This is what attracted us to Satellite MPR, they took time to find out what makes us tick, our drivers and aspirations. The outcome has been a successful partnership, one which has undoubtedly brought value to our business development."

"Satellite MPR has been fantastic in helping us increase the practice profile by working tirelessly to organise and generate some excellent exposure. Their ability to extract the necessary information, coerce our architects into engaging with journalists (not an easy task) and prepare all the necessary activities and elements, from tours to photography has meant that I can relax, confident in the knowledge that the right team are on the job. They are not only knowledgeable and proactive PR professionals they also provide clear headed, strategic opinion to the chaos that is architecture in today's world. I would recommend them to anyone.'
