General Testimonials
Whilst our expertise in this area was limited, we always had faith that there was great potential to communicate the delivery of a range of innovative puzzling products to a new digital market, plus increase our brand awareness with new audiences. The hard work, expertise and guidance from the Chameleon team has enabled us to communicate with new audiences which we previously struggled to engage with and as a result, we are able to introduce our products to a variety of receptive audiences. We are really pleased with the work the team has done and look forward to continuing with our digital campaigns in the future
- Tony Ablewhite, Brand Development Manager, Puzzler Media
Without any prompting, customers and prospects have been telling us that they have seen us in the media; our PR has helped us in the sales process as it shows we can be trusted. The solutions we put forward to customers are greeted much more enthusiastically by prospects when they know that we’ve successfully delivered with major brands in the past with a tangible return on investment
- Duncan Stevens, Director at Vita Energia
We were extremely pleased with not only the quantity of press meetings Chameleon scheduled for Scale, but the media coverage generated as a direct result. We were confident in the strong media relationships Chameleon has but they absolutely exceeded our expectations in every single aspect of this tour
- Heidi Monroe Kroft, Scale’s senior director, North American Marketing
I want to extend my thanks for the great job the team have done for Pace. This is officially our best ever IBC and, I believe, the best ever PR campaign we’ve done to support it. The hard work, expertise and guidance from Chameleon helped us fundamentally change the perspective of Pace in the eyes of our customers and the industry. It has given us a great platform to move forward from
- Alison Puente, head of external communications
I am always impressed with the ‘can-do’ attitude of the team and their partnership approach. Chameleon has a thorough understanding of a fast-growing company and a clear ability to support our business objectives
