“During the years we have worked with JLA, their industry insight, expertise and extensive network in the maritime industry has proven invaluable to us. We appreciate the seamless and efficient collaboration with JLA– they are often seen as a natural extension to our own team. They provide quality content as well as well-grounded and frank advise that results in high and relevant media visibility.”

Cecilie Heavens, Head of Global Marketing and Communications, ABB Marine & Ports

“MacGregor has a long-standing relationship with JLA Media covering all aspects of marketing communications activity. The provision of proactive advice, combined with media expertise and high quality marketing material support, makes a valuable contribution to the planning and execution of MacGregor’s external communication priorities.

I consider JLA to be an extended part of our Communications team and have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone seeking a specialist partner within the maritime industry.”

Robin Thuillier, Director, Communications, MacGregor

“Having worked with a couple of agencies in the past I can say that my experience with JLA surpasses any other I’ve had in the past. Certainly, JLA has deep industry knowledge and specialization, excellent relations with the maritime press and the highest degree of professionalism that you would expect from a good PR agency. However, the most significant factor is the quality of the people. Their work is great and the results our cooperation brought for METIS are greater. JLA is everything a PR agency in the maritime industry should be and much more.”

Andreas Symeonidis, Marketing Manager, METIS Cyberspace Technology SA

“The Royal Institution of Naval Architects has worked with JLA Media for many years and remains fully satisfied by its service excellence. The JLA team provide invaluable support to RINA, based on their in-depth understanding of our activities and aims, and on their outstanding media relationships. I would not hesitate to recommend JLA Media to any organisation seeking to raise its profile across the maritime industries and beyond.”

Dmitriy Ponkratov PhD MBA, Operations Director, The Royal Institution of Naval Architects

“JLA has proven itself to be a valued part of our overseas advertising and PR efforts. Their professional yet friendly service and personal interest in our success have been instrumental in helping us develop and implement media plans that target our advertising most effectively. They have always been willing to go the extra mile to help us achieve our media goals and find effective solutions to our needs.”

Dr Abdul Rahim, Regional Manager, South Asia, ClassNK

Their expertise saves us time and ensures the best media exposure we can get for our budget in the complicated market of maritime, offshore, defence and fire media. They are truly interested in our business and make sure that we are well-informed and make the right choices.”
