Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Their primary focus was to help us increase brand awareness and build out our thought leadership program. In just the first quarter of our partnership, they played a pivotal role in increasing our share of voice among key competitors from 2.1% to 20.9%—a testament to their strategic expertise and execution.

From day one, the Tier One team demonstrated exceptional organization, efficiency, and accountability. Their proactive approach ensured that progress continued between meetings, and they even helped keep me accountable amidst my many competing priorities. They consistently went above and beyond, making my life easier while delivering outstanding results.

What set Tier One apart was their ability to act as a true strategic partner. I wasn’t looking for an agency that simply pushed out press releases and pitches—I needed a team that could quickly understand the complexities of our organization and bridge the gap between the stories we wanted to tell and those that the media found compelling. That’s exactly what Tier One delivered.

For anyone considering working with Tier One, I can confidently say that you would not regret the decision. The strategic thinking and thoughtfulness we experienced during the proposal process were only amplified once we became a client. They were genuinely invested in our success and brought an unmatched level of dedication and expertise to their work.

Excellent projext management and excellent communication on all the moving pieces. Everything delievered on time. Their client service is unmatched among other agencies I've worked with, both PR and digital.

What was your primary form of communication with Tier One Partners?

Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their focus on client success and the overall client experience. Tier One said during the interview process that they aimed to act like an exstenstion of our team and they did just that.

I also loved their creative thinking when it came to messaging and positioning which is one of the top things that set them apart from other agencies we interviewed with.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Tier One Partners could have done differently?

And because they came to understand our business, our vision, and our long-term goals so well, they were able to make suggestions and surface creative ideas and opportunities that went beyond your bread-and-butter PR.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Tier One Partners could have done differently?

Social media design could be strengthened.
