TESTIMONIALS
FEELING THE LOVE
“When launching Dose & Co we had Rise + Shine help us with our PR, after many recommendations. Rise + Shine have a solid team of professional PR experts who went above and beyond for Dose & Co – they were always putting new ideas forward. Rather than us going to them, their team was moving us forward constantly. I highly recommend Rise + Shine, they delivered outstanding results, are easy to work with, talented, proactive and committed to your success. Thank you for all the amazing work you did to help up grow our business.”

“It has been a pleasure to work with the team at Rise & Shine for several years now in my current and previous roles. When you’re inundated with press releases, pitches that cut through the clutter and resonate with our titles are a godsend. Luci and her team are not only extremely passionate, but they also have a thorough understanding of what we do and always go above and beyond to get me what I need.'“

"I've had the pleasure of working with Luci and the Rise & Shine PR team since the agency began in 2018, and in the time since I've not only formed professional relationships but friends, too.
In my role as beauty editor, I work with a number of health and beauty PR agencies but R&SPR remains ahead of the curve with its progressive, collaborative approach to pitching products and story ideas.
The team are always quick to respond to requests (some of which are very last minute given the tight weekly deadlines I work to) and always go above and beyond to ensure I have all the information I need. Never pushy and always polite, I look forward to many more years working with this talented and hardworking team."

“The Rise & Shine team have been a vital part of Glasshouse Fragrances brand awareness and continued growth in the New Zealand market.
Over the last 12 months they have worked as an extension of our global marketing team, a wonderful local representation of our brand and values on the ground in Auckland.
Their attention to detail, delivery and results are unmatched and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Luci, Jess and Sam to any other brand looking for a strategic lead approach to comms and influencer management.”

“We couldn’t recommend Rise & Shine PR enough. Luci makes every effort to understand your business and PR requirements, and truly listens to your thoughts and ideas. It is obvious she has an amazing rapport within the media industry, which makes working with Rise & Shine PR incredibly easy.
Most importantly, when Luci has managed our PR she has delivered and communicated way above our expectations. We feel incredibly fortunate to have been introduced to Rise & Shine PR.”

"Luci is so great to work with, she has an informed sensitivity to the brands she works with so I had every confidence in her that she was telling the right story for my brand.
Luci managed to secure some amazingly strong, national press stories, across all media (print, influential online, TV and newspaper) to reach the people we wanted. She also has amazing style of business so I always felt well supported through the whole process."

“We have been working with Luci Marshall for 12 years from both an employee and agency relationship, and over that time Luci has impressed us on many levels with, not only the results she has achieved for our brands in terms of editorial content and opportunities, but also in the relationships she has forged.
Luci’s agency Rise & Shine PR is masterful at working with teams and external contacts to collaborate on ideas. Their creative flair is visible in the beautiful media & influencer send-outs and also in the product launch events. Every little detail is considered. But above all, the team really understands how to nurture relationships with people - from beauty editors, to influencers, to strategic partners, and the team. I think it is this, combined with their understanding of strategy, that really sees them stand out from the pack.”

“Over the years I have worked with Luci in many different roles, and have always found her to be the consummate professional. But above that, I’ve found her to be incredibly kind and passionate about her work, meaning she has always stood out from the crowd in the best way possible.”
