Cannot recommend highly enough

Cannot recommend highly enough. Jonathan extremely knowledgeable and helpful and the writing of the actual release was excellent. We have had over 15k views on LinkedIn and radio interview, among other coverage. Have just commissioned the second press release brief with briefly.

Fantastic work! Exactly what I needed

Briefly really simplified the process of PR for me and delivered exactly what I needed which was to help raise awareness for a crowdfunding campaign. The PR piece was excellently written and the message really well communicated I can’t thank them enough!

Very Impressed

I have tried other PR distribution services in the past - without any success. Briefly however is a totally different animal and straddles the void between PR agency and distribution service perfectly.

Briefly gives the option of having your news ideas shaped by professional journalists. They help to shape and refine your news hook.

The app also keeps you updated as to where coverage has been generated.

All of this for a very reasonable price.

Best of all Briefly generated results - in the national press no less. Which is all a brand owner could want from a PR service.

Really impressed and would recommend highly.

Spot on

In short, Briefly give us everything we want from an agency and nothing that we don't. Every pound delivers value. No fluff. No wastage. Brilliant service.

Cost effective PR solution for companies without access to media databases

I was delighted with the support from Jonathan and the team at Briefly when I needed to send out a press release at short notice. The small national charity couldn’t afford a media database and needed to engage local and national press on a reactive campaign. This was the perfect cost effective solution. It enabled a wider yet targeted distribution of the press release which complemented the charity’s existing approach. It helped to secure increased media coverage and supported outreach to journalists.

A great alternative...

We wanted to quickly send a press release but at the same time were not ready to engage with a PR agency. Briefly.app provided the platform, the expertise and support to allow us to do this and provided some great results.

Money very well spent

We decided that rather than try to promote an auction item with a very interesting history ourselves through our usual channels, to spend a little money and use a professional service. The results have been outstanding: three national newspapers fighting to cover the story first, international coverage in lifestyle magazines and blogs, and a major spread in the Daily Mail, both in print and online. Our goal was to get our business name in areas in which we do not normally operate. Money very well spent. Highly recommended.

Thanks Simon. It is only occasionally that PR stories develop in the way yours did and we were pleased to be involved. Sure our service secured you some great interest and coverage but Holts ultimately spotted a brilliant news story opportunity and took full advantage of it. Together we made it a success and we were immensely proud to be a part of your success. On to the next story...

Straightforward, affordable and effective

In the absence of a big PR contract, we used Briefly to quickly circulate some news about our restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised, and couldn't help but think Briefly is the tool I've needed for years to keep my costs down yet still communicate our business headlines to those that matter. I found the process straightforward and easy to navigate, affordable, and effective. We picked up a good amount of interest despite a rushed timeline (isn't it always)!
