TCH Law has been working with The Word Agency since the April 2012, as a result of expansion of the debt recovery and insolvency areas of our firm.
Brendan McKenna has assisted us in increasing our social media exposure, but also gained media exposure for the firm almost instantly from the time we began working with The Word Agency: including appearances on BBC Scotland and STV.
We have been delighted with Brendan’s go-get attitude, and with the assistance he’s given to us.
Word Agency have also provided invaluable guidance with regards the media exposure we’ve received, and we are delighted to have them working alongside TCH Law in our ongoing expansion.
I have worked with Kevin McKenna of “the Word Agency” on a number of projects and I have always found his contribution to be invaluable . The addition of a brilliant wordsmith to our brochures and marketing literature, has saved us a significant amount of time on the project and has enhanced the quality of the end product.
Together with his political and journalistic contacts, Kevin’s speed of return and professionalism has been great value !
Over the last year, we have been supported by the Word Agency in all PR matters in some circumstances, highly sensitive cases. Kevin and Brendan have had their fingers on the pulse and are an agency who give a personal service that larger agencies are unable to achieve, with the ability to work under pressure and to deliver a high standard of results for MLM Solutions.
MLM solutions has been working with Brendan since the beginning of the year. We re-branded last year and were keen to drive home the message that we’re not corporate undertakers but are passionate about finding solutions to financial difficulties. In particular, we’re keen to promote the Company Voluntary Arrangement as a rescue tool. Through innovative use of social media strategies, Brendan has found us media exposure way beyond our expectations. He’s an enthusiastic supporter and now feels every bit like a member of our team.
Keep Scotland Beautiful is pleased to be a partner of the Word Agency. We have found them to be of great assistance to our organisation in relation to our public affairs work and also in relation to receiving good advice on how best to handle our media and communications activity.
“I’ve known Kevin McKenna man and boy so I can say without fear of contradiction that if you need a fearless collaborator to guide you through the media’s shark infested waters Kevin is simply the best”.
