Of course we are going to tell you we are great. We are in public relations after all. Suffice to say the best place to get the lowdown is from the people we have worked with.
Below you will find recommendations from our clients and further down a couple of recommendations from other people the team has worked with across their careers.

Existing Clients:
“Little Red Rooster are very personable and have a deep and detailed knowledge of PR and our area of business (technology). Victoria in particular is punctual at each step of the process and is very trustworthy, consistent and reliable. Although we’d historically taken care of PR in house to a degree, we’d toyed with the idea of using a PR agency for a couple of years, but were wary of how we would track results and didn’t want to get lost in a sea of other clients. We initially chose to work with Victoria and Little Red Rooster on the launch of an eco-friendly sub brand, Proporta Smart, over an 8 week campaign because she had a great deal of knowledge within our industry and the contacts to match.
She worked seamlessly with our appointed Marketing Agency and our in house team to ensure that we got the best coverage in both offline and online press, and went above and beyond by showing enthusiasm for all our products and the different areas of our business, coming up with great ideas and suggestions for how we could branch out into all types of media. After the successful launch of Proporta Smart, which included a media tour and, as a result, a great deal of national, online and offline coverage, we took the decision to take Little Red Rooster on long term to help promote the rest of our product range and main brand. Something they’ve continued to do successfully.
As well as the above, the best example I can give on why I would recommend Little Red Rooster is an occasion, on a Friday evening, when a news story in our industry broke into the press and journalists were contacting Little Red Rooster for our comments. This was as a result of the work they’d put in with getting our company name in the mind’s of journalists and resulted in us being the first in our highly competitive industry to give comment. Victoria worked with our in house PR late into the evening to prepare a statement and distribute this to the press, and took care of any follow ups after the weekend. If it wasn’t for us having employed Victoria and Little Red Rooster, it’s highly probable that we would’ve missed this opportunity to voice our thoughts and gain coverage that followed as a result. I would recommend Victoria and Little Red Rooster to any business, large or small, as she is very experienced in her field, has a wide range of contacts that she clearly has great relationships with, goes very far to make you feel like you’re her only client and you can tell enjoys the personal challenge of making sure your company is at the top of the competition.”
Lynnette Prigmore – Head of Product

Always keen to offer an extra pair of hands or to work on a new project she is an asset to any PR agency. Able to take criticism and turn it around, a great team player who can bring that much needed energy and banter to the workplace, popular and well liked – with the right support she will go very far. Highly recommended.”
Victoria Shortt, Founder
“First and foremost I LOVE Victoria’s sense of humor. In PR and PR related work, it’s critical to be able to handle even the most stressful situations with a dash of levity. She was always able to reign me in when I was on a tear (and I’d go on those several times a month) and keep me level. As a very demanding client with high expectations I never got the feeling that she was bothered by my requests, calls or requirements. In fact, I loved both her creative and collaborative nature. Of all the money that my various organizations have spent on PR, I felt that Victoria was WELL worth the spend, and I don’t say that lightly. If I have the opportunity to hire her and her new organization in the future I will absolutely do so! She’s top-notch!
Melisa Bleasedale, Head of PR
