Zude P R

Fab blog posts, maestro. Really enjoy your weekly four (too)! Appreciated. CT

I have a small business and was interested in finding out more about how I could market one of our products more effectively. Dave clearly has a thorough knowledge of marketing and PR, in particular, digital marketing which was my main interest. The advice Dave gave was excellent, he's clearly a very easy guy to work with and genuinely wants to help you succeed. Would highly recommend.

I worked alongside David for several years at Weber Shandwick, where we collaborated jointly on several projects providing complementary services to clients. David's practical and knowledgeable approach is based on a background of excellent skills and experience, and an objective-based methodology. David operates in a very genuine, down-to-earth manner which makes him a super leader of teams and working partner. I really enjoyed working with him and his arsenal of awards and great client results is further proof of his skills.

Dave is a 'does what it says on the tin' kind of PR guy - results driven, tenacious and always on the positive.
He's a hard worker but also know also when to kick back. I've got great memories working with Dave on PR campaigns big and small.
All in all, Dave is a true professional with an eye for detail and always on the bigger picture!

David is great to to work with and highly professional. I have provided photographic services to him and his colleagues both at his present job and previous ones. Events are always meticulously planned and discussed in advance to ensure the smooth running of the job and to maximise the coverage from it. I have found David to be open to ideas and to have great skill in making sure the results fit with the brand image. A pleasure to work with.

I used to work with David when we were both starting out in PR. He's a generous and supportive colleague with a keen understanding of media and public relations. In the time I worked with him, he developed a range of creative strategies to gain coverage and brand recognition for campaigns as diverse as Scottish raspberries to science centres. He's also great fun to work with.

David's drive and tenacity set him head and shoulders above most business people. When you're eating breakfast, David is already at his desk, focussed on the task in hand and reliably producing results for clients day after day. His single-mindedness is directed with brutal efficiency at any task, from rolling up his sleeves to pen a press release or produce the contact report which becomes a reference work for months, right through to his personal goal of a sub-3 marathon. Personable and confident, David imbues meetings with authority and is rarely lost for words. As an employee, I saw the other

I encouraged David to follow a career in PR, headhunting him from a Scottish news agency to join Prospect PR in Dundee several years ago. I later encouraged him to apply for a role at Weber Shandwick, where he appears to have grown, flourished and gone on to lead in a senior capacity, before setting up his own consultancy business. David has also struck me as a very focused individual who combines excellent journalistic abilities with award-winning PR skills - the very best kind of PR in my mind!

David is a superb communications operator with world class skills in giving clients the right solutions at the right time to meet and surmount the issues and obstacles they are facing. He's a rare breed. Great at ideas and delivery when times are good but brilliant when the road gets a little rough

Dave is conscientious and his experience-based, communications advice has helped many businesses achieve their strategic objectives. Dave represented a contractor employed on a Sanctuary site and it was reassuring to know that any PR on which we agreed his client should lead would be professional, mutually beneficial and hit the mark with the audiences targeted. I would recommend Zude PR to anyone needing an award-winning public relations service.

I don't believe I have come across someone so dedicated to the client as David. I learnt PR from him and (I think) I took his good habits into my career in communications. He uses his experience to its best advantage and finds niches to exploit that would not always be obvious to others. The times I have worked with him since I always knew that he had my back.
