Home > Why
Bees Buzz was founded in 2015 by Stuart Hillis who had a real desire to take his considerable skill set to the market and help support AV businesses in a busy and highly competitive industry. At the time it is thought that Bees Buzz was the only professional AV-dedicated PR agency in the world.
Now working with some of the biggest names in the industry, Bees Buzz retains its family business origins to deliver outstanding results through its ever-expanding team.
The AV channel is packed with brands and organizations which offer solutions to similar challenges. Very often, the difference between true market leaders is conveying the correct messages to potential customers to win business. This, in essence, is the principal foundation of Bees Buzz.
Using effective, traditional media alongside the latest digital communication tools, our aim is to give you maximum, quality exposure, with introductions and relationships that make a real difference.
And because we get results, we have long-standing client relationships.
“Bees Buzz is a natural fit to support and amplify our industry reach. The team has a deep understanding of our technology and our markets, which has enabled them to make an impressive impact on our target audience. We continue to lead the way and respond to market needs with Philips-branded professional displays - matched with our innovative solutions - and we look forward to further increasing footprint with excellent brand awareness and effective, targeted industry PR.”
