Heike Stahlenbrecher, E-Communication Advisor, Public Affairs Europe, ExxonMobil "It's been a real pleasure to work with Leads United. I very much appreciated their high professionalism, easy-goingness and their fast response. And, yes, Leads United has made a major difference in Zattoo's recognition in the Belgian market and in our user figures there. Helen Schoch, Communications Manager, Zattoo Europe
Michel Montignac
Marie Pinon, Press Relations Europe, ViewSonic
Leads United was recommended to me and from the first contact we had, they proved to be the right choice. Leads United is a PR agency with an innovative approach. Their team has become an essential part of the communication department for our company. Their proactive approach and marketing attitude, and in-depth understanding of the issues we face has ensured optimum lead generation and maximum return on investment. We noticed that they have a unique position of trust with the press, and that they understand the market. “ Erwin Veenhuyzen, Marketing Manager Benelux & Nordics
"Leads United is a team of specialists who are good at their job and easy to reach when you need them. They are great go-betweens and past-masters at establishing contact quickly between journalists and companies, which is vital for a daily newspaper like La Libre Belgique, where we are constantly up against the stress of deadlines." “Leads United has a great sense for our working environment. We are happy to gather relevant information in our jobs, but at key moments, we need immediate action and feedback. Leads United is one of the PR agencies I have had the pleasure of watching for several years now. They provide accurate and relevant – i.e. usable - information that offers an added value for both me personally and the publication. And those are qualities you can’t do without on a magazine.” “Over the eight years I have been a journalist, I have come across the representatives of many PR companies. In general, they serve nothing but the interests of their client, never hesitating sometimes to put embarrassing pressure on journalists who are not only trying to do their job independently, but also with a desire for freedom of choice and action. So you can imagine my surprise when I was contacted by the people from Leads United. Acting as the perfect link between their clients – looking to get publicity for as many products as possible – and journalists, the eventual mouthpieces for this same publicity, contacts with Leads United have always been conducted with mutual respect and the fulfilment of objectives on both sides. As a result of their in-depth knowledge of the needs and aims of everyone concerned, communication with them is usually straightforward and takes place in a climate of unfailing mutual trust. Without being hassled, I receive regular information about business-related news, “managed” from a communication point of view by Leads United. And I know that if I want information or products to test, I can get them quickly when I ask. That’s two big benefits that enable me to do my job under the best possible conditions.” "Does Leads United really refer to the glorious football team in West-Yorkshire, England? Who knows? An urban legend that links to this, is a famous hotel booking. Meant for Leads United, but registered for Leeds United - mind the e! I can imagine the faces of the hotel servants when they saw the Leads United ladies arriving in stead of eleven rough guys."Surprise !" This is exactly what a journalist enjoys more often when he co-operates with Leads United. If things need to go quickly, we are being served quickly. But if there's time and space, we are always reminded of their baseline: 'Communication with an edge'." “Dynamic, professional and responsive. Since I began working in the area of new technologies, the team at Leads United has always shown itself to be up to the job. Very often, a simple e-mail is all that is required to resolve my minor concerns about visuals or press releases. Even when I have to change the topic of my column at the last minute. Long live Leads United!” "My first thought was that it was the legendary English football club calling me… but I hardly think about it now. Well... when I say "hardly", I may be exaggerating a little! One thing’s for sure, though - I’ve never had any problems remembering the name of the agency. It’s also an agency we have never had any problems with. Quite the contrary, in fact!" “Being a journalist means you want the right information at the right time, in a worst case scenario only one phone call or e-mail away. So ... that's not an easy job for a PR-agency. Leads United however succeeds in that job and even more. Not only do they provide the information you want, they do it in a very professional and intimate way - just like friends lend each other a DVD or a neighbour asks another one for sugar. I can say, in the years I worked with Leads United, I never felt like being 'cheated on' and that's nice, especially in this business that's called ... media.” "Leads United did not base their name on that of a popular football team without good reason. For Data Testlab, it is vital to know that we are working with a PR agency with a good overview of the field, the right players waiting on the bench ready to jump into the game, and a close eye on the ball. The Leads United team clearly has excellent training and they play together superbly. They prove it time after time with the goals they score for their clients." “I have never had the slightest problem working with Leads United. They always deal with my enquiries quickly and efficiently. When I have a project under way, Leads United often plays a proactive role by suggesting companies among its clientele that could be ideal case histories to present in my analyses. They offer a refreshingly different approach in a world where so many players are constantly in competition.” "PR agencies are always walking a very thin line. If they sit by and wait until a journalist calls for information, they may be perceived as lacking in dynamics. But if they approach the journalist and spontaneously offer a news item or suggest an interview, they might get labelled as "pushy". Leads United does ever cross that danger line, they know exactly what sort of information which journalist needs at what moment in time, and how he likes to be approached. Professionalism" is probably the word that best describes their "modus operandi", and that speaks for itself. Add to this that it is a very cheerful bunch, always ready to up the spirits, and you get a team that's a pleasure to work with. Just keep up the good work, guys - eh, girls !" "What can I say about Leads? You have been a rock-solid ally for many years and we have worked well together throughout all of that time. The result has been articles that would never have been so good without you, as well as countless enjoyable evenings together. In actual fact, the term ‘PR agency’ sells Leads a little short: you manage to do so much more than just press relations. But having said that, you are so skilled at maintaining a good relationship with the media that I’ll go on calling you a PR agency even if you’re not keen on it. So congratulations on everything you have achieved so far. I am sure that we still have some great things to go through together!" |
