“Democracy actually proactively came to us and told us to get planning for Coronavirus earlier than anyone else had mentioned it. They’re a partner we stand side by side with, and work with as an extension of our internal team.

“The Democracy team have been completely agile and flexible to the tough situation, and given recommendations which have stretched further than you’d expect from a traditional PR agency – whilst having rigour and strategy behind every recommendation.

“No brand ever wants to be in a crisis situation, but to have a partner who has quickly adapted and fully appreciates our business and who focuses on the safety of our team, dealers, and customers, has made it much easier than it could have been.

“Democracy has been a huge and important asset to the ELR in it’s battle to overcome the Covid-19 crisis. It’s no understatement that Democracy has been a true partner supporting ELR during one of the most difficult times in the railway’s 33 year history; combining strategic consultancy, tactical media outreach and providing creative solutions to our public communications message and various appeals.

The team is very approachable and so easy to work with. They have successfully managed to secure impressive coverage that has helped to encourage the public to donate nearly £100,000 to our fundraising campaign in eight weeks.”

“What I love about Democracy is that you are never a B, C or D client. You’re always an A.

They are reliable, conscientious and diligent. Their strategic team really understands the world of the tradespeople. Their media and digital team bring the creative to life in engaging and thought provoking ways.”

“Democracy made our 25-year celebration campaign with Dulux a breeze. The around the clock support from Democracy and the bright and innovative input and ideas created brilliant case studies of the schemes in our network, as well as the individuals and organisations they help in supporting with affordable paint for their community projects. The television and radio interviews conducted and arranged, which included our schemes in Inverness and the North West, helped us share our important message, which Democracy was fantastic in supporting and conducting. We’d highly recommend them to anybody looking to do a similar campaign!”

“Democracy has been relentless in their approach to deliver on our brief. They’ve made people reconsider what Knowsley is all about, driving footfall that has delivered tangible benefits to the overall business.”

“Democracy have been relentless in their approach. In just six months they’ve enabled us to have an authoritative voice on a national platform, driving trust, consideration and, crucially, sales. As a result customer awareness attributed to PR has doubled.”

“Democracy produced a visually impressive site that delivered on the functionality. The supporting blogger outreach campaign built links to help with Google ranking and widen the reach of the campaign. The feedback through Facebook made compelling reading – confessions from viewers about how they too had been victims of cyberbullying made the project really worthwhile.”

Project delivered in 2013

“Jen and the team have worked with us right from the early days of Democracy. In the past eight years they’ve secured headline coverage for the launch of our Orbit jars, made news with the perfect formula for marmalade on toast, created an aphrodisiac jam and launched a brand new high protein peanut butter. All great fun, but more importantly, they helped us to win new listings within the trade and keep our brand front of mind with our target customers.”
