“We cannot thank the Team at EAST VILLAGE. enough for their hard work and support with the Longbridge Shopping social media accounts and ongoing events. With their support we have hosted some fabulous events in the town centre and we look forward to further successes in the future. We would have no hesitation in recommending EAST VILLAGE., as they bring their positivity and enthusiasm into everything they do.”

“EAST VILLAGE. are one of the best agencies that I have had the pleasure to work with. They are great at being creative and proactive, and use very clever and subtle tone of message to targeted audiences. They will deliver a brief yet add value by creating even more exposure on social media channels with their attention to detail and partnership approach to client relationships. I highly recommend them.”

“Hattie, Tara and the EV. team really pulled out all the stops for the opening of our first Birmingham bar. They found the perfect balance between strategic account management and hands-on ‘doing’, and no task was too small for them to roll their sleeves up when our small team felt stretched. We were able to rely upon their considerable expertise and experience to create a memorable and successful opening that felt distinctly Vagabond and distinctly Birmingham.”

“Working with EAST VILLAGE. has been an absolute dream! They have done so much to help us tell our story and grow as a business. Whether speaking with new clients or partners, we regularly hear the phrase ‘I see you guys everywhere’ and a big part of this is due to the fantastic work of the EV team. They are always there when we need them and constantly impress us with the work that they produce, whether we are looking to announce the launch of a new product or share news on impact that we’ve created, they always know how to make it happen!”

“Rating EAST VILLAGE out of 5 stars, I’d give them 10. They are such a passionate team and an absolute joy to work with. I work closely with Hattie who goes above and beyond to get me and my company some amazing opportunities. Last year I was featured in a national publication for about 5 weeks running and just before that she helped me secure a spot on the Financial Times podcast to speak about my business. I could write reams and reams about how great Tara, Hattie and the team are but take my word for it – PR with personality AND passion – work with them to grow your business, you won’t regret it.”

The team engage closely with several stakeholders across our company disciplines and provide exceptional quality work, be it across our social media channels or public relations, all whilst retaining a fun and energetic style that fits brilliantly with our business and its values. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tara and the team to anyone who is considering engaging their services!”

“The coverage and outreach that EAST VILLAGE. has achieved in their first year representing us has been outstanding. Our account manager Hattie and her team have a thorough understanding of our core values and objectives which they use to create thoughtful and interesting content. Our audience numbers have increased hugely since working with EAST VILLAGE. with consistent press coverage and hundreds of thousands of social media impressions. During a year when access to mental health services has been especially crucial, EAST VILLAGE. have stepped up to ensure our message has been communicated broadly and clearly.”
