nice to hand that element over to experts who can really get things done.
The team really does care and it is a genuine pleasure working with them. They are super responsive, bring fresh ideas, and aren’t afraid to challenge my views on what they feel would work best and achieve the most coverage.
Our recent PR with Bristol City Council has generated at least 3 new prospect meetings for us and counting. And our first official Labour Party fringe event, which BR helped us organise and host, has already led to several new client meetings and created quite a bit of buzz online for us. I see PR as a key channel to raise our profile and credibility within the sector, so the fact that it’s helping us win new business too is a bonus.
Jonathan Wootten, Chief Marketing Officer for SimplyPhi
Building Relations delivered a highly successful event, bringing together senior leaders from target organisations while also creating an engaging outline for interesting conversation, chaired by a national journalist. The team took the time to understand our business needs to ensure the event would meet and exceed our expectations, and providing design services, photography and videography under one umbrella meant that entire event was handled from beginning to end by Building Relations.
