“Thinking out-of-the-box is what makes them excel”

Before I started working with SAROTA PR, MMD (Philips) and SAROTA PR had already been connected with each other for a few years, with very positive growing results in our PR clipping, review status and market share. We have expanded our cooperation by including an additional brand AOC which generated even more opportunities. On top of the professional and committed approach of SAROTA PR team, they have always been fair in their feedback when choosing the right monitor for review and selecting a successful PR event. This has established for me a trustworthy relationship between SAROTA PR and our company.

Having the experience with other PR agencies within Europe, I can safely say that SAROTA PR is the most pro-active. Thinking out-of-the-box is what makes them excel. This all has highly contributed AOC and MMD to grow their share in market becoming leading monitor brands in Poland.

“Exceptional performance no matter the task”

SAROTA PR always delivers exceptional performance no matter the task. I always felt like I’m working with a colleague sitting next desk who, while being friendly was at the same time always up to date with company news and products, responsive and just pure professional. Our results in Poland have improved greatly since we’ve began working with SAROTA PR and they are only growing thanks to their hard work on introducing ZALMAN products to the Polish market.

Each introduced product was always recognized by the most important media, increasing our brand awareness among key target – computer and technology enthusiasts. SAROTA PR makes it clear they specialize in the IT sector. And they mean it.
