    CLARE ROBERTSON
    SENIOR MARKETING EXECUTIVE, UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS

  • Your thoughtfulness and attention to detail have been such a help, indeed a saviour. We quite literally couldn’t have done this without you.

    PROFESSOR CALUM NEILL
    LEAD FOR RESEARCH DEGREES, EDINBURGH NAPIER UNIVERSITY

  • Campus PR are the first PR company I have dealt with (and I have dealt with a few) who do not try to “dumb down” the story or sensationalise it.

    DR ROSS BOYLE
    UNIVERSITY OF HULL

  • We enjoyed working with Campus PR – Dan went above and beyond to engage with our project, understand the fundamentals of our research and support the delivery of our new website and video animations. Thank you!

    DR JACOB SEIFERT, LECTURER IN ECONOMICS
    UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

    DR ALYX MATTISON
    RESEARCH AND IMPACT SUPPORT OFFICER, UNIVERSITY OF BRADFORD

  • You’ve been nothing but enthusiastic and skilful in your approach – especially in the training – and we’ve enjoyed working with you. You’ve left us much more able to share the valuable work we produce and much more confident in doing so.

    FRASER BATTYE
    PRINCIPAL CONSULTANT, THE STRATEGY UNIT

  • Thank you for all your work to ensure this research reaches a national audience. It's the first time my research has been featured in a national newspaper, so this is awesome.

    DR MARLEY WILLEGERS
    BANGOR UNIVERSITY

  • Working with Campus PR is a real joy. Their flexible but professional approach make our life easy. They have such a great intuition and can produce content based on a minimal brief, which is a skill in its own right.

    ANNA LEWANDOWSKA
    INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS COORDINATOR, UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS

  • This is an amazing result and underpins the value of what you and your team do beyond the media coverage itself. We are really appreciative of our partnership with Campus PR.

    SUE SMITH
    HEAD OF PRESS & COMMUNICATIONS, ASTON UNIVERSITY

  • Just wanted to quickly thank you all for the support with this - the most 'attention' a paper of mine has ever received, and my highest score on Altmetric by a long way.

    ROB EVANS
    SENIOR LECTURER IN PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY, ASTON UNIVERSITY

  • Please pass on our thanks to your team for their fantastic work on the three case studies. It has been great to work with you and the team. I very much look forward to creating opportunities that would allow us to work together in the future!

    PROFESSOR DAVID SEBAG-MONTETFIORE
    CLINICAL DIRECTOR, LEEDS CANCER RESEARCH CENTRE

  • Thank you so much for your work and insights, which have created so much coverage for April Fakes Day and the great research Patricia Kingori has been doing. It is a really impressive range and spread of media and has helped promote the exhibitions, workshops and projects immensely.

    JOHN KENNEDY
    COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER, TORCH, UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD

  • We very much enjoy working with the Campus PR team on the press activities at our annual Congress. We can really rely on their expertise, they just know the drill. They are very flexible and, not unimportantly, also great fun to work with!

    JARKA BLOEMBERG
    GLOBAL MANAGER SALES & MARKETING, EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION OF UROLOGY

  • Many thanks for all your work over the past few months. It has been great working with you. The quality of your releases superb, everything is done efficiently, and basically – you have seamlessly fitted into the UCL Media Relations team!

    HENRY KILLWORTH
    HEAD OF MEDIA RELATIONS, UCL

  • I really appreciated your input – I felt in safe hands! I know my requests were a bit random at times but you responded beautifully and actually just knowing we could call on you was so helpful.

    RACHEL CASWELL
    SENIOR HEALTHCARE ANALYST, THE STRATEGY UNIT

  • I cannot state highly enough how impressed we were with Campus PR. Sam and the team were so responsive, flexible, understanding and skilled in their expertise. We are delighted with the end result.

    CERI BAIN
    RESEARCH & INNOVATION WEBPAGE PROJECT COORDINATOR, EDINBURGH NAPIER UNIVERSITY

  • Thanks again for the incredible help you gave us in pulling together our REF submission. Your skill in drawing out the narratives and evidence has made it all so much stronger – we couldn’t have done it without you! I hope to get the chance to work with you again in the future.

    DR GERRI MATTHEWS-SMITH
    EDINBURGH NAPIER UNIVERSITY

  • Just to say that the science team are over the moon with the coverage, as are our funders! Thank you so much.

    LAURA HOLLAND
    DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS AND CULTURE, ROSALIND FRANKLIN INSTITUTE

  • Flexible. Professional. Invaluable. Campus PR will always go the extra mile and act as a vital extension of the team. Above all, they are honest and trustworthy. If you want to talk through how and why we’ve worked with them, just drop me a line.

    RACHEL BARSON
    HEAD OF MEDIA RELATIONS, UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS

  • I was absolutely delighted that the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund Tissue Bank featured on the BBC News! This was a complex project to pull together – in particular co-ordinating and liaising between so many partner institutions and individual people. You did this with great patience and diplomacy and gave the Tissue Bank the best start we could have hoped for.

    MAGGIE BLANKS
    FOUNDER, PANCREATIC CANCER RESEARCH FUND

  • We’d been speaking to Smith & Nephew for a few years about working with us to commercialise the technology and we’d had some excellent publications on the research, but what got the company’s attention was the media coverage which Campus PR helped us achieve. The science on its own couldn’t do it – it was the publicity that clinched the deal.

    PROFESSOR SHEILA MACNEIL
    UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD

  • Working with Campus PR has been a great experience. We had a huge amount of interest in our project, which raised the department’s profile and helped us with our post-doctoral recruitment.

    DR RODERICH GROSS
    UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD

  • We've been really pleased with the work you've done with engineering. It’s been a pleasure working with you all for so long and you've done some fantastic work for us.

    MEDIA RELATIONS MANAGER, UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD
