Philips Semiconductors/MIPS

“I have had the privilege of working with Nigel at various times since I first met him in 1993 when his consultancy became PR agency of record for Philips Semiconductors. In my view, Nigel is one of the leading high technology PR consultants in the world today.

He has strong abilities in all key areas of business-to-business PR:

- A network of editorial and analyst contacts second to none, and he enjoys strong relationships with all of them. They know they can trust Nigel to deliver factual and relevant information that fits with their news and communication strategies.

- Strong strategic and tactical planning skills. Nigel has the ability to help plan long-range campaigns and then keep up a consistent drive to shape stories and deliver materials over time. This is a unique skill that I have not seen often. An important element of this is his ability to effectively help management craft a viable long-term story line that both supports and strengthens company positioning.

- Great teamwork skills. Nigel is very collegial and giving of his knowledge. Because of this, he works well with all levels of the organization and is a great teacher.

- Excellent understanding of technology, technology trends, and market development. Nigel knows how to explain a product or service and position its value within the market landscape -- no one does it better. This is a large part of the reason why editors and analysts trust him. He is very astute at working with engineering and marketing to find the key features and functions and can craft benefit statements that are meaningful for the key audiences.” October 2, 2008 Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, High Integrity Melissa J.

IT-Map

"We were already using a UK Public Relations firm who claimed expertise in the high tech sector. After their 'start-up' budget was exhausted, all they had produced was a press kit. I met up with Vortex PR through Tally Systems, who we were working with. Tally asked me if I could help them at a Press meeting that Vortex had arranged. I had a first hand opportunity to watch Nigel Robson in action and immediately understood how little our own PR agency were actually doing for us. In fact, we were simply paying a monthly retainer for nothing. After Vortex PR came on board, our Press exposure went screaming up. Nigel immediately arranged product reviews with several IT journals, as well as free CDROM coverage on all leading UK PC publications.” Tim Hayes, President, IT-Map International
