Cheltenham Racecourse

"Vivid's careful community management of the Cheltenham Racecourse Facebook Page has generated an overwhelming number of positive fan comments which has been fantastic for our brand, and we have added the page to our sponsorship package, providing us with an additional revenue stream. To see the page grow to become the biggest of any UK racecourse is immensely gratifying and fits perfectly with our vision of Cheltenham as being market leaders in our field."

‘‘Vivid was the natural choice for the group when it came to deciding which PR company to call upon for support. We had already established that we would like to use a local agency due to the nature of our work and what we would be promoting. I have experience of working with the Vivid team as my wife Sue and I are fellow trustees of the Old Spot Trust. We have always been impressed with Vivid's enthusiasm and dedication to the work that it does in the county, the consultancy is a great champion for Gloucestershire and has terrific knowledge of the local area. As a group we have thoroughly enjoyed working with Vivid and have been delighted with what we have achieved together so far.''

 Fareham Borough Council

"A new Chief Executive, a new Head of Communications and a new approach. Fareham Borough Council turned to Vivid to help formulate a new, meaningful, Communications Strategy for the Council. To achieve this, they also needed to persuade the senior management team of the importance of communications and to get their 'buy in' to a new Strategy. Their friendly, inclusive and professional approach quickly won the hearts and minds of those involved. Vivid not only understand the world of communications, they also know how local government works."

Tellermate 

"Our relationship with Vivid began recently following a recommendation from our design agency. Whilst our previous public relations activity had been very focused on media relations, Vivid has provided us with a wide-reaching strategy that considers all of our options. From the outset they have been incredibly enthusiastic and great to work with and I'm really looking forward to building our relationship with them in the future.

Holly's input into Tellermate's PR activity has already been invaluable. Her ability to collect and aggregate relevant information has allowed us to develop an internal e-communication programme that allows me to deliver relevant insights from around the web to our senior management team - invaluable information for positioning Tellermate as the market leader in cash management."

Thomson and Bancks

"Nearly 12 months ago we decided that we had to move with the times and develop our marketing using social media.  We really had no idea where to start.  However, with the excellent input and training from Vivid we now have a Blog with regular contributions from staff, a Company Facebook page and a Company Twitter account.  As far as law firms go we believe we are ahead of the game in using social media, and a lot of this is down to the work with Vivid."

Tewkesbury Regeneration Initiative

"The TRI was set up approximately two years ago to initiate interest in regenerating Tewkesbury after the 2007 flood disaster; the project has been very successful we now have the local authority taking a major part in the Master Planning of the town. Vivid Consultancy played a significant part in the project; they became team leaders in branding and the creation of the Tewkesbury Logo. Vivid masterminded the strategy to get Tewkesbury featured on Mary Portas' "Save our Shops" program on the BBC.

The Vivid Consultancy gave us advice on all matters of communication and we found them to be passionate and enthusiastic throughout, TRI would and has recommended the consultancy to other potential clients."

Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service 

"Through funding provided by the IDeA, Vivid came to work with us when we really needed some clarity and reassurance about the direction in which to take our communications. Its clear and professional support steered us in the right direction and gave us the confidence to make the changes to improve our communications structure. The team worked with us to help us understand our internal audience and flush out the real blockages in our communications network. Since implementing the communications strategy Vivid helped us develop we have seen some great improvements."
