KC Communications creates a monthly report that helps to monitor the impact of their work - in my case, PR activity alone. Through the reporting of data and, more importantly, the analysis of that data, they pointed out that whilst traffic to my independently-created website was increasing (because of the PR activity), the bounce rate was high.

This highlighted a risk to the return on investment from PR activity. Because of this insight we were able to redirect their activity to refining my branding, messaging and website structure, before resuming focused PR activity.

As a client I feel reassured that KC Communications is invested in my long-term success and not activity for activity’s sake!
