We are causing a stir within TOCs and Transport organisations

We are causing a stir within TOCs and Transport organisations: gloo-T.O.C

Great Western Railway, Stagecoach, Northern, Network Rail, The Office of Rail & Road, TfL, HS2, and Transport Scotland have all recently streamlined their communication functions with PRgloo and we asked ourselves (and them) why...

It seems that as budgets are squeezed, pressure goes up on over-stretched communication teams who have to deal with the media, stakeholders and the community at large. A system like PRgloo helps teams to get the most out of their budgets by providing a simple platform for:

  • Dealing with enquiries 
  • Managing statements
  • Sending out press releases 
  • Planning activities 
  • Managing your online newsroom 
  • Making sense of your coverage 

Kevin Groves, Head of Media - Network Rail

“PRgloo is intuitive and powerful. It’s been designed by a competent and experienced team who have demonstrated that they understand what it is like to work in a high-pressured PR environment. My team use it every hour of every day (work hours and on-call) as it significantly aids our workflows, message consistency and journalist contact visibility. We use it to manage media enquiries, statements, interview bids, press release publication, distribution and our entire media centre. The service and support has met all targets and expectations and we look forward to a continued, long-term relationship with the PRgloo platform and its team.”

Emma Knight, Stagecoach

“We choose PRgloo because it gives us an ‘out of the box’ shared platform for the team which is reliable, simple to use and which saves us a great deal of time. We enjoy the way the system feels so intuitive and we love the regular system improvements and contact with the team who are always responsive and helpful.

As we are all based in different locations, it allows us to easily see what media issues are ongoing, how we are responding and who is dealing with them. We also use the system to send out branded releases via email to our key media and stakeholders and keep track of events using the PR Planner. It's also great to have a tool that is easy to use on the move via our iPads - I'd definitely recommend the system.”
