What our Clients say…

“We recently worked with MGMPR Ltd on an e-commerce website. Eleanor and the team have a very good understanding of Search Engine Optimisation and delivered a high standard of web copy on a very tight deadline.”

Gary Topping – ITS New Media

“MGMPR Ltd has been employed by Markethill High School since September 1, 2012. The brief involves enhancing and developing publicity about the school for local media and ensuring the successes of the school are made known to new audiences, through both ‘traditional’ media and new social media opportunities. In all our dealings with the company, they have acted with clarity, diligence, sensitivity and initiative. Nothing has been too much trouble. I highly recommend MGMPR.”

 

James Maxwell – Principal of Markethill High School

“Niddocks use MGMPR Ltd because of the team’s ability to spot a story, make that narrative relevant to a brand, and deliver to stringent deadlines. The team have certainly done that for us to date which resulted in lots of media coverage and we secured new clients as a result of the coverage. Eleanor and her team are media law trained professionals. We totally trust our reputation in their hands. We will certainly be using MGMPR Ltd again.”

Andrea and Rob Edlin – Niddocks

“MGMPR Ltd is currently managing our media campaign for the Celtic 7 Marathon Challenge involving myself, owner of Worldwide Financial Planning and Stephane Delourme, Head Chef of the Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant. We needed multi-media PR support from MGMPR Ltd to tell the story of our challenge. The challenge has gained coverage in newspapers, radio, magazines and on digital platforms. The fact that the team are journalists and editors means their storytelling skills are spot on and they use their contacts, locally, regionally and nationally to get coverage.”

Peter McGahan – Celtic 7 Marathon Challenge

MGMPR’s out of the box thinking and timescale for execution is first class. MGMPR is not your typical PR agency – they are a team of media law trained business professionals who get your voice heard in all forms of media.

MGMPR Ltd was appointed to do the PR for the Tour of Ulster 2015 cycling race which took place over the May Bank Holiday Weekend.

The event attracted almost 150 elite cyclists from across the globe. In spite of the heavy rain and strong winds calling off the race on the second day – the event was a huge success and gained fantastic coverage in advance of the race, during the event and after the event.

Due to the adverse weather conditions, our team were totally on top of the story all weekend for our colleagues in the media so journalists could report the most up-to-date and relevant information. As soon as anything happened – journalists knew about it!

Denise Watson, a sports journalist for UTV, U105 and the News Letter, very kindly shared these kind words with us.

“My first contact with Eleanor McGillie was for the Tour of Ulster cycle race in 2015. She took over the PR of the event this year and it was very useful as a Sports Journalist to have someone to call and email regarding times and stage results.

“In the past, for TV and radio bulletins, I was scrambling around websites and social media hoping that the information was correct as it’s vital that my scripts are accurate. From the start of this year’s event, I had Eleanor and her team to call upon when I had a question.

“She was courteous and nothing was too much trouble. But the most impressive element for me was how she understood my job as a journalist. I have encountered PR companies who are driven by their agenda. Eleanor patiently asked me what my needs were and understood how vital it was for me to get up to date and accurate information.

“I believe it’s because she is a trained and experienced journalist herself. I look forward to working with her on future events.”  Denise Watson, UTV /U105/News Letter Sports Journalist.
