“ShrewdPR has been working with us since 2019. They have helped us to grow our followers on social media and developed relationships with influencers that have helped to grow our business. In addition to providing PR support they also manage all our digital marketing and, with their expertise, we have seen steady growth in our online sales. With the advent of COVID-19 their support has been even more important, not only have they helped us to communicate our key messages to our customers but they have helped us to maintain a relationship with them. If you need PR and Marketing support then we would highly recommend Shrewd .”

“ShrewdPR recently ran a social media workshop for our team. Prior to the session our approach was somewhat disparate with the majority of the effort being on one person’s shoulders. The presentation was excellent and has helped us re-boot our efforts across all platforms, which in the light of COVID-19 crisis is even more important. We now have a schedule in place to maintain an on-going program to use social media to the full extent. Eleanor also made it clear that the whole team had a role in helping our marketing manager create the content we put out on our channels. We have no hesitation in recommending ShrewdPR.”

"The Europlanet Society promotes the advancement of European planetary science and is open to individual and organisational members. The Society was founded in 2018 and has grown out of a range of initiatives dating back nearly 20 years, including European-funded projects and an international annual scientific congress.
In 2019, the Europlanet Society sought assistance from Shrewd PR to develop a communications strategy that could maximise the effectiveness of the Society’s limited resources and bring coherence to all the initiatives under the Europlanet brand. Eleanor’s professionalism and support were invaluable in engaging the many different groups involved, identifying priorities and where best the Europlanet Society could support communications needs. Bringing existing projects into a new structure was a complex challenge. Eleanor was diligent and comprehensive in getting to grips with the multiple project strands and in helping us decide where to focus resources and build a solid foundation for communications going forward. We are very grateful for her help!" Nigel Mason - President Europlanet Society |
"Working with Eleanor at Shrewd PR over the last 18 months has allowed me to increase my exposure by email, LinkedIn and Facebook. I now post regularly on all 3 platforms, previously I was more than a little irregular. My website is now being regularly updated and I have also outsourced my twice monthly blog posts to them. Shrewd PR has been proactive in securing client testimonials for me that are then added to my website. All in all I feel my business is better represented than it was.
To work with, Eleanor is structured, organised and logical and regularly throws in good ideas. She has made great efforts to learn not just about my business, also about me as a person, so that I can be reflected in my posts. Is tricky sometimes as I can be a reluctant spotlight person. Although I outsource to Eleanor it feels like she is a member of my team and very motivational." Kathy Bassett Business Coach ActionCOACH |
"We have had the pleasure of working with Shrewd PR for four years. Eleanor has always been extremely friendly and professional on her approach to all sides of our business. She has been instrumental in guiding us through GDPR requirements and has been a huge help on all platforms of our Social Media… nothing is ever too much trouble. Shrewd PR have always planned well ahead and quick to respond to any queries. We cannot recommend them highly enough."

"Some months ago, I asked Eleanor Lester from Shrewd PR to take on my social media work. I’ve been delighted with every aspect of her approach. Eleanor began by finding out about my business, specifically about my goals for social media. She then developed a strategy of consistently posting articles across LinkedIn and Facebook. Since starting the project, we’ve seen increases in ‘follows’ and all-round engagement. So – I’m delighted to recommend Eleanor for her all-round approach, her diligence and her social media know-how. Thank you Eleanor. " Stephen Church - Copywriter Pro

"ShrewdPR worked with us to carry out a six month social media campaign to help support our launch in three Parkson stores in Malaysia and Borneo. The campaigns helped to increase awareness of the Borneo Soap brand and encouraged customers to visit us and learn more. They came up with creative ways of helping to ensure our brand messages came across and have been a great support to us during this time. We would highly recommend them."

"We have worked closely with Shrewd PR for over ten years which by itself should say how we highly respect their work and input. Eleanor Lester is certainly thorough and never misses a deadline. She really is part of the colour me beautiful management team and as such has been instrumental in developing our PR and marketing strategies and adopting social media as part of our marketing mix. Over the years our stories have appeared – repeatedly - in most major daily UK newspapers; whilst she has also built a great link with the PA and regional newspapers and magazines. Eleanor’s creativity is demonstrated in the many links to third parties she has developed for us."

"I've been working with Shrewd PR for quite a number of years now. As a PR company they have always been polite and helpful with their requests, providing me with all that I needed in order to best serve them and the needs of their clients. Their staff have always been easy to work with and very forthcoming in affording me all the materials needed in order to make my job easier, be it additional information about the products we are working with, extra photography, etc. I would highly recommend them to any company or individual wanting to promote their goods and or services. They are sure to get the job done in a very proficient, timely and professional manner, but with that little bit of extra care which makes the difference between simply doing a job or doing a job well. They do go the extra mile."

"I have worked with the team at Shrewd PR for many years. As a journalist, I deal with countless PR companies, but not only are Shrewd PR friendly and professional, but also they turn out concise press releases and have a real flair for ‘getting’ what is relevant to our readership. Providing us with accurate information, in short they’re a breath of fresh air in a world where too often journalists feel that PR companies are wasting their time."
