What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Businesses seeking public relations and communications support describe Midnight Communications as an extension of their own teams, with clients noting relationships spanning three or four years. Several reviewers mention the agency's skill in securing national, regional and broadcast coverage, from trade titles to BBC Radio Sussex and the national press. Strategic expertise and fresh perspectives come up often, particularly during pitches and selection processes, where the team is praised for helping brands communicate what matters to them. Named staff including Flo, Rose, Alex, Tom and Chris are singled out for their passion, creativity and dedication, with Flo's sessions on public relations and media interviews credited with equipping internal teams to face press encounters confidently.

Clients value the proactive approach, quick responses and willingness to contribute ideas beyond the agreed brief, as well as the agency's commitment to sustainability and ethical practice, evidenced by its B Corp status. Campaign work such as the digital engagement project for Newhaven Fort is cited as an example of consistent delivery, and the team's personable, down-to-earth manner makes collaboration enjoyable. A recurring point is that ambitions set out in first-year plans were surpassed, with the team's drive showing no sign of slowing.

We’ve been working with Midnight Communications for around four years now and they’ve become a very valuable extension of our internal PR function. They consistently secure exceptional coverage for us - from targeted trade titles across a wide range of sectors to broadcast opportunities like BBC Radio Sussex, as well as strong national coverage in outlets such as the Daily Express, BBC, The Guardian and The Telegraph. Their strength in newsjacking really stands out. They have a sharp instinct for what will land in the media and a clear understanding of how to turn complex legal insight into short, punchy commentary that journalists actually want to use. They also have excellent relationships across the media and work very efficiently with our fee earners, making the whole process smooth and responsive even when timelines are tight.

Flo's PR workshop really resonated with our team and enabled us to explore topics together that we’ve not discussed in a group this large before. Flo challenged our preconceptions and guided us toward shared conclusions as a team. Throughout the workshop, we completed practical tasks that pooled our existing knowledge and equipped us with the tools to plan our next steps with clearer goals. Nicola Drewe, Global Content Manager.

Any nervous anticipation of this workshop was quickly calmed and allayed by the wise words and experience of Chris and Flo who addressed each aspect of the dreaded 'media interview' with clear, bitesized, proactive advice. Is that a reporter I see ahead of me, wielding a microphone in my direction? Bring it on, I'm interview-ready thanks to Midnight!

Midnight Communications truly impressed us with their outstanding work on the digital engagement campaign for Newhaven Fort during its year-long closure for restoration. Flo, Rose, and Tom were integral to the success of the campaign, bringing their unique skills, creativity, and dedication to every step of the process. Thanks to their efforts, our online presence remained strong, engaging, and true to the historical significance of Newhaven Fort. If you’re looking for a team that combines expertise with passion, Midnight Communications is second to none!

I'm very impressed by Alex and Flo, the managing directors of Midnight. They manage to embed sustainability and ethics at the core of their business, while being a thriving comms & PR agency. They are a B Corp, demonstrating sustainable economic business is possible. They have a very acute vision of messaging and dont take impact for granted. + they are both very inspiring female leaders. I would totally recommend them for B2B PR for businesses looking to combine awareness raising & sustainability.
