At Campus PR, our particular speciality is promoting research in the media. Whether it’s gaining front page coverage, slots on broadcast television or in-depth feature in key industry publications – we can help you, whatever discipline you work in. But it’s not all we do. We also provide content for websites, brochures and magazines; help clients with strategic planning around communications and impact; and we also share our expertise to build in house capacity, through a series of specialised training workshops.
Few small agencies working in higher education can claim three front page national news stories and two stories on prime time BBC broadcast news – but we can. And all achieved without compromising the original research.
We don’t just write PR strategies – though we’re very good at that. We help our clients look at the bigger picture and see how they can get the most from their communication and PR.
We translate complex – and often fascinating – material into engaging copy that lay audiences will want to read, whether it’s for a website, infographic, or a good old-fashioned print publication.
We don’t think academics need to be media relations or communications experts but we do think that bit of specialist knowledge about communicating research and working with the media can help. We’ve developed a series of training workshops to help researchers learn the skills they’ll need, particularly given the demands for greater impact from research. We also run workshops for the press officers who have to do the rest, based on our expertise gained over many years of working in research promotion.
The team are really happy with the new intranet, which is based on the approach and structure you recommended. Such a huge job was made much more manageable thanks to your insight and help.
Thank you for all the work the Campus PR team have done for the World Technology Universities Network. It’s been great to use your skills to improve how we report on our membership and activities.
Working with Campus PR to create the MeDe Innovation Annual Review 2018 was one of the most seamless experiences I have had with an external agency. I would not hesitate to recommend Campus PR to anyone, they are the ultimate combination of professional excellence and approachability.
Some PR agencies demand a lot of time to manage, but that’s just not the case with Campus PR. I know I can pass them a research story and leave them to handle it with total confidence.
Flexible. Professional. Invaluable. Campus PR will always go the extra mile and act as a vital extension of the team. Above all, they are honest and trustworthy. If you want to talk through how and why we’ve worked with them, just drop me a line.
I was absolutely delighted that the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund Tissue Bank featured on the BBC News! This was a complex project to pull together – in particular co-ordinating and liaising between so many partner institutions and individual people. You did this with great patience and diplomacy and gave the Tissue Bank the best start we could have hoped for.
We’d been speaking to Smith & Nephew for a few years about working with us to commercialise the technology and we’d had some excellent publications on the research, but what got the company’s attention was the media coverage which Campus PR helped us achieve. The science on its own couldn’t do it – it was the publicity that clinched the deal.
It has been a pleasure working with you. The combination of informed enthusiasm, efficiency and quick communication has been a rare treat.
Working with Campus PR has been a great experience. We had a huge amount of interest in our project, which raised the department’s profile and helped us with our post-doctoral recruitment.
Campus PR think about my company as a whole, not just the specific job they’ve been assigned. They are very competent and reliable, giving me advice and acting as a sounding board for a range of things outside of our contract.
As a team Campus PR pulled out all the stops on providing support for the funding bids, responding swiftly and flexibly. Their responsive and effective support is what made us so ready to engage them again for similar work.
Campus PR gave some us some extremely useful feedback on our draft document. I am sure that this played a key role in how well our proposal was judged.
This flurry of media interest was beyond my experience and it was great to have an expert voice guiding me and my colleagues. I’m grateful for the efficiency and warmth that you brought to this work.
Campus PR are the first PR company I have dealt with (and I have dealt with a few) who do not try to “dumb down” the story or sensationalise it.
The proactive and incredibly professional way that Campus PR worked to raise the profile and impact of our research has been very impressive.
The Campus PR team is a real pleasure to work with and very efficient. They will take a communications project and manage it from start to finish, always delivering on time. Many of our international research collaborations are focused on complex and innovative areas of research. Campus PR has played an important role in helping us to translate these projects into language that is more accessible to a much wider audience.
Working with Campuspr was a very positive experience. The coverage raised the profile of the project and generated a number of important industry contacts that we are now following up.
Having once worked as a 'popular science editor' I appreciate the skills required to take some complex science and phrase it in such a way that it retains its excitement, interest and factual basis yet is written in a concise and accessible way. Campuspr has those skills in spades.
This wasn't just a success it was a fabulous debut for the conference. Thanks to you all for such a fantastic job.
Thanks again for the features. They are all really great pieces, well-structured with all of them putting in the context needed to bring the stories to life.
My experience of working with Campus PR has always been a complete pleasure. Their ability to create an outstanding product in a short period of time is testament to their responsive and professional approach. The team always finds time to listen and deliver solutions according to our needs and, best of all, they deliver great results.
Thank you so much for your help with the preparation of the submission for the Queen’s Anniversary Prize. Obviously we’re delighted and really proud of the achievement. It was a tough assignment given the time constraints and without your help it would have been even tougher, if not impossible.
We've been really pleased with the work you've done with engineering. It’s been a pleasure working with you all for so long and you've done some fantastic work for us
Having you supporting us at the British Science Festival was a real example of how working with Campus PR is a huge benefit. You know our academics, our vision, our team and you are a wonderful extension of our team. You’ve supported and guided, advised us and helped us achieve some wonderful coverage
Thank you for your help on publicising this work, which continues to go from strength to strength
It’s amazing how the story spread. All good, I’m happy. Many thanks for your help.
I’ve been contacted by a number of companies (which I’d been hoping to hear from) as a consequence of the coverage you achieved. Good work!
Our academics felt that your copywriters did a great job of explaining our research in a format that was accessible for all our audiences. Using Campus PR has really made light work for us, as by working with you to develop a content plan and key messages, I could leave it to you, safe in the knowledge that contact would be made with the relevant people, content would be created and approval would all be complete by our deadlines.
