Testimonials
“Siobhan achieved the most astonishing results in an incredibly short period of time. She joined the team to promote Seeds of Hope, a film about rape in the Democratic Republic of Congo right at the last minute, as it was being premiered at the London Summit hosted by Foreign Secretary William Hague and Angelina Jolie. She managed to create an international buzz across broadcast, print and internet media in only a few days. This is a tough subject to persuade editors to take on and a very tough film to watch. Her skill and hard work enabled an important subject was brought to an entirely new audience which continues to grow. I am immensely grateful to her for all her expertise and energy. I would welcome any opportunity to work with her again.”

“Siobhan is highly professional, well connected and delivered fantastic media coverage for a major event that PTA-UK organised in June 2014. She is charming to work with, very focused on results, and was a real asset to our communications team on a consultancy/project basis.”
Roger Swift

“I have both worked alongside Siobhan whilst at Taylor Herring and since then have employed her as a consultant on a number of projects. She is one of the hardest working and most capable consultants I have ever worked with and is fantastic with both talent and brands. Siobhan is about getting the all important results and is organised, focused and extremely experienced. She has the contacts, the creativity and is completely reliable.”

“We are really pleased with the amount of positive coverage Connor PR delivered around Sooty’s 65th Birthday. Siobhan Connor, MD of Connor PR is an exceptional communicator, highly energetic and determined in her pursuit of media coverage and of course thoroughly enjoyable to work with.”
Richard Cadell
TV presenter and the hand of Sooty
“I was absolutely blown away by what Siobhan and her team achieved for my book – Managing MIL. With a background in journalism and some good contacts myself, I thought I could handle my own publicity – how wrong I was. The difference between the few ‘hits’ that I was able to achieve, going solo and the absolute storm of publicity that Siobhan managed to unleash was nothing short of a miracle. My book is to feature in nearly every national newspaper – not only as a mentions or small reviews but as big, double-page feature articles, Q&As, first person pieces from me as author. Siobhan grasped the concept immediately and knew exactly the right people to speak to. She produced a tailor-made campaign, in different phases (press, radio, tv) which she continually updated, chasing new leads all the time. I would sing her praises with my last breath!”

“If you could write your ideal description of what you would expect from a PR agency that you hire, then Siobhan would embody that! She has a clear understanding of the brief and the expectations of the client and then works tirelessly with her team to ensure she delivers and more often than not, over delivers. Her creative and positive approach ensure that she already has new ideas and recommendations when plans change or there are setbacks. She is a great communicator, taking care to ensure we are always kept up to date with campaign progress and is clearly well liked and respected by journalists.”
Helen Gunter
Head of Communications, TK Maxx, HomeSense
“In November 2010, HBO released The Pacific TV show on DVD and we wanted a launch party that would really stand out and set HBO apart. Siobhan planned an incredible launch party on the HMS Belfast that included a press junket in the day time and a 1940s themed event in the evening. Siobhan’s planning was exemplary, her calm approach filled us with confidence and she delivered an outstanding event that many of our retailers and journalists said was the best entertainment event they had been to all year. Needless to say, I would highly recommend Siobhan and personally, I can’t wait to work on the next project with her!”
Ian Fullerton
Marketing Director, HBO
“I’ve worked with Siobhan on a number of occasions and each time she has brought an impressive enthusiasm and range of creative ideas to the table. All expectations are regularly exceeded and the level of client service is always appropriate to our needs. She directed a team in support of the TK Maxx Comic Relief campaign in 2009 and helped ensure we sold out of Stella McCartney designed t-shirts to raise £3.2 million for the cause, through show-stopping events that not only generated great coverage but engaged our customer base in stores across the country. I would happily recommend Siobhan for future roles across the spectrum of consumer PR specialist areas.”

“Awesome coverage. Really outstanding! Today was a smashing success. Thanks much to you and your colleagues for all your efforts on Current’s behalf.”
Joel Hyatt

“I wanted to say a big thank you for all your and your teams’ hard work yesterday, particularly in managing our pap run and getting all the fabulous coverage today. We’ve had fantastic editorial references, great pic positioning and in areas of media we normally wouldn’t get access to. Overall the pre-event and event coverage for this year’s awards has been unprecedented and should be a great platform for going forward with next years LAFTAS. And of course quite rightly both myself and Aimi have had a good laff working with all your team!”
