Drew Hill, Managing Director, Proper Music Distribution
"Name PR has been integral to building IDOL’s international music business profile. The team quickly got moving on delivering our objectives and have become trusted advisors as we develop our long term positioning. Their ability to communicate IDOL’s core messaging and feed this into ongoing industry conversations, combined with their close media and music business relationships, has been invaluable and consistently delivered top-tier results."

Pascal Bittard, President at IDOL
"We very much valued Name PR's efforts and believe it was a very successful period in which we were able to really increase the awareness and understanding of Believe UK."

Alex Kennedy, Managing Director, Believe UK
"Sam and his team work on a strategic level with the key trade publications and broadsheets to help make sure the Ibiza International Music Summit is seen to shape the agenda for the electronic music sector – with impressive results”

Danny Whittle, Brand Director, Pacha Group & Partner, IMS
"Name represented Twickets for almost two years, helping establish us in the UK and ensuring our crowdfunding bid exceeded expectations, as well as successfully launching the brand in Spain and Australia. The team put together intelligent strategies and moved fast, often at unsocial hours, to leverage unfolding situations to our advantage"

Richard Davies, Founder, Twickets
"Name have demonstrated professional commitment and care in their work for Eventbrite. They were able to get under the skin of every release and became trusted advisors, securing coverage for us across specialist and national titles and placing Eventbrite spokespersons at key industry events”

"Sam’s unique set of skills, network and experience have helped Kobalt tremendously during a critical time of change and expansion for our company. Not only does Sam have the solid connections that we’ve needed to amplify our story across tech, business and music media, but also a rare deep ‘insiders’ knowledge of the music industry"

Willard Ahdritz, Founder & CEO of Kobalt
"It was an absolute pleasure working with Name PR on 51st State in 2017. Katie, Rachael and the team went above and beyond what was required in them, from curating content for the website to handling customer enquiries. Overall, the team planned and delivered a great campaign, which not only resulted in an increase in coverage from previous years, but also boosted the profile of the festival in London, and across the UK”

Michael Hughes, Director, 51st State Festival
“It’s always impressive to see the Name team’s understanding of the independent sector and the work AIM does to support the community, whether they’re supporting our day-to-day, or the more consumer-focussed side of things with our flagship event, the AIM Independent Music Awards. They’re always on hand to make sure anything can be quickly attended to, attentive to client queries, and generally a pleasure to work with.”

Henry Oliver, Communications Coordinator, Association of Independent Music (AIM)
“Sam and team helped put together our roll out for a 40th Anniversary box set in 2019. The team was vital in developing our media strategy and the timing of the physical release in the UK, the coverage on the project and related events was top shelf. They attracted writers and other media people to participate in the multiple events we staged during release week. The Name PR team was helpful and supportive on our project, and I will recommend them for music press and media relations.”

Aaron Talbert, VP Sales & Marketing at VP Records
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Name PR for the past six years. The team are our trusted partners: they understand the issues and trends that the industry faces while playing an integral role in communicating our best of breed technology and services through announcements, conferences and thought leadership pieces. They have helped build the reputation of our brand and team in the industry as we have grown from a handful of staff to over 170 worldwide, opening in new territories and making acquisitions, ensuring these significant moments in our company’s history have resonated widely with the global press.”

Pieter van Rijn, CEO, Downtown Music
“Name PR were integral to our team for the inaugural KPOP.FLEX concert in Frankfurt in May 2022. The social media team were responsible for over 50,000 tickets purchased, with Amy instrumental in developing strategies that stimulated sales – even before the Star act was unveiled. The team also achieved excellent press coverage around the event as well”

Nicola Gross, Group Director, Live Company Group (KPOP.FLEX Organiser)
