Past and present client views:
“David is an excellent PR and media consultant who really understands the financial trade and mainstream press. Since Annuity Direct started working with David we have had the kind of press coverage you could normally only dream about. Although it is sometimes difficult to measure the increase in business and name awareness we have received from the press, I am convinced that David played a major part in helping to build the profile of Annuity Direct nationally. On a more personal note, I have been very impressed with the commitment shown by David and his team in helping me build my profile in the trade press.”
Top qualities: Expert, Good Value, High Integrity
- Katherine Oxenham, Chartered Financial Planner, Annuity Direct
“David brings hard won expertise and experience as a respected national journalist together with a delightful and relaxed personality. Not only has David delivered excellent results it has always been a pleasure to work with him. Jim Boyd, Director of Corporate Affairs, Partnership”
- Jim Boyd, Director of Corporate Affairs, Partnership
“Working with David and his team has been real pleasure. Without their guidance and enthusiasm we would not have been able to launch our first fully online direct to consumer annuity portal so publicly. Support was provided in placement, editorials and organisation of the press event. During this launch we ‘outgunned’ the large insurers, which really showed how David knew how to place and highlight our service.”
- Stuart Grennan, Director of Private Clients, Gallagher Employee Benefits
“DAM PR provides a first class media service for us in a thoroughly professional manner.”
- Shane O’Neill, UK Marketing Director, Bloxham Stockbrokers

A true expert at providing robust strategic counsel and delivering national coverage for brands, I very much enjoyed working with him and learnt much from his incisive approach”
- James West, Account Director, The Bright Consultancy
“I have worked with David over the last two years and have nothing but praise for him and his team. He is very experienced, dedicated, well connected and gets great results. DAM offers clients something many other PR companies can’t – fantastic results at boutique agency prices. I would highly recommend David Andrews for any Financial PR activity.”
- Alan O’Brien, CEO, Sabien Technology
“We have worked with David and his excellent team for several years and have been delighted with the extensive exposure they have secured for us in the key quality national newspapers.”
- Rob Pemberton, Investment Director, HFM Columbus
“DAM PR has acted for Moneyspider.com since 2007. Over the years David and his team at DAM PR have driven our pr, we have received exceptional volumes of coverage across major national news titles, including substantial features in the Financial Times, Sunday Times, The Times and the Daily and Sunday Telegraph. In a competitive investment media environment, DAM PR has proved itself able to deliver a first class media service with concrete results on a modest budget. Unlike many of the major metropolitan pr firms, with their high entry level fees and promises, DAM PR produces forensically researched and well written press releases which get tremendous results. For example, DAM PR recently secured a full page article which led the Sunday Telegraph Money section – a full page colour advertisement in this publication costs in the region of £55,000 – but DAM PR delivered the equivalent and far more effective editorial coverage as part of its ongoing retainer. We have always enjoyed working with DAM PR, a highly professional, front line pr consultancy.”
- Phil Revell, Moneyspider.com
