what they say

Select First could spend all day patting itself on its back, but arms would soon get tired and that's not the way the agency operates. Instead, SelectFirst leaves you to make your own judgement based upon the feedback it has had. Also, don't forget that the long-standing relationships with clients say a great deal too.

"I don't believe I've ever done this before but I wanted to commend you for the release you've just sent.

"It was beautifully written, (error-free as far as I'm aware) told the story just once, (no repeated info in various paragraphs) wasn't full of unnecessary upper case words or trademark symbols and was easy to understand. I actually didn't have to do anything with it.

"Plus not only did it include all the client contact details, (many of your competitors don't bother with such 'trivialities'!) it also informed me that there weren't any supporting images.

"I'm probably coming across as a bit mad but you've no idea how frustrating it is to receive some of the rubbish I'm sent by PR's who are obviously earning a fortune for doing a bad job. Often by the time I've received the images or contact details, I've managed to bury my draft of the story or the original email so I end up not using the story after having put a lot of work into it. And of course the clients suffer too."
Jan Hobbs, Editor, Cleanzine Magazine.

"Thank you so much Tom; this is perfect!"

Hayley Gilbert, Interiors Journalist

Ruth Ling, Deputy Editor, FX Magazine

"Select First are a pleasure to work with. They are quick to respond to requests, always hit deadlines and provide a steady flow of information and press releases to ensure the magazine is up-to-date with all of their client's latest news. They are frequently a first port of call when a last minute feature is in need of some extra information or some industry comments."
Jemma Tipping, Editor, The Flooring Magazine

"I have worked with Select First for more than five years and have found the company to be capable, knowledgeable and creative. SelectFirst stands out from the crowd responding quickly and adroitly to a wide range of issues. Whether news, features, interviews, expert opinion or comment, both Tom and Myles can be relied upon to deliver accurate information in a timely manner."
John Legg, Editor-in-Chief, The Gearing Media Group

"Having worked with Select First for a number of years, I have always found them to be a helpful, efficient and very friendly company with plenty of expertise in the home interest sector. Images are always sent promptly in time for deadlines, including all pricing, product details and stockist information required. We are kept up-to-date with new products as and when they are available, without being constantly bombarded with press releases!"
Lisa Hibberd, Homes Editor, Your Home

"As a freelance designer, stylist and journalist for national interiors magazines including House Beautiful and Your Home, I am in constant contact with many PR agencies and always value the professional service I receive from Select First. Myles and his team are efficient and friendly and no matter what my request, the response is always fast and reliable. I am kept right up-to-date with new products too, so the service they provide is timely and appreciated."
