As a consultant I recognise the importance of bringing in expert help to achieve tough objectives, which is why I engaged Nellie PR to help me become established as a high-profile marketing speaker and commentator. In just six months, Nellie’s PR very focused approach secured more coverage and speaker engagements than I ever expected. I couldn’t have asked for more from this campaign.
