P.R. & Media relations
Getting to the heart of a story
You can sleep easy knowing You Say Agency understand communications & PR inside out & upside down. That isn't to say we can't still create innovative, eye-catching & commended campaigns. But we don't like to blow our own trumpets, oh ok then if you insist...
We know how to write engaging copy, fit to our client's tone of voice & tailored to the media we target. Be that regional, national, trade or online - think bloggers, facebook & websites.
We work hard building and maintaining contacts so we know where to find your target customer and share with them the messages and stories you want to tell.
Developing Brands
Telling your story through words & pictures
We have had the pleasure of developing brands both in-house & as a consultancy. Emma has a design background & manages to both visualise how a product looks but also develop a narrative that can be used across packaging, websites, literature & more. We can help draft photography briefs, coordinate shoots, manage design pitches, consult stakeholders & discover what makes customers tick.
Whether you are an established brand that is looking to redefine your 'tone of voice' or have a complete brand overhaul or a new company or product starting from scratch the team can help take you on a journey of discovery.
Engagement
Stakeholder engagement
You Say Agency has bags of experience engaging stakeholders (that's the important people to you & your business). We're great at the front of house stuff such as meeting Ministers or speaking at council meetings & the behind the scenes stuff such as identifying who a client's key stakeholders are. We can help you to find out what issues make people tick.
Why not see if we can help you connect with your very own VIPs? We're here to make sure everyone has their say.
Involving a whole community
We've been lucky to be involved in some grass-roots community engagement including an award winning campaign to MPs & Ministers to lobby for smoke-free legislation in England. We also have in-depth experience of working with national retailers & developers to consult members of the public & local communities.
We like making sure all voices are heard & ensuring the little voice gets as much volume as the big one.
COMMUNITY BUILDING
Weaving a story across platforms.
We truly believe that effective & successful community engagement occurs when you cannot see where traditional PR ends & social media starts.
A beautiful and seamless blend of the two is what You Say Agency strives for. Blogs, digital influencer campaigns, video content, building a stock of collateral and images, creating a community across multiple platforms, market research, user generated content, newsletters...
We could go on - but you get the picture.
Creating your own voice
Words excite us. A thread of words crafted into a sentence & honed into a strapline or woven into a set of messaging can really define a brand. We work with businesses to understand where they have come from & where they are going, punctuating copy with a narrative which appeals to their audiences.
“Emma always provides thoughtful and creative stories of direct appeal to readers of Bristol24/7. She can be relied upon to hit deadlines and bridges the gap expertly between her clients and the media without getting in the way.”
“Emma swept in to support our new and time-precious team, to bring to life the progress of our work.
From a standing start, and with a tight deadline, Emma quickly got to work interviewing key personnel to uncover and tell our story. Despite a number of challenges, Emma was able to pivot quickly to fulfil a change in brief and as a client we felt valued and that our work was important. Emma is highly organised, deeply passionate and conscientious.
That, coupled with the fact that she is also an excellent wordsmith, meant that we were able to publish what is the best and most significant report of our work to date.”
