Side B — How we work
The full band
01
Press office
Day-to-day media relations across consumer, trade and audiophile titles, including the awkward enquiry on a Friday afternoon.
Heard on: Shure · L-Acoustics · Bluesound02
Launch & review
Embargoes, review units and the long tail of reviews that keeps a product selling for two years, not two weeks.
Heard on: Technics · PSB Speakers · NAD03
Partnerships
Collaborations with design houses, drinks brands, venues and artists, matched on values rather than reach.
Heard on: Technics · Mastercard · Metropolis Studios04
Creators
Long-standing relationships with the reviewers and YouTubers who sit between a spec sheet and a purchase, at every size from 5k to 5m followers.
Heard on: Shure · Technics05
Events & shows
Press days, listening sessions, press trips and briefings on show stands, run end to end.
Heard on: Bluesound · Shure · DAACI06
Measurement
A monthly report on volume, reach, sentiment and share of voice, with an honest reading of what it means for the next quarter.
