Testimonials

“Skribe understands the power of big ideas and the art of navigating the press from the inside out. Storytellers at heart, Skribe sees that every startup, entrepreneur and innovative brand has a powerful story to communicate. Great ideas, great offering and most importantly, great people.”

Kathryn Parsons, Decoded

"Tracy was easy to work with, professional and engaging. We hosted a business female executives evening and from the outset, I trusted that Tracy would be an asset to the event. We are now looking at other areas for Skribe to work with us again."

Victoria J Ritchie, Head of Corporate Banking, HSBC

"The great thing about Skribe London is that it solves a real problem. Companies don't need a PR firm until they have stories to tell, Skribe London help companies tell their story in a way that journalists want to hear, so that the stories sell themselves."

Doug Richard, founder of School for Creative Start-ups and former Dragon’s Den investor

"We'd been on the look-out for journalists to talk at the Folksy Summer School 2013, so we were thrilled when we found Skribe London. Tracy and Marie-Claire were incredibly engaging and their advice was pitched exactly right for our audience. They tailored their tips to designer/ makers, showed them how to find their story, and how to take that to the press. They gave our designers and makers an insider's view of press and journalism, which will prove invaluable in their careers."

Camilla Westergaard, Folksy

"Skribe just get it. Two hugely experienced journalists that know who to talk to, what to say and how to get your brand noticed. They understand the power of a unique brand story and are experts at uncovering the aspects of your story that are most compelling to the press. Whilst you may understand your brand like no-one else, it is Skribe who can help you translate that story to the wider world and get you noticed." 

Coral Garlick, Brand Me Collective
