Headlinemoney Awards 2017

AWARDS 2017

PR Agency of the Year

Winner Quill PR

This is the first year that the Headlinemoney awards has created a standalone category to recognise and celebrate the best external PR agency working on behalf of financial services clients. As usual, it is the financial journalist community alone that voted in this category. To emerge top of a competitive pile is no mean feat. For 2017 many congratulations go to inaugural winner, Quill PR, whose expertise spans financial services from traditional wealth advisers to alternative asset managers, investment boutiques, friendly societies and life assurers. With an average of 15 years’ experience across the team, Quill’s deep industry knowledge means it boasts an extensive network of contacts across all media channels. “Quill have a great knowledge of their clients so are a source of information themselves. They are very pro-active about getting you access to the right people quickly. They are also professional and friendly and keep you very well updated on their clients,” one journalist commented. “In my experience, the team has been very active in coming up with interesting ideas for stories as well as working in a timely manner, answering questions and actively setting up meetings,” another correspondent pointed out. “They are the acceptable face of financial PR. I don’t say that very often,” a third journalist remarked.

Highly Commended Lansons

The Shortlist

• Camarco

Commiserations to Lansons who just failed by one place to land top honours in this year’s PR agency award. From the supporting comments submitted by journalists during the nominations process, there was plenty of admiration for the firm. “They are professional, knowledgeable and painstaking in their approach on behalf of clients,” one senior financial journalist said. “The firm is as creative and innovative today as it was when it was launched three decades ago,” another pointed out.
