What they say about us

"Access PR understands how the media works because the principals are former practitioners. They have great contacts and most important, the sort of respect that’s hard earned."
Phil Scott. Publishing Director, Men’s, Specialist & Custom Titles, ACP Magazines

"The value of a savvy and well-versed PR agency cannot be underestimated for businesses in these transient and unpredictable times.I am thrilled to have such a close working relationship with Access PR and hold them in the same high regard as our discerning peers within the Australian media industry in general. Andrea, Rochelle and the Access PR team are the quintessential experts when it comes to media liaison and strategic counsel and can be trusted to wholeheartedly work with your business to ensure the most successful outcomes possible."
Kylie Speer. Head of Communications, ninemsn

“Pizza Hut engaged Access PR to become our thought leaders on the public relations required to launch 'Tuscani Pasta' and make an impact on the consumer and business press. Access PR’s ability to grasp the creative and strategic challenge was exceptional. Access PR were able to deliver to their brief on many levels and did this in many ways: engaging internal stakeholders in the process; conducting research to understand consumer angles; producing high quality materials and releases; using years of experience and understanding of the press to ensure we maximised each opportunity; good engagement with the rest of the cross functional team; and finally in creating a hugely successful launch event for ‘Tuscani Pasta’ (replicating our launch TVC) with proactive follow up across all media channels. Both globally and locally, the launch of ‘Tuscani Pasta’ has been hailed as a massive success, and Access PR have been an important part of this for us. Their role was invaluable within the wider team, and I have no hesitation in recommending them.”
Angela Richards. Marketing Director, Pizza Hut

"When launching the Snuggie in Australia, we turned to Access PR to help build the awareness of the product quickly. Access PR put together an initial launch plan and subsequent follow up plans which resulted in an amazing uptake in all forms of media and in the end it seemed everyone wanted a piece of the action, including A Current Affair! The Snuggie phenomenon just ‘grew legs' and kept on running as it became a household name and something of a cult product in an extraordinarily short space of time. There's no doubt that the carefully thought out PR plan and subsequent management of inquiries not only exceeded our expectations but contributed significantly to the huge success of a fairly simple concept that is the Snuggie."
Greg Thomas. Product Director, Global Shop Direct

“Before we engaged Access PR, our approach was to public relations was erratic at best. We now have a much better idea of how key constituents perceive us, a plan for all major activity and a resource to execute our plans professionally and painlessly. Not surprisingly, we are starting to see some far more balanced and positive coverage as a result."
Tony Hale. CEO, The Newspaper Works.

“They’re a really great team to work with, they make our lives easy – they’ve worked with us through a couple of crises, they’ve worked with us through more warm and fuzzy PR, and in every instance, they’ve been highly professional, very skilled but also really great fun to work with. We really feel they’re a partner to Starlight, we really trust them and we know we can rely on them.”
Anne Johnston. Head of Partnerships, Starlight Children's Foundation

“Access PR has a very solid understanding of our industry and what’s important in the sector and who the key journalists are and what their motivations are – and therefore really know how to tailor a story to be of particular interest to particular journalists, and that’s a very powerful combination.”
John Sintras. CEO, Starcom MediaVest Group

“Since Bell Direct launched late last year, Access PR have shown they care as much about our business as we do and have ensured we consistently punch above our weight in positive PR exposure.”
Arnie Selvarajah. CEO, Bell Direct.

“I’ve had a bit to do with PR companies, in fact, I’ve been part owner of several of them over the years – I find it’s very easy to get into a formula and Access PR don’t seem to get into a formula, and that’s good. That’s what I like about Access PR – they make the phone ring.”
John Fawcett. Chairman, HeadStrong.

“Access PR are a very professional group to deal with. I haven’t hired any PR agencies before – I’m one of those people who likes to think they can do everything for themselves - but what I like about Access PR is they tell me when I have a really half-arsed idea. And that really amounts to ploughing the field narrow and deep. They concentrate on pushing the good story, which I think is smart and I think it’s a bit different from other PR people saying ‘yes’ all the time.”
Peter Miller. Managing Director, adstream

“They are responsive and we totally trust that when we give them something to do, they’ll do it. Fast.”
Amanda Dunne. National Marketing Manager, News Community Media

“We have been working with the team at Access PR since February 2007 . In that time we have found that the level of professionalism applied to our business and the external communication of that understanding absolutely market leading. The media access and advice of the senior directors is second to none in the communication industry. They have certainly raised – and maintained – our profile in both Australia and the South East Asian region.”
Robbie Hills. CEO, Group M Search Asia Pacific

“Access PR has the inside running of everyone who writes about media and marketing in the country. They’ve either been there as marketing journos or dealt with the key media for many years. Either way, they have an offering that no other PR agency can match.”
Brian Gallagher. CEO, Full Circle Media

“We found Access PR to be professional and helpful in all our dealings with them. No matter how small the project, the staff were always very accommodating and enthusiastic and timely in their responses.”
Louise Lipman. Director, Waterplex
