Our Approach

Sleeves rolled up, Hands-on

Too many PR agencies sell their services through experienced senior staff and directors but over-rely on juniors to deliver the campaign. Storm Marketing Communications doesn’t do this… we deliver optimum results for our clients through a personal, hands-on approach.

The Directors of Storm, each with a decade or more of PR and marketing experience, dedicate a high proportion of their time to working directly on a small number of accounts. The outcome is the highest possible standard of personal service and far greater return on your PR investment.

We want to be recognised as a trusted strategic partner; we want to stand firmly alongside your organisation, personally contributing energy, expertise and enthusiasm.

Understanding what you want to say

Once we understand you, your people, culture, values, vision, and then come to know your markets, competitors, customers, and issues, we can plan together the journey to fulfil your communication ambitions.

Understanding your world is vital if we are to deliver results in line with your business objectives and build a focused communications plan.

We can then start down the road to becoming trusted, effective extensions of your own team, confident that we will be promoting and protecting your hard won reputation and interests.

No surprises

Storm’s core values include honesty, integrity and transparency. We don’t know how to work any other way.

We provide excellent account management and record all that we do. We provide minutes of meetings, work-in-progress reports, strategic and tactical planning reports, detailed timesheets and reports of progress and success.

We stick to agreed hourly/daily or retainer rates that are relevant for your business and operate an invoicing system that is clear and simple.

More importantly, we celebrate success and will keep you up to date with the results that we are achieving. This isn’t just about measuring media coverage though; for you it will be manifest in enquiries, sales, reduced complaints, web traffic, invitations and maybe even awards.

And it will also be recognised in the behaviour of your staff… success breeds success and we understand how to help develop your people too.
