Testimonials

“BIGTOP did such a great job that now I know what the f*ck PR is.”

Alistair Bradshaw, marketing manager, Retail Week Live/Retail Week Awards

“Loving your work…great coverage for our features, especially on Ken Bruce! We lacked this previously - we're really impressed with your results.”

Bas Bungish, brand director, London Classic Car Show

“Another impressive year - well done to Charlie and the team for re-inventing PR on The Business Travel Show each and every year. Thanks for all you hard work.”

David Chapple, group event director, Business Travel Show

“In the past two years, Charlie and her team have helped to strengthen our brand positioning in the UK and Europe and secured amazing coverage in trade and business media across the globe. She is extremely professional, offers amazing advice, is very well connected and really understands events.”

Anna Knight, brand director, Brand Licensing Europe

“A huge thank you – your work makes such a difference to our marketing campaign, you really understand our brand and the new messaging was key to edie’s success.”

Annabel Burrows, brand marketing manager, edie Live

“Since BIGTOP won TTE, our PR budget has paid for itself several times over and every KPI has been smashed. I know the areas they lead on are in safe hands - exhibitor outreach, social, content creation, releases and the onsite press office - which leaves me to get on with my own job!”


Rochelle Jayawardena, group marketing manager, Travel Technology Europe

“We have worked with BIGTOP since the launch of WTS and Charlie and the team have been instrumental in its ongoing success. The press interest they have generated has been amazing and I would thoroughly recommend them.”

John Weir, COO, Wearable Technology Show

“The BIGTOP team is friendly, professional and brilliant! The quality of the work we receive is fantastic and has helped us to strengthen the position of our awards and further illustrate the value businesses get from our products.”

When it comes to the business press and nationals, Sophie has a contact book worth killing for. She works with BIGTOP on the National Business Awards and was just as excited as we were to meet Joanna (PR supremo Patsy) Lumley.
