"The LEWIS team in France did an excellent job in the French market so the agency was a prime candidate to handle the campaign in multiple markets. What clinched our decision was LEWIS’ presence in our major European markets and their ability to deliver consistent international messaging with a local approach."

Karine Picque, European Imaging Marketing Manager

“LEWIS has done a terrific job on the PR following our Dragons’ Den appearance. We’ve had coverage in nearly all the dailies, a number of radio stations and on the web. Awareness is very high, and we have run out of stock (in fact we have sold twice as much in the last 3 weeks as we had in the previous 8 months!). The team has been really enthusiastic, coming up with some great ideas (I dispensed ‘Business wisdom’ in the FT, and was interviewed by Jazz FM!), and they have been a real pleasure to work with.”
 
 Steve Smith, founder and Dragon Slayer, trueCall

“The success of a global brand like Lexmark is really supported by consistent strategy and messaging across all markets, and that’s where we really see the value of a single international PR network and of a coordinated approach. The results achieved by one pan-EMEA agency, both in terms of quality and quantity, speak for themselves with Lexmark currently working with LEWIS PR in a total of 17 countries across EMEA.”

Séverine Roussel, PR Manager EMEA, Lexmark

“LEWIS has worked hard to really get under the skin of Acxiom and as a result the team has a great understanding of our business. Spending time with spokespeople and developing their opinions into media-friendly ideas has got our name out there, and associated Acxiom with some of the most important issues facing the marketing industry today. The team has some great relationships with our target journalists in the marketing press, and regularly achieves the coverage to prove it.”

Pat Kelly, Marketing Director, Acxiom

“LEWIS has helped to generate substantial awareness of the Kroll Ontrack name and capabilities in the mainstream press. Their experience and creativity has helped hit our target sector in Ireland repeatedly over the last eight months at a national level - an absolute must in a highly competitive industry.

Ciaran Farrell, business development manager, Kroll Ontrack Ireland

"LEWIS provided attentive account management, not only to the budget holder, but to each of our local markets. Most importantly, the press told me that they were happy with the service they received from LEWIS. With both my internal and external clients happy, I'm happy."

Björn Barnard, European Marketing Communications Manager, Kensington Computer Products Group

"I would like to thank you for the tremendous job in preparing the PR part of our LEGO Grand factory opening. The event was visited by an amazing amount of media and among other VIPs the Finance Minister of Hungary.
I was extremely satisfied with your effort and work - it was great working with you."

Tímea Gubás, Marketing & PR Manager – Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, LEGO

"We worked with LEWIS to launch Napera’s security solution in Europe. LEWIS showed they understood our industry well and were able to quickly get under the skin of our business and engage with target publications. Within a week we had our press tour launch arranged in the UK and Germany, which was a great success. Throughout the campaign, LEWIS consistently found unique opportunities for bylines and inclusions, and I was amazed by the pitches and coverage they secured for our company, products, and initiatives. The PR definitely raised awareness of Napera amongst partners and prospects in Europe.

I think the team’s work at LEWIS has been exemplary, and I would hire them again in a second. The proactiveness, results, and just overall professionalism and capabilities have made working with them an extremely positive experience for our company."

Margaret Dawson, VP of Marketing, Napera Networks

“I have been working closely with LEWIS over the last three years. In that time they have been my ‘right hand agency’ setting up a pan-European PR infrastructure from scratch and even helping me train the new members of my marketing team. They have been integral in helping develop our pan-European PR and communications strategy and the campaign execution has been second to none. Don’t expect to have a quiet life with LEWIS; they will be hot on your tails with new ideas and thoughts around proving the value and ROI of PR activity. They are certainly a cut above the rest.”

Tracy Gill, Group Manager Marketing Europe, Avanade

“LEWIS PR has been a trusted partner for Managed Objects for over four years. LEWIS’ counsel helped us expand our market visibility and enabled us to creatively convey a complicated value proposition within a quickly shifting marketplace. This was critical to winning the ongoing battle for customers and was one of the critical factors in demonstrating successes that ultimately attracted Novell as an acquirer.”

Siki Giunta, President and CEO of Managed Objects

“Once again, a huge thank you to LEWIS PR for a tremendous PR job - I can't ever remember getting this level of PR coverage in the nationals and it has really taken both the event and the brand to a new level.”

Ken Deeks, founder, Byte Night

"On behalf of InterQuest Group I’d like to express our gratitude for the excellent work put in by the team on our account this year.

I would not hesitate to recommend LEWIS PR’s services and I very much hope that we have the opportunity to work with you again in the near future."

David Bevan, director of communications, InterQuest Group Plc

"The incorporation of LEWIS has meant the introduction to Spanish media. Before the contract agreement, Siemens PLM Software was only appearing on some specific and specialized media like CAD but now is also reaching technology magazines and daily global publications. This is helping us to achieve a better image on and to media."

Aurea López Gayarre, marketing manager, Siemens PLM Software

"LEWIS Spain provides a truly insightful perspective on the Spanish media and how NAVTEQ can best be present. Though NAVTEQ has a global reach, as a company we are always striving to connect our messages locally. Thanks to our partnership with LEWIS we are able to do this."

Jennifer Fondrevay, regional corporate marketing Vice President, NAVTEQ

"In the first six months of working with us, LEWIS PR understood our business better than any other agency we have worked with before. The initial time the LEWIS team spent on getting to know Northgate HR, including secondary research as well as speaking to one-to-one to key contacts, made them shine above all the others. Since coming on board, LEWIS has developed innovative and robust processes for maximising opportunities including 'newshounding' days, a series of one-to-ones with personnel to uncover key benefits of products and services and build up PR initiatives.

It is projects like these that give me the confidence that LEWIS PR now understands our business and the market place we operate in. As a major side-benefit, this has helped get buy-in from our key spokespeople, encouraging them to be more pro-active in getting the Northgate HR name out there."

Joe Slater, Marketing Manager, Northgate HR

"Since working with LEWIS, Citrix’s PR has been lifted to a higher level."

Ed Bezooijen, Regional Marketing Manager Benelux, Citrix

Tanja Hossfeld, Manager Marketing Communication & PR - CE & EE, Infor Global Solutions

“Salesforce’s PR machine is the best drilled since Microsoft, circa 1990”

Martin Veitch, executive editor, IT Week

“The team is enthusiastic and passionate, and has the work rate we need to maintain a strong brand for Second Life and Linden Lab as the company grows and matures.”

“It really does feel like our marketing team has four more members – I sometimes almost forget that the LEWIS team isn’t actually part of Linden Lab.”

Catherine Smith, Marketing Manager, Second Life, Linden Lab

“Working with LEWIS has been a very positive experience and has shown the difference that an intelligent and active PR company can make to your business.”

“We’ve even had several enquiries from high-street brand organisations which had been reluctant to engage previously, but now have an interest based on what they’ve read about us in the press. This kind of contact is the lifeblood of companies like Software AG.”

Jim Close, Country Manager, Software AG UK

“We trust LEWIS PR with our communications, because of its expertise, creativity, professionalism and sympathetic media approach.”

Bernadette van Beest, Marketing Manager SPSS Benelux
