Defining ‘PR’

Public relations is the discipline of building and managing reputation with the objective of earning customer trust and influencing positive engagement, which creates value and goodwill for a business brand. It’s an ongoing process of focused communication activity that’s aimed at delivering a commercial return on investment.

As business-to-business communicators, Blackbird’s PR team are specialists in creating thought leadership content that informs and engages. We have a proven track record in making a tangible difference to client reputations and brand performance.

PR is a vital business tool

Successful businesses are built on their reputation, so PR is a vital tool that offers more ‘bang for your buck’ than other forms of marketing. That’s because strong, newsworthy content generates exposure, credibility and brand advocates on social media, which money can’t buy

PR is the process of getting someone else to say how good your business is, which creates a positive reputation, whilst advertising is primarily a sales signpost.

PR creates engaged audiences and helps to influence behaviour, which can involve turning sceptics into fans, revitalising past loyalty and even creating brand champions.

I had the pleasure of working with Stuart and Blackbird on a number of projects over the past 12 months. Stuart's writing skills are second to none, he has a wealth of connections and knowledge and knows public relations inside out - which I found out first hand when he spoke about the subject at one of our events. I would recommend his services.

We appointed Stuart to manage the PR launch of our latest vehicle security innovation. Thanks to his efforts, in the first few months we had won the major Innovation Award at Automechanika, Europe's largest industry trade show and secured significant media coverage and reach through social media channels. His services offered excellent value and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Blackbird.”

Testimonials

Can't recommend Blackbird enough, after a poor experience with my previous marketing and PR company Blackbird are a breath of fresh air. Always up to speed very quickly when working with new and complex ideas and bring a wealth of experience.- Matt Harvey

Stuart and Blackbird have worked with us for over 4 years. They are always there for us when needed, and have maximised our exposure regionally and nationally on a number of occasions. They have identified key industry publications for us, which has led to further trade enquiries and exposure off the back of those. The press releases are always accurate and very professionally and concisely written. We look forward to doing more business with Blackbird and having them represent us as our PR agents in the near future as our business continues to expand. I would have no hesitation in recommending Stuart and his team to any other business, large or small as the difference they can make is significant!- Kamran Saleem

Blackbird is a business that delivers exactly what it says and more. Stuart's attention to detail is second to none. Truly a PR professional, you should try them.- Gary Griffin
