Chris Crook

Founder and Managing Partner, Nature

“The entire team at SKMG have done a wonderful of job of getting to know our business and how we roll. They’ve been adaptable and flexible and sought first to understand our needs and priorities, then mould themselves around these objectives rather than expecting us to fit into their way of working, structure or world. The sign of a great client-centric business and set of people. On top of that, they’ve massively exceeded our expectations when it comes to delivering on our communications needs. These guys are the real deal and on top of that, great to work with.”

Neil and Andrew covered a lot of ground for us and worked in tandem with our content, publicity and corporate communications teams. Their experience in communications and publicity – plus an uncanny ability to get inside the head of journalists and identify potential hazards far in advance – made them invaluable in enhancing and amplifying our communications strategy.”
