A consistent focus on results

“What impressed me most was Twelve Thirty Eight’s ability to understand our business objectives and to frame a story in an accessible and media-friendly way. We were extremely impressed with coverage, especially national television and radio coverage, of which there was much more than we expected.”

MD, technology start-up

"We are literally bombarded with approaches everyday, and it is ones from organisations like Twelve Thirty Eight - that we have a relationship with - that we'll look at first because they'll be sure to have something of interest to our readers."

City Editor, national newspaper

“Hamish is one of the few people I've met in the media business who can understand industry and translate that into media speak. He is absolutely invaluable at managing issues, spotting opportunities and is one of the brightest and most media savvy people I know. I had no hesitation in sharing our most sensitive information with Hamish and always had confidence in his advice.”

CEO, national retailer

“Hamish combines creativity and commercial instincts and is well connected with the media through a great contact book. He has delivered a substantial amount of brand-enhancing national print and broadcast coverage as a consultant to our business.”

Group Director of Corporate Affairs, FTSE 100 company

“As a national journalist I have had frequent cause to deal with Hamish. He is invariably highly professional, courteous and conscientious in all our dealings, an attitude which certainly contributed to my positive view of the companies he represents. Hamish presented the businesses and their various initiatives intelligently and positively and dealt effectively with reactive issues. I would recommend him very highly.”
