Media Testimonials

Paul Gallagher, health correspondent, The I

When you are bombarded with hundreds of emails and phone calls a day, the contacts from Black Letter Communications always stand out. They know exactly what makes a good national news story, who to speak to and why it fits in with the current news agenda. Whether dealing with a one-off interview or a series of articles tied to a particular case or inquiry, you feel one step ahead of the press pack due to being in close contact with their team. In a nutshell, they make my job easier which is always welcome.

Paul Andrews, news editor, SWNS

Black Letter delivers seamless news copy and clearly understands what journalists need to make a story work. Their team provides detailed briefings laying out the complex legalities behind each story, allowing our reporters to get up to speed quickly and get the job done swiftly. Working with an agency that understands the media landscape and the legal sector in equal measure is rare, and Black Letter’s approach is second to none.

Jan Miller, editor, New Law Journal

I’ve known Kerry and Neil for many years, and in that time, they’ve built Black Letter Communications into a first-class agency. They instinctively understand what journalists need from lawyers—timely access, sharp insight, and content that truly fits the news agenda. Black Letter doesn’t just send the usual press releases—they consistently offer a strong and relevant range of stories, alongside long-form articles that are always on brief, well written, and delivered to deadline. Just as importantly, they ensure their clients understand exactly what’s required, which makes the whole process smoother for everyone involved.

They’ve built a strong team of senior consultants who go the extra mile, and I know I can rely on them completely—whatever the topic or the client. They’ve never let New Law Journal down, and that reliability makes them an invaluable partner. They’re not only excellent at what they do—they’re also a real pleasure to work with.

Jenna Brown, deputy editor, Professional Advisor

We have worked with Black Letter for a number of years now and the team are great at what they do, delivering relevant, interesting and timely ideas and content that will appeal to our readership. They understand the audience well and copy is always well-written and engaging with edits very rarely needed. It is a pleasure working with them and we hope to continue doing so for a long time to come!

Melanie Tringham, features editor, FT Adviser

I have found Black Letter very helpful in organising articles for me from their legal clients. The topics are very appropriate to our readership and have been some of our best-read articles. They are delivered in a timely fashion, and Black Letter manage the whole process very well.

Kevin Mansi, associate news editor, Mirror

Black Letter’s advantage of employing former journalists means they know how to target media organisations and provide what they are looking for. They are an excellent source of strong people-led stories for us and are extremely responsive to any additional demands from the newsroom.
