“flannel helped build our business.”
- JACOB SALAMON, FORMER INTERNATIONAL MARKETING DIRECTOR AT BAZAARVOICE
In just under three years, Bazaarvoice saw 350 pieces of press coverage, reported multiple leads and secured new business as a direct result of press exposure.
Despite having a big presence in the US when we began working with Bazaarvoice, the online ratings and reviews technology company was unknown in the UK and part of a nascent industry - only a handful of retailers and brands had ratings and reviews at the time.
We created stories and ideas, built journalist relationships and helped Bazaarvoice become synonymous with the term social commerce.
Justin Crandall, former UK managing director said this in an email to Bazaarvoice staff a year in to the PR campaign: “The buzz in the market is absolutely huge right now. I can't believe how many people have asked me how we're ramping so quickly and who we're using for PR given all the articles. We keep hearing from people that everywhere they turn, someone is mentioning Bazaarvoice.”
The company is now the largest provider of ratings and reviews services in the UK, counting top retailers such as Boots, Debenhams, Halfords and Homebase among its clients.
