What we deliver
Comms strategy
It is essential that we precisely measure the financial impact of our campaign to ensure a strong return on investment (ROI) for our clients that matches their business objectives. Short-term financial gains may give your business a boost, but our strategy is to ensure more long-lasting growth through targeted exposure to your key audiences while increasing your brand credibility. Using traditional and digital methods, our multi-channel approach will open doors to increased sales and leads.
Media relations
We all know that a trusted relationship with the press is worth its weight in gold - which is why our team is proud of its strength in media relations. Our avid writers and ex-journalists understand what the media wants and exactly how your content needs to be written to ensure it appears in titles relevant to your field.
Event management
As a team of fastidious organisers and social butterflies, the pressure of helping to successfully execute an event is something we thrive on. With our feet firming under the table in the world of restaurant and bar launches, county shows and corporate round tables, it's fair to say we've done it all. Whether you need a full-service event delivery, support with a VIP guest list, or an on-site press office, our team will plan the event bespoke to your needs.
Content creation
We're well-versed in putting together compelling press releases, inspiring thought leadership articles, technical opinion pieces and topical comments to position your team as industry experts in target publications.
Crisis comms
Handling a potential crisis is our specialty. We help ensure that negative press doesn't have a detrimental impact on your brand. We offer crisis simulations and media training workshops to give you the skills to be 'interview ready.' We also deliver crisis strategy planning so you can learn to expect the unexpected and adopt the best approach to manage your response internally and externally.
Award submissions
We develop thought-provoking and inspiring awards submissions to build recognition among your peers and credibility with your customers.

“I was thoroughly pleased with the support received from Cartwright before, during and after the event – which was an important part of the event’s success. The host from Cartwright expertly facilitated interesting discussion and ensured that everyone was included. From the notes provided straight after the event, to the follow up content including a press release and new thought leadership ideas, the plan was executed and the results aligned with our aims.”
