A genuinely supportive partner

I’ve really enjoyed working with APL Media over the past year, especially with Adam Fox.

Adam has been more than just helpful. He has been a great partner to work with, always supportive, easy to speak to and genuinely interested in understanding Villa Resorts and what we are trying to do. Whether it has been campaign planning, last-minute questions or finding the right opportunities for our properties, he has always been there to guide and support us.

It’s been a real pleasure working with Adam and the wider APL Media team, and we truly appreciate the effort, care and patience they bring to the partnership.

Informative and accommodating

George was great to work with and informative about the different options suitable for our campaign for Visit Essex. He was also flexible and accommodating when we had an issue with the sign off on our side which was hugely appreciated.

Great relationship over many years

As the UK marketing representatives for the island of Tobago we have built a fantastic working relationship with APL Media, specifically with Danny Pegg, and mostly working on National Geographic Traveller. The videos that were filmed are timeless and are used continuously by the Tobago Tourism Agency in its promotions of the island, whilst the Travel Geeks event we co-hosted with NatGeo was a true highlight. The readers are the perfect target market for any destination seeking discerning travellers who appreciate authenticity and a bit of adventure.

Waste your money then stop responding

My charity paid £1,000 for an ad in a paper after being led to believe there would be a sizeable response. But the complete opposite was true.

Not only did we get no donations and no QR scans, but our website traffic was actually less than normal.

I feel totally misled and completely embarrassed that so much of charity money was wasted this way.

I messaged them and, after one reply appearing to care, they stopped answering my emails.

Don't waste your money with them

Helpful team, maximising reach

Very friendly team, who approached us with relevant opportunities and were quick to understand and adapt to our needs. As a charity, we were also grateful to Luca and the team for helping us maximise impact and reach within a limited budget.

Disgraceful company

I used their services for the first time a month ago, when I purchased an ad campaign a UK newspaper. After publication, we noticed that the ad was generating ZERO traffic. Suspecting a technical issue, I tried to contact APL media, and that's when the nightmare began. It took me 3 weeks of chasing over email and phone to get them to admit that there was some technical issue with the banners. However, when we submitted the material, they confirmed in writing that everything was in order. When I pointed that out, they stopped answering to our emails.

I published a negative review here on Trustpilot, and they immediately started responding back to my emails. The got me in touch with a different person, who fixed the issue with the banners, so I removed the review. Exactly 24 hours later, we stopped seeing any traffic coming from the ad again. We tried to contact them, but it was another nightmare. They were either responding in a meaningless way ("wait for the campaign to gain traction") or not responding at all.

Ever since, we have seen ZERO traffic from the ad, and they don't seem to be interested in providing the service. They took our money, wasted weeks of our time, and delivered nothing. Disgraceful company.

Hi Franc

We are sorry to hear our level of service has fallen far below your expectations on this occasion. This is not what we would expect from our team or from our products.

Understandably you are not pleased with the outcome, therefore we are taking that onboard to learn and improve our service on this product.

We have tried to work with you to come to a resolution – and we are investigating to see what has happened on this occasion.

All the best,

A Wonderful Company

I have had the pleasure of working with APL Media for a number of years. Anthony and the team are ever growing and adapt positively in what is an everchanging landscape across the publishing world. Both digitally and across print products, the creative and marketing teams are always keen to test new ideas and react quickly and efficiently. A wonderful, professional company who I feel privileged to work with.

Excellent Content Agency - Highly Recommended! had the pleasure of working with…

Having had the pleasure of working with Anthony and APL Media, I couldn't be more impressed.
From the very first interaction, the team demonstrated their expertise,
professionalism, and understanding of our industry. The staff were extremely helpful
and easy to work with throughout the entire process, taking the time to understand
our brand, target audience, and marketing goals, and then created a content strategy
that was both creative and forward thinking. The content itself was not only visually
captivating, but also satisfied what I was hoping to achieve, helping us engage our
audience in a more meaningful way and expand our reach. The team's attention to
detail was evident and I would highly recommend them to any company looking to
amplify their content marketing efforts and connect with their target audience.
