Edinburgh Public relations agency PR for Skene Hotell new project After successfully meeting the stringent requirements and standards in place, Skene Hotels turned to Holyrood PR agency in Edinburgh. What they wanted was some intensive public relations therapy to raise the profile of its venues in local, national, specialist and international markets.

The results were stunning. Our three-month PR campaign boosted website traffic by 27%, while Skene’s booking engine revenue increase by 40%. And as the icing on the cake, the hotel group enjoyed seven out of 10 Google first page rankings for target search terms.

Need more proof of the benefits of a short and sharp PR campaign? Look no further than the award-winning project we delivered to renowned Indian restaurant, Khushi’s, in Edinburgh.

We devised a ‘Back to 1947’ event for the occasion, which saw the restaurant chefs produce dishes that appeared on the menu when the restaurant first opened – then we used that to help drive a successful media campaign.

The immediate results were impressive. Website visits rose 40%, customer numbers increased by 50% and the number of diners visiting from outwith Edinburgh (one of the most crucial objectives) went up by 30%.

This short campaign was not just a success for Khushi’s, it earned the team at Holyrood PR the Gold award at the 2014 CIPREdinburgh PR Agency's project work for Edinburgh restaurant Khushis Pride Awards.

How could your business benefit from working with our award-winning PR agency in Edinburgh?

While short or one-off PR projects can deliver amazing results, we are in no doubt that our clients see the best returns on investment when they commit to public relations for the long term.

So be sure to read the other post in this series which explains the benefits of sustained work with a PR agency, which lasts over years, rather than a few short weeks or months. You should also be aware that short term projects are more demanding and time-consuming for our expert PR team – therefore we charge a premium rate for project services.
