PRgloo has given local authority comms teams the tools they need to keep communicating throughout lockdown, no matter where their PR teams are located.
Pressure
Local authority comms professionals have been under enormous pressure communicating throughout the myriad of lockdowns and tiered restrictions that 2020 has thrown their way.
And at PRgloo we know how important it is to help PR teams track their communications activity and issue timely communication updates to residents and businesses.
Support from PRgloo's Software and Team
Thankfully our system has supported local authority comms teams working remotely, allowing them to continue working and delivering timely communications throughout the various lockdowns.
Over the past 9 months our local authority clients have sent over 7,000 press release updates to help their local area stay informed on all aspects of Covid, including health advice, accessing food banks, social care services, bin collection information, school openings, greener transport options, parking changes and financial help to name a few!
And those same teams have been using PRgloo to manage media enquiries, social media publication, influencer engagement and tracking their coverage.
East Sussex Council
“We switched to PRgloo because we needed a platform that was reliable, intuitive and easy to use, and we haven’t been disappointed.
“PRgloo enables us to do this and to send out press releases easily, quickly and efficiently, helping us to provide the best possible service to the media. Having a centrally maintained database of media contacts from around the country, as well as being able to add our own media contacts, is particularly helpful.” Tim Fletcher, Press Officer
North East Lincolnshire Council
“Since signing up to PRgloo, the communications team here at North East Lincolnshire Council have found the services top class in terms of not only the cost and quality of the products, but also being both reactive and responsive to requests.
“We’ve also been impressed about how PRgloo quickly takes on feedback from customers to improve the product for everyone, not just that particular client. We’ve been very satisfied so far and look forward to continuing to work with PRgloo going forward.’’ Iain Lovell, Head of Communications
Fife Council
“Over the years we have had a variety of media management systems which have met some of our needs but PRgloo meets all of our needs.
“It is a comprehensive system with everything we need in one place. I love the fact that all our stats are in one place and I can quickly and easily search for any results from how many enquiries we had last week to how much coverage we got in total last year. The system does everything we need it to do, it is easy to use, intuitive and it looks good too!
“The system alone is very good but the personalised service we have had from the team is what really makes it exceptional.” Gail Stepo, Communications Officer
