I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her.”

“From the first week of working with Ballard Associates, the team was willing to take on any challenge we threw at them and we have remained impressed by their flexibility and attitude. Whilst their experience and specialism in Austria and Central and Eastern Europe makes them particularly unique, we would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, proactive and fun PR agency.”

“The Ballard Associates team took the time to listen and understand our needs and goals. They have an extensive list of quality contacts in the press, and devised a bespoke media strategy for Redington. They are a creative group, constantly thinking outside of the box, pushing the boundaries of what is possible, always available to meet our ever changing needs. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to work with a group of intelligent, creative, hard working and fun people.”

“We’ve really enjoyed working with Louise and the team at Ballard Associates on a number of different projects, important to the City of London, over the past five years. I have been constantly impressed by their first class contacts and invaluable strategic advice as well as a professional, ‘can-do’ attitude, all of which has provided us with excellent results. I can’t recommend Ballard Associates highly enough and particularly value their ability to work with high-profile partners, sensitively, while still getting the coverage!”
