Interior designer’s coverage windfall with short burst of cost-effect public relations
A LEADING Scottish Interior Designer has scooped headlines in a variety of top publications over the last three months after shouting about its business successes.
Cate Warren Interiors chose wisely when the firm needed a cost-effective, short-term PR project to raise awareness of its work.
By contacting Holyrood PR in Edinburgh, the boutique design firm knew it would be working with Scotland’s reigning Most Outstanding Small Public Relations Agency.
However, what may be even more important to firms looking for cost-effective PR is that we have also won multiple accolades for our budget campaigns – three times in recent years we’ve collected gold and silver PR awards for delivering amazing results to varied clients on a budget, including a renowned restaurant, a prestigious kids golf tournament and a campaign to save Scotland’s national instrument
In the case of Cate Warren Interiors we undertook a burst of PR activity spread across three months – and the results were stellar:
- We delivered more than 14 significant items of coverage in target publications.
- That meant the interior design firm’s messages reached an audience of almost 1.1 million people
- Crucially, by focusing on property and business titles, we ensured exposure to exactly the right audience – home builders, letting agents and landlords.
The success stories were carefully planned and efficiently executed with coverage being achieved in national titles including:
- The Scotsman – Scotland’s oldest quality title, which carried a powerful feature in its respected business section about Cate Warren Interiors’ role in styling exclusive properties in Edinburgh’s sought after and stylish Quartermile sector.
- The Herald – another of Scotland’s most respected titles among business influencers, which also reported on the interior design firm’s Quartermile contract
- The Press and Journal – Scotland’s biggest selling daily quality newspaper- carried a lifestyle feature explaining how the interiors expert helps landlords trying to break into the lucrative student lets market.
- Further coverage in respected online news outlets including Scottish Business News Network, The Daily Business Group and many more.
