We don’t believe in just taking a brief. Instead we get under the skin of your business, your long and short-term objectives and work in collaboration to create campaigns that matter.
What you can expect from GLR Public Relations
01. EQ+IQ
We combine business smarts and emotional intelligence to create stories that touch your audience on an deeper level.
02. Do it well
If we can’t do it well, we simply don’t do it. Success is what drives us, not disappointment.
03. Fit to collaborate
We work with our clients not for them, their success is our success and if a business isn’t able to collaborate it’s not fit to be our client. We feel it’s best to get this out of the way up front. It avoids those awkward conversations further down the line.
04. We, our people
We’re all people, not robots, and we demand professional respect and openness from our colleagues and our clients.
05. Integrity
We are trusted by our clients. After all their reputations are in our hands.
