Testimonials

What our clients say about us:

Suzanne has a fantastic ability of being able to quickly understand political issues at play and subsequently roll out a coherent PR and communications plan that has always yielded fantastic results (both short and long term). Specifically I recently commissioned her to undertake a Media Audit, Report & Guide for the Royal School of Church Music. This key piece of work also resulted in us building long term relationships with a key media player that had not engaged with us at all until Suzanne stepped in. I would highly recommend her for her outstanding PR and communication skills, her commitment to detail, and always completing the job with fantastic results – often with very little notice from me and many last minute.com requests.

Angela Hamilton, Marketing Manager, Royal School of Church Music  

I worked with Madalene for over a year on developing and implementing a PR strategy for my small business. Not only is Madalene incredibly professional, reliable and passionate about supporting businesses to share their story in the media, she is a genuinely lovely colleague and a joy to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending Madalene and Summerhouse PR to any individuals or businesses looking for Media and PR support.

Tradefair has worked with the team at Summerhouse PR for the last 3 years. They have helped us  promote the Great Britain and Northern Ireland Pavilion at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2020, which we organised on behalf of techUK, the trade association for the UK technology industry and in partnership with the Department for International Trade  (DIT) The team has achieved impressive coverage in a noisy marketplace in both the national and consumer UK tech press for the Pavilion and the cutting edge tech companies that form the UK delegation.”

Her insight into the changing UK media landscape and the personal relationships with journalists are very much appreciated as we go into our third decade of cooperation.”

“They are true all-stars in every sense of the word and working with them is an honor and a privilege. No detail is ever too small for their watchful eyes yet they thrive on big-picture strategy, and pride themselves on making a client’s job EASY! They have been instrumental in helping us spread the good word about CES for years through their top-notch relationships with all the right journalists, especially in the technology and lifestyle realm. I simply don’t have enough time to say all of the wonderful things I’d like to about this dynamic duo!”

Allie Fried, Director, Global Event Communications, Consumer Technology Association (CTA)

“We asked the team at Summerhouse PR to promote EUclaim in the UK using both traditional and social media. They are very proactive and have achieved impressive national coverage for us in what has become an extremely busy market.  They  have become part of the EUclaim team and are great fun to work with and importantly they get the job done.”

“Working with Summerhouse has always been a pleasure. Prompt, professional and a lot of fun, I have always found them great to work with, answering any queries quickly and without any fuss.”

David Gilbert, European Technology Editor,  International Business Times

“I have worked with Madalene Whitson for many years and have always found her to be organised, proactive, communicative and a genuine pleasure to deal with. As a CES alumnus, my annual expedition to Las Vegas was always made a little easier and more bearable thanks to Madalene and her uncanny ability to make the trip as smooth as possible for UK journalists.

Madalene is also a very accomplished event organiser, having helped bring CES to the UK in the shape of CES Unveiled London. As well as putting key journalists in front of CES heavyweights like Gary Shapiro, Madalene also ensured that some of the best and brightest in British tech innovation were on hand. Madalene also arranged a discussion panel at CES Unveiled London focusing on innovation and entrepreneurialism in the technology industry, for which I was one of the panelists.

Madalene has all the attributes of a great PR person, both in terms of servicing her clients and delivering what journalists need, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone.”

Riyad Emeran, Editorial Director, Dennis Publishing

“It’s always a pleasure to deal with Summerhouse PR. Madalene is super-efficient at supplying the required information on deadline and keeping journalists up to date with the latest news. As well as being professional and efficient, she’s extremely enjoyable to work with.”

Libby Plummer, Freelance journalist, editor and copywriter

“When it comes to the women at the helm of Summerhouse PR, let me simply tell you that this matriarchy is State Of The Art.

They listen,  they happen to be utter sweeties and yet hilariously, there seems to be this adamantine core… as hard-edged business-interested as any accountant. It’s refreshingly honest an approach and as well as feeling spoilt rotten with the level of being ‘looked after’ as a press person under their wing, you get the feeling that they keep ahead of what’s new, even if just to show off!

The main thing is the oldest chestnut. These clever cookies do in fact know everybody.

And yes, I am biased, I adore them!”
