“We had a great experience there – back to back meetings, some great leads, good reception. But also we found it energizing; we felt like we reconnected to the industry in a strong way.

And a large part of that was you and the team. Not just in the PR results, but we felt like you ‘got us’ and supported us. So a big thank you for that.” – The British Museum
