During my time at PKF, MD Communications worked with my new marketing team on a retainer basis following a full tendering process.  The results from this collaboration were significant, with a 26% increase in business enquiries coming through the PKF.com website.  All of this was achieved in under 12 months.

They are very knowledgeable of the whole submissions process and have teamed up greatly both with us in the Business Development Team but also with the partners in each of the areas to get the most out of them. I would definitely recommend them for their deep knowledge, kind follow up and great attention to detail.

Melissa and her team provided extensive knowledge and understanding of our campaign which inspired significant media and political interest.
