Prohibition

Marketing Manager, Fentimans Ltd

We were running several projects concurrently, from a new brand launch, a trade comms project and a trade influencer campaign, that needed a different approach yet consistent messaging. Prohibition managed that balance impeccably.

I knew they were capable, having worked on a campaign with us the year previously. Once again, they excelled.

managing multiple platforms and content for us, from linkedin to traditional trade press, and working cross agency & with internal stakeholders

We worked across the team, but with a dedicated core team focussed on Fentimans

.

Weekly meetings and regular calls ensured I was always aware of the activity, and the successes that ultimately resulted.

Prohibition are a dedicated, but fun, creative collective to work with who are able to deliver tangible results.

Nope!

I'm the head of digital for a top 50 commercial law firm in the UK. We're a full-service law firm, and I'm responsible for the firm's external channels, including the website, SEO development, paid advertising, social media, and email marketing.

We needed help with social media marketing. LinkedIn is a potent tool for us. We developed a strategy and needed to create a training guide for our lawyers. We also needed it to be user-friendly and contain snippet video content to do some initial training. We needed to accompany that with a PowerPoint and short videos on how to use LinkedIn and how to use it well. I needed a team that could take that work on for me.

Prohibition has supported us with social media campaigns, including creating graphics and content. The team has also created video content and a PowerPoint presentation for internal use. Prohibition has taken a strategy document we provided and summarized it into a PowerPoint presentation to train our lawyers. The team has also created short three-minute video snippets on how to use LinkedIn, which include a voiceover.

We work with Chris, who is the managing director, and three other team members, including account managers and media executives.

Our head of PR worked with Prohibition on a project and recommended them.

We started working with Prohibition in July 2023, and our engagement is ongoing.

Prohibition's work has been excellent. The team has taken a tremendous amount of work off me, and I couldn't produce the quality they have. The campaign they did has enabled us to increase our exposure on social media channels considerably. The training materials look exceptionally well. Prohibition has put a lot of care and hard work into the project.

Prohibition has met the deadline and stayed on budget. We communicate via email and video calls. They're great to work with.

I'm impressed with Prohibition's ability to work within tight deadlines.

No.

Give Prohibition everything and ensure they understand the initial brief. Once they understand the initial brief, their creativity will bring your idea to life.

I'm the marketing manager for Feather Down Farms in the UK. We provide family-friendly glamping opportunities at working farms across the UK and Europe.

We were looking for a PR agency to work with to expand our brand awareness in the UK.

Prohibition has been working with us to increase our brand awareness and become a spokesperson in the media for glamping and family holidays. The team has proposed an overarching strategy for brand awareness.

We've been working primarily with four people, including a senior account manager and three other PR executive staff members.

We found Prohibition through a Google search. We looked at several companies, and Prohibition's proposal was the best opportunity for us.

We've spent about €46,000.

We started working together in July 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

Through the digital detox campaign, we've seen increased social media followers. We've gained about 300 new followers directly from that campaign. Regarding overall website traffic, it's hard to ascertain it specifically to PR because we have other campaigns and channels. Our organic website traffic has doubled year on year.

Prohibition constantly meets deadlines and stays on budget. The team is always happy to be in touch. We have fortnightly meetings, and they're consistent with emails. When Prohibition says they'll do something by a specific date, they get it done. We use an Excel document to track the project.

Prohibition's integrity and honesty, communication skills, and the media coverage they've found for us are impressive. Since November 2024, we've had 51 pieces of coverage, which have reached nearly 12,000,000 people.

Streamlining communication would be a slight improvement. There are several emails back and forth, and Prohibition keeps them in separate chains, meaning we get many emails.

Have clear goals and understand your brand to be able to onboard Prohibition.

Prohibition have supported the day-to-day public relations for BSB, highlighting key opportunities with press releases and digital strategies across multiple channels.

We didn't set specific KPIs, but we're always looking to see strong press uptake that matches the target publications proposed for each release, reaching large readerships. Video work has been well recieved, and is being used across all business functions applicable already. E-alerts and influencer strategies generated income and awareness through our e-commerce channel.

Always appreciate quick and precise comms from the team, always willing to support and they understand what we're looking for even if we're not specific - testament to our working relationship over the last couple of years/teams experience in the industry.

They're a bunch of friendly people who feel like a natural extension of the marketing team.

No, it's for us to make sure we're briefing in projects with plenty of time and setting clear targets - we're always safe in the knowledge that Prohibition will deliver what we want in time.

I’m the PR and communications manager for Camira Fabrics, a textile manufacturer.

We needed help with our social media strategy. We struggled with Instagram and our paid campaigns to ensure we reached the right audience and created the right content. We were active on many social media platforms, and we wanted to understand where we were going wrong and what we needed to be better at.

Prohibition did a full audit of everything we were doing on Instagram and LinkedIn. It was a strategic overview and a one-off project to give insight into what we were doing on social media. They also gave us tips and suggestions for making them work and what they could do for us.

We worked with Chris (Founder), Emily (Senior Account Manager), and Tyler (Public Relations Apprentice).

They ran a lot of webinars and seminars covering different PR topics, and I attended quite a few of those in the past. When we needed help with our social, they were at the top of our minds.

The cost was £1,500 (approximately $1,800 USD).

We started the project in April 2022, and they delivered it in June 2022. We’ll work with them again in the future.

It was more of a strategy recommendation than an activity, so we don’t track it in metrics. Overall, the internal team responded well to their work. They did a brilliant job, and everything they recommended was helpful. We will put many of the things they suggested into action. It was an excellent experience.

Project management was brilliant. They met every deadline and stayed on budget — there were no issues. We used Microsoft Teams and emails to communicate.

They were very knowledgeable, particularly in the area of social media. Also, they were accommodating and easy to work with. Prohibition did an excellent job at taking a comprehensive look at our social media activity; they were strong in that field.

No, they hit the nail on the head with everything they did for us. In general, I don’t think there was anything they could do better or improve on.

Be clear about what you want to achieve.
