"We reached out for a consultation to Rob and his willingness to help and transparency was remarkable. He offers you insightful guidance whilst helping you to achieve your goals."

"Working with Rob on the release of our new EP has been an absolute delight. Having functionally been on hiatus for two years before this release came out, and having invested a lot of money in putting this EP together, a solid PR campaign was absolutely essential to us. We had never worked with Rob before, but we were impressed by Stampede's social media presence, and after an extremely encouraging, no-obligation, initial meeting we decided Rob was the guy for us, and he did not disappoint. This was not a cookie-cutter service; Rob took the time to get to know us, our brand and our fans, and provided clear-minded, insightful advice throughout. When it comes to this business, Rob has been there, done that and bought the t-shirt, and it shows. The PR campaign was exactly what we needed; we got plenty of media attention (news, reviews and interviews), and a very gratifying print review. Rob was always in contact, and his social media campaigning never slackened. Bands looking for PR support should look no further; Rob will look after you."
