Who we work with

At Briscoe PR we work with businesses across all sectors and of all shapes and sizes on their PR, social media and content requirements. To ensure we are giving the best possible service to our clients we have specialist account managers within the team and we are always learning…

Some of the sectors we have worked in include:

Travel and tourism

Our team has worked in-house at large travel companies and has written for many travel publications. They have vast knowledge and contacts across consumer and trade media to get you heard in all the right places.

Food and Drink

We are foodies here so love to shout out all things food and drink especially when working with local producers/suppliers. Some of our clients in this field include an up and coming Hampshire farm shop, artisan hamper producer, craft gin distiller and a local coffee supplier – which is great for us in the office!

Education

We helped Royal Hospital School in Suffolk run award-winning campaigns to encourage uptake on a charitable bursary and attract applicants for places at the school. We have great contacts in the industry finding the stories that get the best news coverage and social media engagement.

Public sector/emergency services

Our team has run PR campaigns and the press office function for local authorities as well as creating content for the huge audience that public sector organisations need to communicate with. Our MD managed the communications team at Hampshire Police for many years before setting up Briscoe PR.

Maritime

Being based on the south coast has given us great standing with the maritime industry and we are perfectly placed to keep our fingers on the maritime pulse. We have worked with several businesses in this sector to re-write their website copy and manage their social media platforms while they are sailing all over the world.

Aviation

Over the years we have run the NATS press office, supported their public affairs and assisted them with crisis communications. We have also worked with the national aviation industry group in managing its profile and ensuring its voice is heard in the airspace modernisation programme.

Reviews

Jeremy Gaskin, Founder of Hampshire Street Food Awards

We worked with Briscoe PR to launch the first ever Hampshire Street Food Awards. From the start they had lots of amazing ideas and strategies to help build the name and reputation of the awards. We have received numerous coverage in local news and amazing results on our social platforms. We are thrilled with the results and quality of work they produce and would happily recommend Briscoe PR. 

Lindsey, PMX

Last month we attended a half-day social media training course with Kevin. What attracted me to this company was the opportunity to have the course tailored to us, rather than be generic. This made it much easier to take away plenty of helpful advice, tips and strategies to build on our social media presence. Kevin ensured he worked at the right pace for us and we did not feel rushed. The company also offer ongoing support after the course has ended for any questions or clarifications we may need – I have taken advantage of this once so far and Sian was very helpful. We will certainly be keeping Kevin and his team involved in our future endeavours surrounding PR.

Jane Johnston, Head of Corporate Affairs NATS

In recent years Briscoe PR has supported the Corporate Affairs team liaising with members of the public, politicians and pressure groups. Kevin’s experience managing crisis communications has been especially useful for us in recent years – especially during the volcanic ash crisis and more recently following a helicopter crash in central London, and an aircraft fire and emergency landing at Heathrow Airport. Kevin’s calmness under pressure and his very high level of experience has been a superb asset to NATS. 

Ian Robinson, Managing Partner Churchers Solicitors

We hired Briscoe PR to assist us with our rebrand launch having not had a PR agency before. From the very start they provided a strategy that has delivered superb results – considerably beyond what we had been expecting. Their friendly and approachable expertise opened our eyes to what could be achieved with a clear strategy that was well executed. We have been so pleased with the results we have continued to work with Briscoe PR on an on-going basis and that is continuing to deliver superb results. I would be happy to recommend Briscoe PR. 

 

Simon Davis, Director Aqua Cooling Solutions

Briscoe PR has been invaluable in terms of raising our profile. From producing targeted press releases, writing topical blogs and identifying potential business stories, to promoting Aqua’s successes such as our coveted Queen’s Award for Enterprise: Innovation, the team provides a valuable and professional service at all times. We are especially pleased that Briscoe PR recently encouraged us to enter business awards — we would not have achieved Solent Business SME of the Year 2015 without their support.

 

Sabine Searle, Owner Eco German Kitchens

We were recommended to Briscoe PR by our IT guy as we knew we needed a stronger presence on Social Media but did not quite know on how to achieve this. After we booked our first session, Kevin and his team of experts first set up our existing Social Media accounts to look professional but also explained all the tools we could use and how end consumers would see this. Through our sessions we got good explanations, extremely valuable advice and a good understanding on how Social Media works and on how to make it work for your own business. What I especially appreciated was the fact that, before they came, they got their heads around our business and our product, and they understood what could be done. 

Steve Price, CEO City Catering Southampton

Since we began working with Briscoe PR our business has enjoyed significantly more exposure. From guidance on every form of social media to press releases and corporate publications, the Briscoe PR team has delivered on their promises, and raised our company profile to new levels. An added bonus for us has been the willingness of everyone at Briscoe PR to improve the media skills of our employees and guide us through the social media jungle. I feel that Briscoe PR has added real value to our organisation.

 

Nathan Chart Grand Harbour Hotel

I enjoyed working with Briscoe PR and in particular Kevin who was a great support in producing press releases and generating a great PR campaign during a six-month assignment. I very much look forward to working with Briscoe PR again in the future. 

 

Hilary Makin, Communications Manager New Forest National Park Authority

Kevin helped us fill in a gap between staffing appointments and was a fantastic help in producing press releases, organising photocalls and working on strategic documents. I would not hesitate to recommend him.  

Rob Andrews Ordnance Survey

High quality work, excellent service and professional and friendly approach are just some of many words which we could use to describe Briscoe PR. 

Lisa Preston University of Winchester

Briscoe PR is a great asset. They support our communications work by writing news releases and articles, and have provided bespoke one-to-one and group media training sessions. Claire Hall is a wonderful account manager. Her writing style and approach to the work is exactly what we need. And I can’t thank Kevin Briscoe enough for his support and knowledgeable experience.

Sarah Winder, Marketing Manager Stagecoach South

Briscoe PR is a great PR agency to work with. Friendly and down to earth, their work shows great attention to detail and they were quick to understand a new sector. They deliver on time, every time, and working with them is effortless. Briscoe PR is like an extension to the team, on hand for advice whenever we need and you know that you are not just another business within their portfolio – they really care about getting results (which they do!).
