LUXURY AND LIFESTYLE

I have been working with Spotl1ght for more than a decade now, and have found the team not only thoroughly professional and efficient but also very warm and fun to work with—qualities whose importance I cannot emphasise enough.

Spotl1ght is unique in that it is not only 100% efficient when it comes to reaction, but it is also amazingly out of the box when it comes to creative pro-action.

The Spotl1ght team is highly professional and efficient – some of my best stories have been thanks to their creative ideas. It is always a pleasure to work with the team, they organise wonderful itineraries for both their client press trips and also for ILTM.

As truly global publications distributed in over 170 countries, we rely on timely and targeted information as well as on PR agencies who understand our needs. Spotl1ght delivers exactly that: pro-actively and always spot-on.

The guidance and support that Spotl1ght has provided has been immensely valuable to our organisation, especially around navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring we get our messages into the market and remain top of mind and creating awareness for Mantis. We have seen the direct impact of the editorial coverage achieved in our target regions resulting in direct enquires, reservations for our properties and increased referral website traffic which confirms how effective Spotl1ght has been on the business and in supporting our strategic objectives.

In the face of much competition, Spotl1ght Communications continues to shine the spotlight on Kudadoo Private Island Maldives as one of the most talked about luxury resorts in the Maldives. It is a pleasure to work with the team and their impressive network of professional contacts to reach our target customers and industry partners with such ongoing success.

To support the relaunch of The Dilly London as an independent hotel, we appointed Spotl1ght with an integrated brief of trade and consumer press relations. The speed, enthusiasm, creativity and attention to detail that Spotl1ght put into everything they do is evidenced in the amount and quality of the press coverage they have generated for The Dilly. Since we opened in May 2021, the team’s wider sales and marketing strategic guidance and their ability to pivot in the face of the year’s many challenges has been invaluable. As we continue to strengthen our relationship, we now have extended their remit to include social media influencers relations.

Spotl1ght Communications has been a true partner to Borgo Santo Pietro since July 2017. Their media contacts have helped our business internationally and their knowledge of the luxury travel sector in almost every relevant country has meant we have achieved a great amount of global awareness for Satori our yacht. And maintained the awareness of Borgo Santo Pietro.

SPOTL1GHT has been an integral component of the ILTM team for over 10 years. Their contribution to our overall strategy is critical to us, but testament to their real value is the ongoing enthusiasm from the top journalists from across the world that they secure to attend each ILTM event, year after year.

In working with the Spotl1ght team for nearly 5 years, they have consistently expanded our media coverage and relationships with key press contacts and publications. Through our bi-weekly collaborative sessions, and near daily email communications, the team consistently delivers new angles or ideas in how to insert Cvent into the conversation and elevate our brand. Everyone on the Spotl1ght team is ready and willing to take on new strategic initiatives and they never shy away from a challenge. They are responsive, supportive, and always on top of what’s next. Spotl1ght’s deep industry expertise and broad media contacts have played a critical part in our ability to drive impactful media placements across the UK and Europe. Each and every member of the Spotl1ght team is a true joy to work with and we absolutely consider them an extension of our team.

I couldn’t wish to have had a more informed PR agency. Their understanding of the tourism and meetings industry plus their vast number of contacts helped the Reed exhibitions meetings industry portfolio of international events move forward significantly faster than if we had gone it alone. More than just an agency, they were an invaluable part of our business and product development team.

Spotl1ght (formerly CUT Commu-nications) recently launched an association and meetings portal for my company and I have been amazed by the results. My company is based in the US and serves a global marketplace and I cannot think of anyone or any other firm I would trust my launch to than Nina Gardiner and her team.

I’ve worked quite closely with Spotl1ght for a number of years now and they are always very helpful. They keep me up to date with their clients’ news, they’re always suggesting great content contributions from their clients and they are very quick to respond to requests. Their help has been very much appreciated during busy times and when I’m working to a tight deadline.
