"Helly Hansen appointed ADPR to raise visibility of the brand, the products and their assets with the specialist press. As a diverse brand, operating in very different markets, Helly Hansen faces many challenges. We expect our PR agency to develop strategies to combat these challenges and to align the brand in these very different markets.
As a small marketing team we rely heavily on the partners that we work with. ADPR's approach to PR is completely integrated with the rest of the communications mix and allows the two businesses to operate seamlessly. They provide us with a high quality and very reliable service which exceeds our expectations.
The people that you work with are also important. The staff are incredibly friendly and are great fun."
Emma Russell
Marketing Manager at Helly Hansen
“ADPR was the Charity's PR and marketing company from November 1997 to November 2006. From November 1997, Brainwave has grown into an international charity supporting children with special needs from throughout the UK, Ireland, Japan and elsewhere in the world.
ADPR has made a significant contribution to these developments, by generating extensive media exposure in womens' magazines, the professional press and national papers. Opportunities to tell our story on local and national radio have also been provided through ADPR's professional contacts and their sheer enthusiasm for our cause.
Individual members of the Company [ADPR] have supported Brainwave's fundraising events and have been flexible and generous in meeting demands as special opportunities have arisen for the Charity.”
We would have no hesitation in recommending ADPR to you for their width of press contacts, adaptability and professionalism “
David Davies
Chief Executive Officer, Brainwave
We appointed ADPR in July of this year (2007) to provide PR and media relations services to the Waterlinks project. They have taken the Waterlinks project from a position of almost zero news coverage with at best neutral media support, to the current situation where we have regular local and regional coverage and strong media support. They are flexible, pragmatic and creative, with good links with local media (national as yet untested as a result of the constraints of our particular campaign) and celebrity supporters. I find them extremely easy to work with and have no hesitation in recommending ADPR to others.

Press:
“It was really good to work with an efficient and friendly PR agency that has a full understanding of the tourism sector and produces quality information to tight deadlines.”
Liz Bird, The Observer
“In my 30 years, I have worked with a number of agencies but I can honestly say that there are very few who match ADPR’s news and feature sense; have a full understanding of the publicity market place and perhaps more importantly for us in the media, have the ability to produce quality work to tight deadlines.
I would have no hesitation in recommending your agency skills to any client. Please feel free to let them contact me if they wish.”
John Collings, Assistant Editor, Sunday Independent
"I transferred across to the commercial side in 1990, and took on the responsibility for a small stable of commercial marine publications, which included Safety at Sea International, a couple of years later. I certainly found ADPR was always ready to assist us, always working to promote the clients to our sector of the business, and ADPR was always present at the important commercial marine events relevant to maritime safety.
We deal with many PR companies, which prove to have highly variable knowledge of their clients' markets and the publications dealing with those markets, and I have always found ADPR to be well focused, whichever market sector it is working with.
There are not many agencies that seem equally at home in the recreational and commercial markets, and the important non-SOLAS commercial sector in between, that I currently work in. ADPR is definitely one of those."
Bill Thomson
Editor, Ship & Boat International
"I am delighted to confirm that ADPR is well established in the marine industry with a number of leading and high profile clients,
You and your team always show a good understanding of, and a genuine interest in, your clients' products and services, which are promoted with enthusiasm, whether through press releases or, which is particularly appreciated by me, by picking up the phone and talking to our journalists.
ADPR have a better-than-most grasp of the needs of magazine editorial content and, because it consistently provides Sailing Today with timely and appropriate information, it is regularly used for both news items and features."

You're probably the most helpful person I'm in contact with- some people wouldn't even reply unless they had the product.
Thank YOU for being helpful!!
