Parker PR

Enable-Solihull is a disability organisation, working with service users, service providers and statutory bodies in Solihull. Part of our work is to support providers of social care services to prepare for Personalisation; this includes providing a series of workshops focusing on various aspects of Personalisation. Organisations had requested guidance on how to best market themselves in the new climate of Personalisation.

After seeing Graham Parker deliver a short seminar on this topic at the In-Control Big Event, Enable-Solihull invited Graham to deliver a half-day workshop to our partners. This workshop received excellent feedback from delegates and there were comments about how inspiring and informative the morning had been. It certainly met the expectations of Enable-Solihull in supporting our partners to adapt their marketing strategies.

Graham has worked with many charity and third sector organisations and thoroughly understands the needs of the sector, as well as the threats. He offered lots of realistic, practical advice about changes organisations could make. I would recommend this workshop to any other organisation that will be affected by the changes that the Personalisation Agenda is bringing, particularly organisations from the third sector.

What can I say about the man.... after all he's the 'wordsmith'... and a very good one to. Working with Graham is a pleasure as he is one PR person who knows the business of looking after his clients needs.. he not only sells a service, he gives a solution. A great guy to be around, he gives nothing but 100 %. All the clients we have worked with have massive respect for his work. Best regards to him and all of his clients old and new

Graham has helped raise the profile of North Star Signs on many occasions. Graham is a true professional who really has the ability to get your important message out there. I would highly recommend Parker PR if you have a passion to grow your company."
Gary Chester, MD, North Star Signs, 2010

I have known and worked alongside Graham Parker for many years, and have seen many of his marketing projects being delivered in a large cross selection of businesses through out the North East of England. Graham's personal drive and ambition comes through in all of his work which is of the highest professional standard. I would thoroughly recommend anyone to use Parker PR as a first rate PR and Marketing company.

We needed someone to help us develop an imaginative focus for an important project. Parker PR quickly tuned in to our needs, developed an action plan and delivered on time. We really appreciated the way they handled some sensitive issues and the resulting DVD has been used extensively to promote our work. As a busy manager I needed to be able to trust someone to work without close scrutiny and Graham Parker was able to do that whilst keeping me in the picture at key moments.

Through your PR activity the business community in our area has experienced a significant positive increase in profile. In particular the increase in media coverage has been excellent. You have helped deliver a successful project which has gained local, regional and national recognition and contributed to the regeneration of the area. What's more, we were presented with a PR award for your work from the Chartered Institute of Public Relations for the project - thank you so much for your work.
John Barber, Partnership & Regeneration Manager, Business in the Community, 2009

I feel that the whole campaign has been a great success and that it has more than fulfilled our expectations. You clearly grasped what was required from this campaign, namely to raise our profile in the region and to generate a positive media image for the company in order to foster goodwill towards us from the community. The campaign did exactly this in a cost-effective way and with minimal disruption. I was very impressed with your enthusiasm and ability to make things happen. I have received many comments from people who have clearly noticed the publicity generated. This appears to have had an impact far greater than I anticipated.
Robert Hill, Director, Imperial Laundry, 2008

I want to thank you for solving the biggest problem I have come across in six years of business: how to get content from clients for our websites. I recently used your services on a client's website which I've been waiting to complete for over 12 months. The client consistently failed to provide the content I needed. You met with the client, interviewed him and provided me with superbly written copy. You then produced a second batch and then a third, this time within 60 minutes of me asking for a revision.

I am genuinely more than impressed with your services and I will continue to recommend you to my clients, suppliers and colleagues.
Paul Campbell, Managing Director, Effective Internet, 2008

I write to thank you for your recent assistance in regard to rewording  of my website. Although it is common tom outsource the design, the wording is usually left up to the owner of the business. A person who knows exactly what the want the site to say, but absolutely no idea how to phrase what they are thinking. This was no different for myself. After trying I ended up with 2000 words that meant little I handed it over to you.
What you created from my brief is an easy to read, sales orientated website. You have crafted it so that it is both descriptive and technical whilst being succinct and interesting. The words seem to flow when you read them, which will keep people interested. I thank you again for your help and would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in a similar situation in future.

When we opened our new conference and hospitality centre we needed a marketing campaign that included a launch event, VIP management, promotional material production, media relations and continuing strategic advice - Parker PR provided everything we could have asked for and more. We have worked with them for over a year now and are highly satisfied in the way they support our business with first-class services.

We operate in a highly competitive market and I am highly delighted with the way the PR campaign that Parker PR put together for us has enhanced our brand image, raised our profile with customers and strengthened our brand loyalty.

Parker PR conducted a first-class media campaign for me and achieved everything I had hoped for in terms of media coverage and the positive message it gave to the critical publics I wanted to influence.
David Moody, High Sheriff  & Lord Lieutenant of South Yorkshire, 2004

We worked with Parker PR for several months on a specific aspect of our marketing in a very difficult marketplace. The value we gained in terms of an alternative perspective and ideas on reaching new markets was substantial. The additional media coverage they generated boosted our normal PR activity with coverage in trade and specialist magazines.
