    The knowledge of the BlueSky PR team is second to none. Their experience in the recruitment and outsourcing remits means they’re able to produce high quality content that resonates with our audiences and showcases our thought leadership expertise. They can turn their hand to any copywriting we need, whether that’s whitepaper research reports or press comments. The team integrates themselves into our business and I’m confident in their ability to get our message across in the best way possible, without needing significant input from us.

    BlueSky PR has been a strategic communications partner for APSCo since 2012 and has supported us in a range of comms activity, from social media management and external PR, to a variety of content production, including internal messages and external stakeholder engagement. The team is proactive, ensuring our voice is being heard in the staffing sector and supports APSCo’s government lobbying activity.

  • Sterling

    Sterling

    The BlueSky PR team became a real partner for Sterling EMEA as soon as we engaged them for media relations support. Not only were they able to secure us fantastic coverage in leading publications, but they also produced brilliant content on our behalf. They were able to take the knowledge and information from the team and turn it into engaging copy that really raised our profile as a thought leader in background screening. Having a partner that proactively suggested new ideas and flagged news for us to comment on really helped grow Sterling’s profile. I would highly recommend them.

  • Harnham

    Harnham

    I recently attended BlueSky’s PR workshop and couldn’t recommend it enough. Tracey is a genuine expert and leader in her field and is happy to share that expertise taking you through all elements of the PR journey. From PR’s role in driving awareness and brand value, through to the creation of press releases, distribution, networking with relevant journalists and publications, crisis management and the all-important strategy and ROI, no stone is left unturned.

    What I found especially useful was the relevance to recruitment and our business. Much of the content was tailored to Harnham with practical examples that we could immediately implement and gain quick results alongside more longer term goals. 5 stars!

    Rob Quirk, Head of Marketing

  • ALC Executive

    ALC Executive

    Tracey is quite simply one of the most impressive individuals I’ve met in the communications and recruitment industries over the last 20 years.

    Despite having an incredible wealth of knowledge and being so well connected, she is incredibly unassuming, modest and down to earth in her approach which makes working with her always a pleasure. She is incredibly generous, constantly giving tonnes of additional value above and beyond the normal boundaries of supplier and client relationship.

    Tracey’s a joy to work with. She’s artfully consultative in a way that engages and elicits the best out of any dialogue, providing clarity of approach in a strategic and consultative manner but one which never loses sight of creating clear and attainable commercial objectives.

    She is that rare gem: a creative and commercial force who gets it and has that focus to help us get it too.

    One Way

    Being featured on one of the busiest news segments in UK TV is obviously great news for us and allows our skills and expertise to reach a potentially enormous audience. We were hugely impressed at the speed with which it came together. We were contacted on a Sunday night and were interviewed on the Monday afternoon which involved having a full camera and recording team come to Southampton from London to film the segment. Without BlueSky this wouldn’t have happened and we’re very grateful for their help.

    Paul Payne, Managing Director and Co-Founder

    BlueSky PR managed to unlock the knowledge that we had inside the business and share it with a national audience of key stakeholders.

  • VMA Group

    VMA Group

    We knew that the unique data we generated would be of interest to the communications industry, but the challenge for us was how to develop a media partnership that would get the VMA brand name and the report in front of our key senior-comms audience. Not only were BlueSky PR able to secure an exclusive agreement with one of our top targets, but they did so without the need for any advertorial costs.

BlueSky has secured us great coverage in a range of media and on various platforms and channels for all of our UK brands.  They can work on an almost entirely self-sufficient basis and are very good at being proactive and spotting PR opportunities when they arise.
