Lisa Johnson, Event Manager on behalf of North Sea Marine Cluster (March 2016)
“We have been very impressed with the service received from CMS for marketing our event. The advert was turned around very quickly and the service very professional, including receipt of advertising statistics a couple of weeks after the mailing. The traffic received on our event webpage was clear to see via Eventbrite analytics. Would definitely recommend.”

“Your email blasts proved to be one of our most effective marketing tools.”
Francesca Moore, Black & Veatch Ltd (February 2016)

Colin Trundle, Cornwall IFCA (October 2015)

Jane Delany, Newcastle University (September 2015)

Mike Hardy, Northumberland IFCA (July 2015)

“We have used the CMS advertising service on numerous occasions to advertise job vacancies in our Marine team. Jobs are advertised promptly and we always receive a great response rate.

Ruth Hynes, Network Manager CIRIA (2nd February 2015)
“Working with CMS enabled us to reach highly relevant and senior professionals when promoting a call for papers for the European Marine Sand and Gravel Group conference. The process was simple and quick with excellent customer service and the outcome was highly successful with a number of our chosen conference papers coming through CMS. I would recommend CMS and will be using their Marketing services for future promotion.”

Caroline Salthouse, North West Coastal Forum
“With regard to the recently advertised ‘Regional Coastal Project Assistant’ job, we had10 applicants who cited CMS as where they saw it advertised (out of 97 applications received). This may not be a huge proportion but they seem to be the ones with the more relevant experience and qualifications so definitely worthwhile advertising with you.”
Dr Ian Gloyne-Phillips, Centre for Marine & Coastal Studies
“We have had an excellent response to our Marine Biologists job advert. What is noticeable compared to previous occasions, when we have used national press/magazines, is that there are a much higher percentage of high calibre applications meeting the job criteria, so we have clearly been successful in reaching the target audience.”
Caroline Barraclough, Sales and Sponsorship Spearhead Exhibitions Ltd
“We have had a fantastic response to the email you sent out for us. So much so that we would like to send another one which may find us some more delegates.” Spearhead had to go on to use a room to accommodate 200 delegates, twice the number originally anticipated.
Robert Morgan, Glamorgan University
“Since you circulated information about my MSc Coastal Conservation & Management course this morning, I have already had 34 enquiries! That is more than four times as many as were generated last year by an advert in the Guardian which cost almost £1,000. I think I might ask you to do this again!” This illustrates how effective this Service can be – four times the response at a 10th of the cost of a normal advert
