Credentials

Watershed is a ‘small giant’,
known for quality work and wide expertise.

In 2007 we were a national finalist for PR Week’s New Consultancy of the Year, beating many larger agencies across the UK. According to PR Week, we ‘punch above our weight from our Bridport base’.

Since then we’ve won many awards from the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR). In 2008 we won a CIPR Gold Award for Outstanding Small Consultancy. In 2009 and 2010 we won a variety of gold and silver awards for our campaigns.

We are a member of the PRCA (the Public Relations Consultants Association) and have attained their Consultancy Management Standard, a rigorous, independent assessment combining elements of ISO 9000 and Investors in People. There are more than 2,000 public relations firms in the UK and fewer than 150 hold the CMS standard.

Work with us and you get the best of both worlds – a regional agency with national influence.

Testimonials

A *HUGE* #ff to @watershedpr who are absolutely brilliant. Total opposite of ‘Eh? What? Can’t help, naff off’ PRs. Go and employ them.

More online searches were made for ‘Plankbridge’ in the last year than for ‘shepherd’s huts’. That’s thanks to your excellent PR efforts!

Richard Lee, Plankbridge Shepherd’s Huts

Such attention to detail and professionalism are rare to come by.

Susannah Shaw, Animated Exeter, Festival Director

Working with Watershed on the John Makepeace: Enriching the Language of Furniture was an absolute joy from beginning to end. They devised and delivered a highly successful PR campaign that resulted in extensive high quality coverage in the national, consumer and broadcast media – amazing results. I would recommend Watershed to anyone.

Josephine Rodrigues, Somerset House Trust

Watershed are a delight to work with. It’s rare to find a communications agency so hungry for results. They’re responsive and extremely creative.

Sam Heaton, Managing Director, eCards Media

Working with Watershed was invaluable for the profile of the festival. We could not have achieved the level of national coverage without their efforts and we were impressed by their flexibility and responsiveness to igfest’s requirements.

Lizie Keates, PR manager, igfest 2009, Bristol

Watershed continually astound us. Their media relations skills are second to none, recently they’ve secured substantial coverage across a range of opinion-forming press, ranging from the BBC 6 O’Clock News and The Sun to Radio 4′s Woman’s Hour. Their strategic counsel on reputation management and brand-building offers the essential support a successful consumer business needs.

Simon Mellinger, Managing Director, London Mint Office

The work undertaken for our city’s two festivals has been excellent. Watershed’s fresh approach to challenges, their passion, tenacity and enthusiasm make them one of the best agencies I have ever had the pleasure to work with.
