“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, marketing director, Northstar Travel

“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.”
