Testimonials

"We have worked with MTA Media since the very first days of Aura Sports, we brought them in prior to the actual launch of the company. It speaks volumes about how we highly regard them, and the quality of the work that they have done with Aura Sports, that four years later on, we are still working with Mark and the team."

Paul Wright MD Aura Sports

"UEFA's official web site for EURO 2000, as built by Sportal, broke all traffic records to become (at the time) the biggest sports site ever. As our head of PR, Mark played an invaluable role both in promoting the official site but also Sportal's role in creating it. At the same time, he positioned Sportal, a start-up internet company, at the top table of UEFA sponsors alongside global brands like Philips, Coca Cola and MacDonald's.

The Sportal brand emerged as the biggest in the online sports environment and was rightly judged by the Superbrands panel to have been the E Brand leader within the online sports sector. Sportal itself was nominated by The Sunday Times as Europe's Number One Internet business.

When the online bubble burst and Sportal faced financial challenges, Mark proved as adept at handling the (bad) press as when we had been on the up and up."

"At BSI we have always felt that the FIM British Speedway Grand Prix at the Millennium Stadium should be considered one of the biggest events in the British Motorsports Calendar, but we have never managed to get the media to give the event the coverage it deserves. However this year working with Mark and the team, we had a improved coverage in national and regional press in the lead up to the event, and on the morning of the Grand Prix itself, for the first time ever we had coverage in every single national newspaper. Add to this very comprehensive regional coverage in both newspapers and radio in our key target areas. We were also kept fully briefed as the campaign unfolded, which made it an easy process to understand

"To really make a mark in a crowded environment like sport, you need to work with a specialist, someone who has an in-depth knowledge of the people and the media landscape of the sports industry. You also need creativity and inspiration. Having worked closely with Mark, I know that those are precisely the qualities that he brings with him."
