Such a Great Company - Highly Recommend :)

Such a Great Company, with lots of opportunities - The team are super fast at replying and are always there to answer any questions or help when needed. I have only been with them a couple of months and have been featured in FORBES

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Don’t pay anything you can’t afford to lose.

I was approached via email by this company, but sadly the staff member who reached out didn’t realise I had already been let down to the tune of several hundred pounds by the previous company that Jordan ran into the ground.
I questioned them but to no response, so I questioned on social media and they deleted my comments and blocked me.
These people leave a bad taste in the mouths of those they have let down. I am waiting to be told by the insolvency service how much I’ll receive - probably nothing.

——additional below here, a direct answer to unlockd’s reply to this review——

Thank you for your very prompt reply, “Lisa”.

Surprisingly prompt as it’s gone 10pm, as if you’re on the look out for bad reviews. Like the 14 that have already been investigated and removed (just look at the transparency stats).

I certainly don’t have the wrong company - I have the email from a staff member listed on your website, I have evidence I’m blocked on your Facebook page, and I have evidence of a link between Unlockd and Sanity. My review is valid, and the evidence has been shared with Trustpilot.

I have updated the title as I did indeed lose a deposit from the previous company (which should have been ringfenced as it was due to be returned before any announcement was made), but looking at the unlockd website you now take a retainer.

I wish your clients and yourselves luck. Hopefully you’ve now found a business model which won’t let small businesses down. I will not be one of those small businesses. You will never find my company name on your books.

--THE SAGA CONTINUES 28th Feb 2022--

You know, Lisa, rather than attacking my own business, why don't you own the facts? In the last few days you and (likely) a colleague from a linked email address left libellous reviews on my business profile (which have now both been removed - yours by TrustPilot without me flagging it as it broke so many of their rules, and the second presumably by the person who posted it) that attacked both my business and me personally. You have also, in your current response (you replaced your previous one) have named my business and have quoted *out of context* sections of an email that were not sent to you, and are protected by data protection rules.
I am very happy to discuss your concerns if you ever tried to contact me directly - but you haven't. You've attacked and attacked, and tried unsuccessfully to get my *verified* review removed.

I am being threatened this evening via email by Jordan with legal proceedings. As a representative of your company and someone you admit is a colleague of yours, this is not a good look.

You know what I would have done? The way I posted your review on my facebook page and laughed about it? If I were you, I'd have replied to my review with the following:

“Hi Pip, I’m really sorry to hear you had a bad experience with Sanity Marketing. Yes, Jordan works here. Yes, there were problems with his previous company - which is why he isn’t in charge of this one, and unlockd works on a different business model that leaves no potential for unreturned funds (as you experienced) because everything is free with us until press is published for our clients.
I understand your review, and would hope that in future you feel differently.
Once again, unlockd is not Sanity.
All the best with your business, Lisa"

Of course, this didn't happen, which is odd as you'd have thought that someone working in PR should know that no news is bad news, and you could have spun it with my review being just one of 25 - with the other (seemingly unverified) reviews all being five stars from current happy clients.

Sadly, that's not what you did. You went down a very bad road.

I'm not going to address the content of my private email that you've left in your response, as I hope you will soon delete it. Suffice to say, it does not tell the full story. It was sent to a Sanity email address (which you say you were not involved in) not to you. What I will say is that I responded to Jordan immediately on receipt of his email, letting him know that I would respond in full to your comments - but would wait first. An hour has passed and nothing has changed, and this is a fast-moving world.

I want nothing from you except for you to leave me and my business alone. If you and Jordan can just agree to that, we can leave it here.

Hi Phil, as you know, your issue is with a colleague here (and your previous dealings with them at another company) not with Unlockd. You have had no dealings with Unlockd at all. Last week, you asked me via email to pay you £500 to remove this review, I quote "This has been a hard two years...the best option would be for Unlockd to buy some items from Pip’s Real Hot Chocolate ...I can do them at £1 with a custom branded label for Unlockd...500 branded items (we can agree on a label)". I've forwarded this onto Trustpilot for review.

UPDATED:

Hi Phil, I’m not sure why you keep updating your review (this is the third time)? You keep referencing a company that has nothing to do with us. Concerning the rest, I’m not exactly sure what you are taking about - to reconfirm - I don’t know you at all. To correct you - we don’t charge when an article is published, we don’t charge at all. It’s a free service. As you know, your review is verified as we flagged it as not genuine and you provided an email you received from us in October with a free press request for a journalist looking for hot chocolate samples and we asked if you’d be keen to help (you replied with a strange email, addressed to a young girl and we blocked you). Trustpilot allows anyone who can show an email from the company to be eligible to review that business (even if you’re talking about another company). Those are just Trustpilot’s rules (no matter how silly or open to extortion they are). Frustratingly, had we not offered you a free feature - you couldn’t have done this review and demanded £500 from us. Still - we aren’t going to let that sour things for us and we’ll still reach out to people with free PR opportunities. You’re right that I haven’t contacted you, I’ve never spoken to you and you’ve had no dealings with Unlockd. I’ve received two emails from you (to our hello@ address) - one was asking for £500 to have this review removed (I directly quoted it above). I passed that onto Trustpilot and the other one asking me to edit my reply to this review (above) where I quoted you asking for £500, claiming it was a confidential email - which it wasn’t. I think it gives a very good insight for readers into the motivation of this review.

Awesome for fashion startup PR

As a fashion startup, these guys have been helping me get glowing press reviews. Would highly recommend them.

Thanks for the review Dharmesh - we love working with HAVAH! Daily Mail, Woman & Home, Women's Health and others all secured and more to come!

Great results.

I've been signed up to a bunch of these press release kind of organisations but never really had any meaningful response. This is in complete contrast to my experience with Unlocked where immediately, on first attempt there was contact with journalists who included my content in their publications. Such a great result. Would highly recommend.

Well Managed with Plenty of Leads

Really pleased with the service from this outfit. Plenty of opportunities to get involved in. We only pay if we get featured, so nothing to lose.
We have had products featured in cosmopolitan and even got a free mention in OK magazine thanks to Unlocked
Have worked with plenty of agencies in the past, and this is the first one we have stuck with. They have the contacts and that's what counts

Best decision we made.

We have been with Unlockd for nearly just 3 weeks and have received some incredibly opportunities for press coverage. They are so organised and attentive. We can't wait for what 2022 brings.

They deliver on their promises!

I have been vey impressed with the professionalism of the team at Ulockd marketing. I have only been with them a couple of weeks and right from the start the press opportunities have been coming in. The question is whether I can keep up! I'm pleased so far and will continue using them for the time being.

Unlock Marketing is a 5 starts solution…

Unlock Marketing is the best solution we found for marketing strategy and PR. We certainly recommend and can confirm they deliver their services for big or small businesses with the same level of commitment, which makes the difference. Doesn't matter the size of our projects.
Another very important factor is that the teamwork is made in synchronicity and we don't get lost in the middle of the process of putting out there our marketing campaigns. We recommend them for sure!
And thanks for the great services and very fair prices.

Couldn't be happier with the team!

Couldn't be happier with the team at Unlockd - regular press opportunities, inclusion in press releases and my account manager on hand whenever I have a question or idea. I've received numerous press mentions and secured that much-needed social proof. Their innovative business model of bringing affordable PR to small businesses is pure genius and it works brilliantly for my brand. Highly recommend.
