What others have said about Alto…
“I have been very impressed by Alto’s ability to write consistently good press releases month after month. This, coupled with successful placement of our releases has ensured a significant increase in web related enquiries and traffic into Dolomite’s website.”
Tim Landucci, Marketing Manager, Dolomite
“Super duper Alto!”
Will Spearing, Commercial Executive, BioFocus DPI
“As managing editor in the independent publishing house Panglobal Media, which publishes several English-language titles in the scientific/biotech/healthcare fields, I am responsible for the provision of suitably interesting and technically valid content for our magazines. In this context, Alto Marketing is an extremely valuable partner, with whom I have worked for several years. I am always happy (as are all my editorial colleagues) to receive material for publication from Alto, since it is invariably well-written and requires minimal sub-editing. I particularly appreciate that the articles and product description pieces from Alto strike the right balance between presenting the subject in a positive light without being overly “pushy”, which can be inappropriate for editorial material. Of course all editors need to be able to rely on promised material actually being delivered at the agreed time. As a busy editor, I am therefore always very reassured whenever material is to be provided by Alto, since I know that this means that I can rely on the material being delivered on time without the need for constant reminders.”
Alan Barclay, Managing Editor, Panglobal Media
“Alto Marketing manage to blend a unique blend of professionalism and friendliness to make the media really at home making requests, knowing that requests will be dealt with quickly and before the deadline.”
Matt Wilkinson, Business Editor, Chemistry World
“We have worked with Alto Marketing for a number of years, particularly around industry events such as the Drug Discovery shows in Europe and the US, and I always find the team to be highly professional and knowledgeable about the industry. Clare and David demonstrate a clear understanding of our needs as a publication, and the needs of our readers, therefore any information we receive is always of excellent quality. In addition, their positive attitude and straightforward approach means I always look forward to working with the Alto team.”
Kerry Parker, Editor, SelectScience
“In our five years of publishing, Drug Discovery News has had a wonderful working relationship with Alto Marketing, which represents many of the companies we cover. Despite the fact that DDN is a U.S.-based company, and Alto Marketing is located across the pond, we receive news involving Alto Marketing’s clients in a more timely fashion than some marketing firms on our own home soil are able to achieve. Alto Marketing’s representatives do an excellent job of expediting our interview requests and facilitating conversations with the sources we need to complete our stories, and then following up with us to honor our photography requests and any last-minute questions we may have. Above all, Alto Marketing makes the job of DDN’s editors and reporters much easier—the hallmark of any great marketing firm.”
Amy Swinderman, Chief Editor, Drug Discovery News
“During my four-and-a-half-year tenure as Chief Editor of Drug Discovery News (DDN), Alto Marketing was one of a very small handful of agencies I knew I could count on when I was developing a story for publication. Whether my deadline was next week, or the next day, they consistently arranged interviews for me with key sources on deadline. That may sound trivial, but it was always amazing to me how many PR practitioners seemed to have little regard for my deadline or schedule and often missed deadlines and hence a broader story in our pages. Alto always has a very noticeable presence at the many conferences and trade shows I attended regularly including LabAutomation, Pittcon, SBS and DDT. Whether it was a full-blown press conference or a one-on-one meeting with company executives the Alto team were often the first make arrangement for upcoming shows to make sure their clients found a place on my schedule. In short, in never mattered that Alto is a U.K.-based agency. What is important to me, as an editor, is results. And when I called, Alto delivered.”
