“We develop integrated and innovative strategies using inspired brand storytelling to build a brand’s reputation, from the press office to award-winning creative campaigns.”
The challenge
BLOXHAM’s PR team has been dedicating their time in the last 12 months to communication activities that bring increased brand awareness to their clients. This includes projects that boost the share of voice, working closely with journalists and growing outreach efforts to gain more coverage in publications, and using digital expertise to help clients achieve better social engagement and connect with their audience.
The solution
Since starting out with Roxhill’s PR software, BLOXHAM has been able to expand on their already extensive network of press, influencers and key contacts through the app. The always up-to-date journalist profiles and briefing documents were incredibly helpful when the team prepared for a press release. Roxhill enabled BLOXHAM to tailor pitches specifically to each journalist and outlet, building and nurturing a more personal relationship with the media. The team members also used the client-exclusive pitching sessions and events valuable for their overall PR strategy.
We asked Joanna Peach, Account Manager at BLOXHAM what sets Roxhill apart.
The most valuable features we want to highlight are Roxhill’s user-friendly system, the breadth and width of data available, and the in-depth journalists and outlet information, including social media feeds, which were all really straightforward.
Joining Roxhill enabled us to reduce research time and was incredibly helpful in creating more relevant relationships with journalists. As clients, we also benefit from content, such as the pitching guides that are filled with insider tips and exclusive PR opportunities in the form of both in-person and virtual pitching events, Q&A sessions and networking get-togethers.
The campaign
BLOXHAM worked with Fairfax & Favor to launch the brands 2023 Autumn Winter collection and the campaign was a huge success.
This launch encompassed the brands’ 10-year anniversary, their highly anticipated outerwear line and their award-winning Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaign raising vital funds for Breast Cancer Now.
BLOXHAM arranged an exclusive press event in the brands hometown of Norfolk, executed press, VIP, and influencer seeding to build brand awareness and sent out a variety of press releases and targeted pitches to all relevant fashion and country lifestyle press.
The results
The campaign earned BLOXHAM’s client 185 pieces of coverage across titles, including The Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, Hello! Fashion Monthly, GQ and more, including backlinks to their site and e-shop. But more importantly, Fairfax & Favor were able to raise funds for the Breast Cancer Now charity, supporting people who are affected by breast cancer.
