Media coverage that grew noticeably after engagement is the thread running through accounts of this Edinburgh agency's work. Several buyers describe how public relations became a regular, dependable activity for their organisations rather than an occasional exercise. Graeme, who is named in feedback, is credited with political understanding and contacts that helped during a legislative campaign at the Scottish Parliament. The support given to a brand launch, from devising a survey and interpreting its results to drafting a release and placing it with the right recipients, is described as central to that campaign's success, which brought coverage on national television and radio as well as in the press.

An observation shared by more than one reviewer is the value of having specialist help available at short notice, particularly for small teams that need a responsive partner. Reviewers also note the close working relationships maintained with clients, the mix of creativity and professionalism applied to projects and the steady retainer arrangements that keep communications activity consistent. Survey design and press release preparation stand out as practical strengths.
