EDINBURGH-based PHPR Ltd received a welcome Christmas boost with the news they have won the on-and-offline PR contract for leading Edinburgh-based Pay-per-Click specialists, Attacat.
Attacat MD, Tim Barlow said: “We chose PHPR after a three-way pitch because MD, Penny Haywood Calder, impressed us with her online PR skills which are a perfect complement to our business. She understands that PR is more than just sending out press releases.”
PHPR MD, Penny Haywood Calder, said: “Having launched the world’s first online bank in 1985 when I was at Bank of Scotland, I’ve always been drawn to technology in business. My degree in logic and metaphysics helps me tease out the benefits and get the message across clearly to the end-user. Today, with the proliferation of marketing and PR opportunities online, there has never been a better time to get into e-commerce or boost an existing online offering.
“But the Attacat team results are quite amazing. They are currently boosting the sales from existing Search Engine Advertising campaigns by an average of 96 per cent. What organisation wouldn’t mind nearly doubling their sales in this economic climate?
“Attacat tend to work with high growth small businesses and medium to larger organisations and I think it’s the combination of depth of knowledge, staff development and transparent dealing that provides top-level results at affordable rates. There are certainly no grand reception areas to pay for when you engage with Attacat: just down-to-earth results, which is why they have a 93 per cent client retention rate.
“They have great depth as Tim was the one of the first 100 Google-qualified advertising professionals in the world. He has built an excellent team over five years, employing some of the UK’s brightest and most entrepreneurial graduates through Graduates For Growth.
“If ever there was a time when businesses needed a boost, Attacat are a ready-made solution. I’m going to really enjoy working with them.”
