If there was a zero star option they'd get that.
Paid for 3 months of PR.. received no news articles, no press coverage and tbh these people strike me as arrogant chancers. I have worked with external PR agencies before and achieved great success! These people have delivered nothing and decided to childishly suspend my account when I called them out on it. Petty, unprofessional and over state their abilities. Use a traditional PR person or agency and you'll get the results you pay for.

Unfortunately when you choose to complain they gaslight you. As you can see from the reply to my review. It's pointless to pay for a service with zero results! As a small business we trusted these people and feel both conned and mislead.
I hope this review and their subsequent comment is proof enough. I complained about the service, they deleted my account with no consent. There is absolutely zero justification for male business owners to take advantage of female customers. Even less justification for trying to blame the female business owner.

Dear Natalie,

Thank you for your feedback regarding Alt Space Events.

As communicated earlier, we made the decision to close your account as we no longer felt comfortable representing your business. Since then, you have contacted us several times requesting reinstatement. However, we must reiterate that this decision is final, and we will not be reversing it.

Over the two months we worked together, during which you paid £298 (2 x £149), we dedicated significant effort to promoting your events. Our team prepared 15 press releases and made 152 targeted pitches to reputable contacts in the news, events, and LGBT sectors, resulting in interest from notable outlets such as QX and Fab UK.

Unfortunately, the abrupt cancellation of these events—often at the last minute—reflected poorly on both your brand and ours. Additionally, we later discovered that some events were being marketed before contracts were signed or talent was confirmed (including cases requiring visas). These practices raised significant concerns and are not aligned with our values or professional standards.

We also noted ongoing legal disputes with other suppliers, which further contributed to our decision to part ways.

At No Strings Public Relations, we pride ourselves on maintaining strong relationships with journalists and only representing brands that uphold the same professional integrity. While we wish you well in your future endeavours, we cannot continue working with accounts that compromise our reputation or ethical standards.

We will be refining our due diligence process for event companies moving forward.

Best regards,

No Strings Public Relations

The team has been wonderful!

The team of Unlockd PR has been wonderful and have been with them for over a year. A delightful experience and such a great turn away from what I would call your “conventional” PR firms … don’t waste your time with those, but instead work with those that see things in new ways and do things differently and can work in new ways… just like Unlockd PR!

I'm genuinely thrilled!

I'm genuinely thrilled and honoured to have my expert comment featured in Yahoo Life. It's a testament to the hard work and dedication I've put into my field, and it's rewarding to see that my insights are valued and recognised by a prominent platform. Sharing my knowledge with a wider audience and contributing to meaningful conversations is what I strive for, and this feature on hangovers and anxiety is was a joy to take part in. I'm grateful for the opportunity that UnlockedPR have provided, and I hope my comment brings value and perspective to the readers.

One day in - I've been published in Marie Claire, The Express, The Star and more

Just days into working with these guys I've been published in Marie Claire, The Express, The Star and more! They are so lovely to deal with - very personable approach which is often lacking in PR agency world. Really excited to continue working with this great team - a true shining star in the market with a unique and affordable offering. I could not recommend them enough to smaller businesses ad thought leaders in niche markets and beyond.

Taken money without consent!!

I used this company who initially did get some press work, it was short lived therefore I decided to suspend my account!

Today they have restarted my subscription without prior consent and taken monies from an old bank account without discussing the restart first.

Upon contacting they company they have been very unhelpful and also very unprofessional with regards to the matter so much so I am having to go via trading standards and my bank to get my money back.

I never review companies but I feel I need to warn others of this company and will be doing so on platform!

Hey Terri-Ann,

Sorry to see this review. It does not reflect our experience of this encounter.

We worked together for several months and bagged you several articles, including a full Sun article all about you.

You struggled to engage with us so the team here pitched content for you.

Your comments to us upon securing you press included "yes!! Amazing shared it on my socials yesterday" (21st February 2023) and "fantastic" (13th March 23).

On 4th April, you emailed us "Please can I suspend my account I will come back but need a pause at the moment...Just for two months and will review".

As a subscription model, subscribers can cancel or pause whenever they like.

We replied: "No problem - it will pause on 16th April for you and start up on 16th June. Reach out if you want to change that date at anytime."

On 16th June, your subscription renewed but the payment failed due to insufficient funds. You received an automated email to let you know.

On 17th June, your payment failed again due to insufficient funds. You received an automated email to let you know.

On 18th June, your payment failed again due to insufficient funds. You received an automated email to let you know.

On 19th June, your payment failed again due to insufficient funds. You received an automated email to let you know.

On 20 June (this morning), your payment went through and we began work on your account again.

We then received a series of curt emails from you demanding a refund. We replied explaining that as per your email, the account came off of pause on 16th June and now that the payment has gone through we couldn't issue a refund but would happily give you a credit for when you were ready.

We also explained that at any point between 16th and 20th June we could have happily voided the invoice and extended the pause or cancelled the account all together.

For transparency, since working with you 70% of payments have failed due to insufficient funds (across several cards) so your card declines on 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th June didn't flag any concerns for us.

We have reached out to Stripe (our payment provider) to share this issue with them. They asked for our T's & C's, your agreement to them and our correspondence and concluded "this is strong evidence that we can use to counter her possible dispute".

It's never nice to fall out with anyone - we are fair folks here, offering PR for a low fee, monthly subscription. But by the same token, we do require subscribers to have some responsibility for their account and to flag any issues with respect and courtesy.

Wishing you well,

The Unlockd Team

It's been a pleasure to work with Riley and Jordan at Unlockd PR. Not long after joining, they were able to get me quoted in Yahoo, GOBankingRates and Cosmopolitan. They're both very friendly and very competent - a powerful combo. Looking forward to working closely with them and hopefully more placements to come!

National coverage and brilliant support start to finish

The team helped me secure national coverage for a campaign and everything they did from taking the brief and interviewing the case studies, to drafting the content and liaising with the media was done brilliantly. I was so happy to have them working alongside me and will definitely be using them again.

Fantastic value, service and results

I have really enjoyed working with Unlockd PR - the system is simple but very efficient. I have got some amazing coverage including the Sun!!
And they went the extra mile with the Sun piece because I had written half of it and the journalist came back with some more questions and we had just had a family bereavement and the team just sorted it late on a Friday evening. Totally flawless

Great

Very happy with the process and results. We engaged UnlockdPR to find PR opportunities and write PR articles for us and have seen immediate results.

The account management is been well thought through which saves time and energy in reviewing and managing things as a client, but also means the focus is on delivering results as cost-effectively as possible rather than lots of overhead for long calls or meetings.

Would recommend.

I Recommend Unlockd for small businesses

Been working with Unlockd for a few months. Happy with the service. Easy to use 'pay as you go' PR - they're very receptive to ideas and they have helped secure coverage (hopefully more to come!!)
