“ The Performance and WH Sports teams have consistently combined to identify the best sporting partner opportunities for CopyBet and leverage maximum value from them. Their creation of engaging, creative content has both helped generate significant media coverage and raised the profile of our brand. ”

Anton Ivanov, Business Development Director, COPYBET

“ The Jeep and Ordnance Survey campaign was absolutely bang on for our brand. A great idea that was a PR-led integrated campaign that has had a genuine business impact. ”

We've had the pleasure of collaborating on various initiatives, all of which have delivered results that surpassed our expectations. I strongly recommend them to companies aiming to boost their brand and identity rapidly. ”

Junaid Bukhari, Marketing Director, MG Motor Middle East

“ Quite simply, I not only looked to them for their wise counsel, but they were truly an extension of my team, and their support over the many years together was invaluable. ”

Anna Angelini, Former Head of Press & Public Relations, Maserati & Alfa Romeo

“ Performance Communications has become a trusted partner for British Racing’s Horse Welfare Board team. For the sport’s inaugural Thoroughbred Census they played a central role in project co-ordination, industry stakeholder engagement, and the generation of creative assets and media coverage. ”

James Dimmock, Social Media & Influencer Manager, MICHELIN

Neil Reeve, Manager, Product Comms, NISSAN EUROPE

“ We first worked with Performance for the Dubai debut of SailGP and, when it was clear we were returning for a second year, we didn't hesitate for who we would work with again. Performance Comms' knowledge of the market, key stakeholders and the media, as well as how quickly they got up to speed with our brand, was impressive. And, working with them on the ground at the Dubai Sail Grand Prix really felt like we were just working with an extension of our team. Every client’s agency dream! ”

Sacha Kemp, Communications Director, SAILGP

“ La Dolce Vita Guide was more than just a campaign. It creatively cemented the brand’s reason for being. Performance didn’t just do a good job launching it, they did a GREAT job. ”
