That’s where our Scottish public relations agency, Holyrood PR in Edinburgh can help. We are honours graduates when it comes to sharing client success stories with huge audiences.

Earning top marks in the media

Recently our client, Blackwood achieved back to back five star reviews for five of its care and housing developments. Each development was Blackwood, client at award winning PR agency Holyrood PRhighly commended by the Care Inspectorate for the care and support provided to residents.

We helped Blackwood to celebrate those top tier grades as widely as possible – getting the organisation’s name in front of families who are using or choosing care and housing services, as well as influencers who commission care services.

To deliver a first class PR results we started by drafting bespoke media releases tailored for each of the five developments. Those were then carefully targeted at interested journalists working with the local media serving each area where each of the five developments were located.

That strategy proved to be a grade A success – resulting in positive media coverage in the Glasgow Evening Times, Edinburgh Evening News, Stirling Observer, Dundee’s Evening Telegraph and the Ayrshire Post.

However, we went further and also made sure to target specialist care media, in order to let everyone know how well Blackwood “made the grade” with the recognised care regulator.

Key care coverage was secured in influential titles including  Care Industry News, The Carer, Disabled and Supportive Carer, Sy Care Support and Care and Nursing Essentials.
