Hurst Media Arvostelua 

I recently had the pleasure of working with Hurst Media and their talented Media consultant Elle. From start to finish, the entire experience was positive and professional. Elle was incredibly responsive and communicative, making sure that all of my needs were met throughout the project.

Overall, I would highly recommend Hurst Media and Elle to anyone. I look forward to working with them again in the future.

We have had the opportunity to work with Hurst Media and I must say this has helped us turn our business around. They are extremely professional and very understanding of companies' budgets. I would like to also thank Sebastien Oates as his communication skills are outstanding in every sense of the word. We now plan on using Hurst Media going forward. We as a growing company would recommend Hurst Media every time. Thank you Hurst Media.

We are a new company and don't have big budgets but it's important that we let people know what we are doing. Holly Ireland from Hurst understood exactly what we needed and was an absolute joy to work with, we will definitely be working with her again.

From the outset, my experience with Hurst Media and
Sebastien Oates has been nothing short of exemplary. As a customer, I have been thoroughly impressed by their professionalism, attention to detail, and the consistently high-quality service they provide.

The team at Hurst Media is exceptional. They are knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to delivering the best possible results. Their expertise in media and marketing is evident in every interaction, and they have gone above and beyond to ensure that my needs were met.

Danielle and the team at Hurst are brilliant. A pleasure to deal with and a real array of inventory to support our advertising campaigns.

The company are very efficient and made the whole process seamless. I would recommend them to handle your media requirements.

We have worked with Hurst Media on number of publications over the past 18 months and found them very easy to work with, accommodating to our needs for prime positions and value to match our budget. We will undoubtedly continue to work with them to highlight our products to a wider audience.

So far, we have had a great response to our initial campaign. Danielle has been thoughtful and professional throughout and has also been understanding that our business is small bootstrapped without a huge team. Thanks for the support to Plenaire.

We enlisted the services of Hurst Media for a publication, hoping to drive significant traffic to our website. Despite investing thousands of pounds, we only witnessed a measly 12 visits on our website from this publication. When we raised concerns about the effectiveness and legitimacy of the service, they presented us with a file containing thousands of IP addresses from various locations. This list, however, seemed to be automatically generated rather than representing genuine traffic, raising substantial doubts about its authenticity.

Moreover, sharing such a list of IP addresses is a clear violation of GDPR practices, which further tarnished their credibility in our eyes. Despite this, Hurst Media staunchly defended their stance, claiming that the traffic was genuine and we should have seen tens of thousands of visits reflected in our analytics, a claim that was far from our reality.

Their response and the lack of results were highly disappointing and raised red flags about their operational practices and compliance with legal standards. Based on our experience, we strongly advise against working with Hurst Media. Their service did not live up to our expectations, nor did it justify the hefty price we paid.

I recently ran a competition in The Guardian through Hurst Media dealing with Sebastien Oates and can’t recommend them enough. Sebastien was friendly, patient and helpful and I gained over 2000 new subscribers to my mailing list. So pleased with them that I’m running another at the end of this month.

Worked with Holly Ireland on a feature and it was great! She was really helpful and very good at giving advice! Can't wait to work with her again!

I dealt with Sebastien Oates, and he was personable and helpful from the get-go. He managed my expectations, responded quickly whenever I had a question or concern, and I am pleased with the article the production team has written. Excellent communication and customer service! Thank you Sebastien.

I dealt with Danielle Gray and she was excellent right from the very first phone call. She explained clearly and concisely exactly what the deal was, what was needed from us and what we would get in return. Excellent communication and customer service!

Super experience from start to finish with Danielle. A pleasure working together to get media live!

If you scroll through many of the appalling reviews and then read the firms reply, you will get a measure of them.
GDPR breaches are clearly profound and we have experienced this 4 times and have requested a copy of the Hurst Media GDPR policy. So far nothing is forthcoming and I have written to their Lawyers again today requesting a copy.

After a phone and email exchange with Kyle Stephenson and thorough examination of TrustPilot reviews of Hurst Media, it appears that the negative feedback regarding aggressive sales tactics is indeed well-founded.

Ive just run a 2nd advert in the Guardian through Hurst Media arranged by Jamie Phillips. Great price, excellent communication and over 3000 subscribers this time to my website. If you're looking for email subscriber's run a competition through Hurst Media, can't recommend them enough

Very aggressive and pushy sales tactics from James Hurst. The owner of the company I work for declined the advert offer well in time before the advert was due to go ahead (and the advert didn't go ahead) but they are still very aggressively chasing the invoice for a service that didn't happen and threating to increase the invoice amount. AVOID!

Alex Muirden is definitely my trusted go to when it comes to media buy. Being a new small business in the wellbeing sector, I feel confident that the team at Hurst Media always look after my advertising needs, especially when it comes to smaller budgets and both a wider, as well as a more niche reach. I'm grateful to have the support of the team at Hurst, including James and Joe, who all hear and understand my needs. I'd recommend getting in touch to see how the team can help you with your media buy as a new/small business.

We took a spot in the Homes, Gardens & Interiors section of the Times on Saturday, through the lovely Alex Muirden in April running a competition on Checklists.co.uk alongside it. Alex was very professional to work with, he listened to my concerns and took time to understand our product, making sure we were correctly placed in the paper on the right day for the best exposure of our product. On top of his professional sales skills, he also shares great recipes! Very professional experience all round.
Many thanks Alex and Team
