I have always found Sharon Mason to be a pleasure to work with. She is highly knowledgeable about both her clients and the area in which she works. As a busy editor I could always trust Sharon to contact me about people and information that were truly relevant to my needs and worth following up...

Debi O'Donovan

Editorial Director, Reward & Employee Benefits Media

Sharon has an ideal blend of intellect, focus, tenacity and creativity. I have always been impressed with the results of her campaigns and recommend her unreservedly.

Tony Shepherd

Vice President of Sales, EMEA at Blackboard

Sharon combines creativity with pragmatism. She's commercial, takes time to get to know her clients' businesses and is expert at developing messages that resonate with their clients. As such she is excellent at getting results.

Paul Gurney

Sharon and her team got to grips with our company and markets very quickly, they have helped us to refine our propositions and understand how to communicate them to our different audiences. Their work has led to a lot more enquiries and they’re a great support to our business.

Christine Husbands

Commercial Director, RedArc Nurses

Sharon provides professionally edited content to deadline. The articles are always well targeted to the HR and occupational health audiences and I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Noel O'Reilly

Senior editor, XpertHR & Personnel Today

We saw a difference in our PR within the first month of appointing SMUK Marketing and PR. I am impressed with their commitment and drive, as well as the results and added value we have already seen. I have worked with a number of PRs over the years - it’s great to find one that delivers on their promises

Marco Forato

SVP, Global Growth Strategy Unum Group, re PR for GRiD

I worked with Sharon Mason and the SMUK team on a large corporate project. She successfully brought a very diverse set of partners together and encouraged them to work efficiently. Sharon took ownership of the project, handled all aspects of marketing and PR, and delivered a fantastic result. Suffice to say that all parties involved would be happy and keen to work with Sharon again. She did an excellent job in difficult circumstances and never once appeared phased by the various challenges thrown at her.

Ben Black

Investor and Adviser

As an acquisitive company, PR helped us raise awareness of our brand, our values and our propositions, and this was an important contribution to our successful sale for Jelf Employee Benefits.

Glenn Thomas

Sharon has an excellent understanding of group risk and capitalises on every opportunity to promote these benefits. She works tirelessly to create openings, to gain maximum value out of research, articles and press releases and she generates original and fresh ideas in order to do this. It is a real pleasure to work with such a highly motivated and effective PR.

Katharine Moxham

Spokesperson, GRiD

The work Sharon did as Marketing Director for Momentum was ahead of her time. Companies now are still playing catch up. There’s no doubt that the work she did added significant value to the company. Her thinking is strategic but she also implements.

Paul Johnston

Thank you for opening up so many opportunities for us.
