Testimonials

 

"Emily Raleigh created and managed the charity’s first professional appeal launch and press campaign for a new research programme. The campaign promoted the charity’s ‘gonads’ appeal; raising funds for medical research, to which the charity has pledged significant funds, therefore it was imperative that awareness was raised through the media campaign. Emily secured coverage in local, regional and national press, radio and TV and created a social media ‘buzz’. Ultimately the charity hoped for national coverage of the appeal, but realistically hadn’t expected it; we were all thrilled with the coverage Emily achieved. The campaign reached a collective audience of over 8 million. The press campaign also promoted a short film created by the charity to explain and promote the ‘gonads’ appeal. During the week of the appeal launch, the views of this film increased by 196%.

"In addition to generating fantastic media coverage, Emily provided professional advice to the charity team for handling press enquiries as well as giving emotional support to young cancer patients who shared their experiences of cancer through the campaign. The charity is incredibly grateful to Emily for making our first full media campaign a huge success and a pleasant experience and will continue to use her services in the future."
