How Lift Improved Communications for Their Clients with Prowly

Introduction

Lift Consulting, based in Portugal, manages the communication strategies of major brands across a number of verticals. Their expertise helps to enhance the effects of the PR and marketing campaigns of their clients and involves working with some of the most well-known and successful media platforms in the world. With just over fifty team members, Lift Consulting has an enviable track record, earning it the distinction of the most awarded communications consultancy in Portugal. In short, Lift understands what it takes to deliver client value at the very highest levels of extremely competitive industries.

CHALLENGE

Lift are experts in PR, not IT

Streamlining the process of creating and managing communication across multiple clients while allowing for future growth became an issue at Lift. They considered building their own in-house solution to expand their PR capabilities but quickly realized that the necessary skill sets were outside their core competencies. Pivoting from PR to IT was not the optimal use of their time and resources. Deciding it was better to focus on their core mission and look for the right partner to deliver what they needed, Lift began to consider their options for a full suite of PR tools.

Quick questions

What made you decide to choose Prowly?

How would you describe Prowly in three words?

Simple, aggregator, database.

What problem did you have before Prowly and how has Prowly helped?

GDPR compliance and updated database are two very time-consuming issues that Prowly now takes care of for us automatically. Also, it’s now much easier to incorporate videos on press releases, making them more engaging and effective.

What would your job be like if you didn’t have Prowly?

We would have to deal with complex issues related to GDPR compliance and the time-consuming task of keeping our databases updated. We would also be without valuable metrics that we can now use to better measure our performance and reach.

In addition to results, what other benefits have you experienced from Prowly?

Our database is now updated for everyone in the company, it’s easier to write stories, we love the great Newsroom, the SaaS architecture is convenient and having all metrics in one place is a big plus.
