PR, communications and events

Kevin McMahon, Artistic Director, Edinburgh International Magic Festival:

“Vicky is very hard working, has good contacts and is great to work with and managed to get the Magic Festival an unprecedented amount of publicity. She is extremely dedicated, has an eye for detail and can always find the right angle to pitch a news story. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to raise their profile in the media.”


Ru Herd, Course Director, Krua Thai Cookery School:

“After lengthy consideration, we eventually chose VJP Media to launch ‘Song Kran Festival’.  Everything has gone 100% according plan. The results that Vicky has achieved have certainly surpassed our expectations. Vicky has helped us to attain what we were looking for and has given us an even stronger work ethic. She has worked tirelessly to maximise our benefits, has been highly effective and productive, has functioned as our manager, advisor, mentor, personal assistant, secretary and has been truly supportive all the way through, thereby making the whole process worry-free for us. Her ability to work as part of our team is a quality that all organisations are looking for. VJP Media certainly has our full confidence when it comes to efficiency and reliability and it will be first on our list for future launches. As a result, I have no hesitation in recommending VJP Media to other organisations who have the same level of expectation as we do. Our decision this year to choose Vicky and VJP Media as our PR is one of the most successful we have ever made. We wish VJP Media every success of the future and would like to express our sincere thanks to Vicky for turning our vision into reality….”

John Harris, Chief Executive, Red Note Ensemble:

“Vicky Pitchers at VJP Media was key to the success of our tour. She was very quick to understand our needs, built and planned a highly effective campaign, and secured us excellent coverage in advance, including features in the press, on radio and in other media. She was tireless in pursuing both local and national profile opportunities, and ensured that, in the end, we far exceeded our expected coverage, profile and – critically for us – box office. She kept us informed of progress at every stage of the campaign, advised us on our best strategies going forward, and was continually pro-active and positively engaged. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to others requiring media services.”

Sarah Lee, MD, Hot Tin Roof:

“Vicky Pitchers is one of the hardest working PRs I have come across. She hits the ground running, is hugely creative, fits straight in and starts to get results immediately. She has huge energy and a great sense of humour which is an added bonus as she has a great impact on everyone in the agency. I love working with her and only hope too many others don’t find out how good she is or she will be too much in demand for us!”

Professor Brian Foster and Jack Liebeck, The Oxford May Music Festival:

“Vicky did a great job for the media relations for The Oxford May Music Festival in 2010. She was proactive in getting our material on all the relevant websites, both local and national. She organised interviews and material on the most important local radio stations and newspapers as well as magazines, and got images and stories into the general media. We are very happy with the job she did for us and can recommend her highly.”

John Campbell, MD, Spider Online Ltd:

“Vicky was very quick to understand our needs. She built and planned a comprehensive campaign, and secured us excellent coverage in our target publications. Her attention to detail was excellent and she always kept us informed of progress at every stage of the campaign, advised us on our best strategies going forward, and was continually pro-active and positively engaged. I would have no hesitation recommending Vicky.”

Tony Harding, MD, Momentum SPK Training:

“Vicky has a huge work ethic and delivers on her promises and strategy, she is very thorough in her output and puts together strong communication strategies. She will challenge your thoughts and push you forward with your communications plans – she does exactly what it says on her tin!”

Bronwen Tulloch, Comedy Cafe, BBC Radio Scotland:

“Vicky Pitchers of VJP Media has provided me with excellent guests for my live comedy programme on BBC Radio Scotland. She clearly has a sound understanding of and good relationship with her clients offering me not only the best guests for the purpose of my show, but also suggesting a strong focus for discussions. The service was friendly, prompt and efficient and without doubt one of the most professional PR companies I have dealt with.”

Dawn Donaghey, Content Editor, The Sunday Post:

“As a journalist I deal with dozens of PRs every week and, having worked with VJP Media on various features, I only wish that more were as ‘tuned in’ and professional as Vicky. Well-researched and targeted releases are followed up with a friendly phone call and a chat over how best to tailor a piece for our publication. Vicky’s experienced approach means she instinctively knows how to get the best from her clients – which means the best features for us, too!”

Helen Martin, Editor, Edinburgh and Lothian Herald & Post:

“I have worked with VJP Media on several occasions involving a range of clients and have always found Vicky to be extremely helpful and supportive of my needs in order to achieve the best coverage for her clients. It is a relief to know that the PR in charge of an interesting client’s coverage is (like Vicky) going to be efficient, professional, responsive, aware of deadlines, works as quickly as necessary, appreciates what will ‘work’ and what won’t, and thus achieves a happy and successful outcome for media and client.”

Shaun Milne, Editor, STV Local:

“Vicky Pitchers is a fantastic ambassador for her brands with a real can do attitude, comprehensive understanding of media needs, double quick turnaround times and methodical in planning. She will also go that extra mile to ensure events and one to ones are always tailored to specific needs, elevating her above the one size fits all mantra that often dogs public relations.”

Rob McDougall, Photographer:

“I have worked with Vicky on several occasions to provide photography services for PR photo shoots. She is great to deal with; professional, creative and fun. She puts in a great deal of effort to make sure that photo shoots go to plan so that the objectives of the client are not only met but exceeded. Vicky brings a great deal of experience of the media industry with her and demonstrates a clear understanding of the needs of her clients.”
