Testimonials

BIRD PR was amongst the first firms I started working closely with on moving to London a year ago and I find them seriously switched on, efficient, proactive, and very nice to work with! They’re collaborative, creative and understand the nuances of the business. They come to me with genuinely interesting ideas and have a roster of some of the most exciting properties in the world.

I get excited whenever I see that a property is represented by BIRD. The team consists of the type of people you want to be associated with – so smart, savvy, insightful and professional, but with the right amount of cool. They approach editors as individuals, building relationships rather than managing business. Their ideas are smartly conceived, original and tailored; always reflective of what works in travel now. BIRD is not just a pleasure to work with but a pleasure to know.

I have worked closely with Daisy and her team for years and found them utterly professional to work with. Always on the ball: suggesting relevant story angles, providing me with information, arranging access to their clients and hosting immaculately organised press trips. I would recommend them as one of the most on-the-ball PR agencies in the industry.

BIRD is one of the (sadly all too few) PR agencies who reads a brief, understands it and actually addresses it rather than heading off on a time-wasting tangent. The BIRD team often makes intelligent suggestions about possible story development. I also particularly appreciate their sophisticated attitude towards the editorial process, which makes them much easier to work with than many of their fellow PRs. They have their finger on the pulse for inspiring stories and emerging destinations and have proved invaluable for past editorials. They’re professional but good fun too and I enjoy working with them.

BIRD Travel PR is one of the agencies I work with most closely in the industry – they are consistently communicative, direct and collaborative, understanding what it requires to put together engaging editorials. They are forward thinking and cleverly attuned to the current appetite in travel.

The brilliant thing about the BIRD team is that they think like journalists. So I look forward to every meeting, knowing I’ll come away with far-flung destinations filling my mind, wanderlust in my heart and a notepad exploding with ideas. More than the meetings – I look forward to the actual journeys; always efficient, interesting, high-end and a blast of fun. Daisy has become a good friend. I trust her – because unlike many PRs I feel that Daisy chooses her clients – they don’t choose her.

I am genuinely always thrilled to open an email from BIRD, as I know it will contain an enticing idea or invitation for some beautiful adventure. Their inimitable client roster, not to mention polished and engaging team, makes them a firm I continue to want to work—and travel—with over and over.

As someone who has attended my fair share of travel press trips, working with BIRD was seamless and truly enjoyable. It takes a lot of skill and coordination to ensure everything goes smoothly. I look forward to the next project!

There are publicists who work on behalf of their clients to disseminate their key messages (whatever they may be) and regardless of the quality will upsell whatever it is that brand or company needs promoting. And then there is BIRD. As a travel writer who has known Daisy for over a decade, I have come to trust her taste, rely on her efficiency and enjoy her intelligent informed company. As founding editor of Mr & Mrs Smith, I value curation and taste very highly and what I respect most about BIRD is their unrivalled integrity. When it comes to style, luxury and the boutique hotel space, there are too many products that use these labels undeservedly. If BIRD represents a hotel, I quite simply know it’s worth writing about and that my readers will in turn thank me for my recommendations: which is refreshing in PR as, let’s be honest, every publicist has had to oversell some duds in their day. Not Daisy. I’ve spent time with Daisy in the company of her clients in meetings and on press trips and she is admirably direct – always for the benefit of the client’s brand and their long-term reputation. She thinks laterally and holistically – far beyond the realms of traditional PR – considering their brand strategy, customer journey and guest experience. BIRD doesn’t just achieve column inches but connects hoteliers to hard-to-reach influencers to get their properties talked about within the right networks, and helps them keep their product and their communications on-brand to achieve the best commercial results.

I’m always incredibly impressed by Daisy’s commitment to the hotels she looks after.  She is extremely connected and respected by media but equally adept when it comes to creating a strategy and optimising partnerships.  Whether you’re launching a new property or need to amplify your latest stories as an established entity, I can’t recommend her and her team highly enough.
