Why Vividink?

There are plenty of PR and comms agencies out there; what makes Vividink the agency for you?

Integrity

We believe that transparency and honesty are the core of any successful business relationship, which is why we...

1. base our rates on what we know it will take to deliver the services required. We don't buy in and sell on.

2. employ all of our core team, which means that as we get to know you and your business, you will get to know us.

3. tell you what is and isn't possible, what you can expect, and what you need to do to ensure the successful delivery of our services.

4. only work with a maximum of 12 clients at any one time, and we don’t work with competing organisations.

We aim to reduce our environmental impact as much as possible, encouraging our team to work remotely and use public transport where possible. 

Specialisation

Since 2003, Vividink has specialised in just two market sectors - live events and the built environment.

This allows us to fully understand the markets, the media and the issues at hand. In turn, this makes us more responsive, more able to identify opportunities and secure opportunities for our clients.

The Art

PR and communications is the art of creating a compelling and meaningful story to communicate to your audience, one that utilises;

Ideas - Through experience and building relationships with the press, we understand the value of a good idea. We help clients find what's new and interesting in their business and make it news.

Storytelling - According to psychologist Jerome Bruner, facts are 20x more likely to be remembered if included in a story, and an ever-changing digital world, storytelling is a must for any brand looking to reach and build trust from its audience.

Imagery - A picture says a thousand words, and we know it. We work with our clients to help them find or take images that best showcase their brands.

We have the experience and knowledge of how to use these skills to make an impact on you and your businesses.

The Science

We help businesses and organisations manage how they are perceived by developing campaigns that deliver results. Whether you are looking to launch a product or service, promote an event, or make a major announcement, you’ll need to engage with your audience, crafting messages for the right media and channels.

We work using the tried and tested AIDA methodology:

Attention - grabbing the attention of your target audience

Interest - piquing their interest in what you have to say

Desire - generating a desire to engage with your organisation

Action - making that next step to contact you

Knowledge

We believe that it is essential for Vividink as an agency, but more importantly for our customers, that our team continues to develop and learn throughout their careers.

For this reason, each member of our team is qualified and accredited by the CIPR, CIM, and HubSpot. They are also members of the professional body appropriate to their specific discipline and cross over where necessary.

Experience

Vividink is an independent agency with over 20 years of experience delivering seamless PR and communications using tried-and-tested methods.

We strive to ensure your message is seen, heard and, most importantly, understood by those you need to reach.

Over the years, we have built skills and relationships in the built environment and live events sectors.

We have seen some great results working with the Vividink team and it feels like we're only just getting started.

It's a cliché, I know, but it genuinely feels like they are an extension of our team—we enjoy a bit of banter on our weekly catch-ups, and it feels like we've been working together for years, not months!
