I have been using hurst Medias service…

I have been using hurst Medias service for over three years now. I find they can offer good value and understand how we want to push our brand visibility, they hit the mark and always comeback to show what activity has worked and hence to focus more on the positive outcomes….

Incompetant, pushy liars

I was mis-sold a digital PR campaign that promised to increase our SEO ranking via permanent backlinks while knowing perfectly well this was FALSE!

The campaign was poor, it drove no traffic or leads and more to the point it DID NOT yield a permanent DO FOLLOW BACKLINK so there was NO SEO value contrary to what I was sold.

After I originally complained they offered a pathetic £100 refund which is a long way short of the £2k we paid. I told them to stick it and never to contact me again.

I have since continued to get regular emails and even calls from various salespeople at Hurst despite my warning that if I get one more I will leave a bad review.

Surprise!!! They are incompetent and ruthless so, here I am sharing my story in the hope I can save someone else from making the same mistake!

Great experience working with Rob

Working with Rob at Hurst Media and, through him, with the digital team at The Times Online was a smooth and productive experience. Rob clearly understood our niche product and helped tailor the campaign to fit our budget. He and the team were supportive in creating collaterals and flexible throughout the process.

Despite initial concerns about prepayment, Rob quickly clarified everything, and the entire campaign went smoothly. Thanks to his support and clear communication, we gained valuable exposure to new audiences. Highly recommend Rob and his team!

Our best ROI on marketing spend

Hurst Media have helped us with our first attempts in printed national media over the last twelve months. Our account manager Sujan Jesuraja has been very helpful and informative and the wider team has been brilliant. We see Hurst as a part of our own marketing team and the results we've had in a number of publications have given a return on investment that we have never achieved elsewhere. From some hesitancy in the beginning to a huge increase in our business twelve months later I couldn't recommend Hurst Media more to help with marketing campaigns. We've agreed our next campaigns today.

Great to work with Danielle

I've been working with Danielle for a few months now and she has provided us with some great deals with health and retirement features for our home care company. Friendly yet professional, and always great to communicate with. We've had some great successes with our campaigns so far, so hopefully we can continue with this next year!

Great to work with Hurst Media

We were approached by Hurst Media to advertise in The Times Home & Garden Feature. Seb has been professional, friendly and extremely helpful from the moment they approached us regarding the advertising. We don't normally go for this type of advertising but it was a great deal & Seb’s enthusiasm and helpfulness to get an article in last minute made it happen. So far so good working with this company and we are looking forward to seeing the results.

A great opportunity for PR

Rob at Hurst was very knowledgeable about what we would require from our PR experience with Hurst. We were given all the tracking links, data points, and opportunities to see the impact from the beginning. The result exceeded our expectations.

Exceptional Service and Professionalism

I had the pleasure of working with Syed Kamal from Hurst Media Company. His sales skills were impressive, demonstrating both a deep understanding of the product and a genuine willingness to find the best solution for my needs. Syed was always available to answer my questions and address any concerns, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. His ability to compromise and ensure mutual satisfaction was truly commendable. Highly recommend!

A great experience from start to finish. We had an opportunity to work with Seb at Hurst Media who guided us seamlessly through the advertising process. We have had a really good response from our ad exposure and will definitely work with Seb and the team again in the future!

We had a great experience working with Sebastien at Hurst. He's friendly and helpful and lays everything out without using any complicated jargon. We haven't yet analysed the results of our ad but really happy with the service provided.

Excellent Service & Advice. Highly Recommend

I have now worked with Hurst Media on a couple of occasions specifically with Sebastian. Service has been faultless and Seb is very professional and extremely helpful, ensuring we get the best out of our advertisements. I cant recommend enough and my business has had a very positive return on our investments.
