Testimonials

I’ve worked with Ruby at You Do Better on a number of projects and she is an absolute pleasure to partner with. She’s incredibly reliable, communicative and always delivers exactly what’s needed – often going above and beyond to make things as smooth as possible.

Ruby is a real “safe pair of hands” – someone you can trust to take ownership, understand your goals and get on with things without needing constant input. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any business looking for dependable, high-quality marketing and PR support.

James Algar | Marketing and Business Development Director Vale Group (2026)

Working with Ruby over the years has been consistently reassuring; she brings a level of professionalism and honesty that’s hard to come by. What I particularly value is that her advice is always grounded, clear and given with our best interests in mind.

Ruby has always felt like a natural extension of our team rather than an external supplier. There’s a real sense of being in safe hands, knowing that her experience and judgement underpin everything she does. It makes a significant difference, especially in situations where clarity and confidence are key.

Ruby is fantastic, she’s a straight-talker, professional, personable, proactive and pragmatic. For more than 10 years she has used her many talents to help Pershore Tennis Centre become one of the leading clubs in the region.

Ruby, and her team of associates, manage the media and communications for the club. We chose her based on her excellent track record, experience and skillset. Ruby has provided engaging media coverage for our club and raised our profile locally. Her team manage content creation in terms of news updates and press releases, for example, liaison with the media, and our social media platforms, promoting events and our club with organic and paid advertising.

I recommend Ruby to anyone or any business who requires outsourced, on demand marketing and PR. You Do Better Ltd.’s pay-as-you-go business model is ideal for smaller organisations or those who want to market their business but don’t need someone in that role full-time.

Thanks Ruby!

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Ruby and ‘You Do Better’ to help deliver a whole raft of campaigns in support of the Government’s important initiative to raise awareness of violence against women and girls.

Ruby’s ability to extract a clear, cohesive brief from a complex portfolio of stakeholders, provide the team at Switch with precise messaging guidance and ultimately manage the delivery of campaign assets across print, social and digital channels, has been thoroughly impressive, efficient and refreshing. We can’t wait to work with Ruby again!

Ruby and her PAYG PR Model are amazing!

We had a unique project which required special attention & handling and Ruby did the job perfectly.

But Ruby took it on with gusto and -It was executed perfectly!

Couldn’t recommend Ruby more highly!

Luke Harrison | Communications Consultant LH Communications Ltd (2023)

Having worked with Ruby for 3 years I thought it was time to write a recommendation!

Ruby and the team at youdobetter provide the perfect solution for SMEs who perhaps don’t have an internal resource or those bigger organisations that have an important communication exercise that they need help with. Apart from being professional and fun to work with Ruby’s strategic thinking allows her to advise how and when to communicate key messages and stories, and proactively pull everything together to create a personalised PR campaign. There’s no doubt that some of the activity Ruby has helped us with over the last 3 years has contributed to us winning a number of trade awards.

Thank you and keep up the good work Ruby and team You Do Better!

Ruby is really brought our Safer Streets multi-agency project to life. She engaged with all the partners, understood our various requirements and outcomes and turned this into one co-ordinated project; designing branding and multi-media assets to help partners promote our work. Ruby wrote editorial and press releases for online information and traditional press, designed social media assets for partners to use and create materials for officers to use and distribute at events. Ruby always has a smile, coaching officers to meet copy deadlines and making sure projects stay on target. Thanks Ruby, for delivering a very worth while project.

If you need PR Ruby is your person!

Andrew Preece | Digital Consultant Newsquest, now Owner of Wyre Forest Matters (2024)

Ruby is a really pro-active PR who puts the interests of her clients first all the time. She’s enthusiastic, informed and understands the difference between a really good news story and PR puff. In a constantly full in-box, I always open and read her emails.

Nicky Godding | Editor Business & Innovation Magazine and Retail Watch, now Editor at The Business Magazine (2021)

We have been fortunate to have Ruby support us with a global campaign. Just weeks before the launch date she seamlessly fulfilled our PR brief and secured international trade and consumer press. We found her to be a clear communicator that quickly understood the handwriting and tone of voice of the brand. This is such an important skill when working with any agency and can often detract companies from outsourcing, with Ruby this was not the case.

Curvy Kate has a fantastic Marketing Department with amazing assets to utilise but even the best team can experience moments when resources are stretched. We feel fortunate to have found Ruby as it is good to know that during those high pressured times, when the workload increases, that we can utilise her PR services again and optimise all of our opportunities. She was a compliment to our team and would highly recommend her.

Rachel Jenkins | General Manager Curvy Kate, now Managing Director (2021)

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ruby on a few occasions now. The quality of work she produces is great. Ruby is a great planner, very innovative with ideas, enthusiastic and works extremely hard. As well as producing amazing work that delivers she’s also easy to work with.

We use Ruby and the team for our marketing communications. The social media posts and advertisements are professional, well presented and very effective. You Do Better save us a lot of time and are very affordable.

Gary O’Reilly | Managing Director SME Comply (2021)

Great professional advice and excellent service – we cannot recommend Ruby highly enough!

George Powell | Director Powell & Associates (2020)

Ruby and You Do Better have changed the way the community sees Pershore Tennis Centre. Before Ruby, PTC was an unknown tennis club in Pershore, after 5 years of PR and Comms we are now well known in the local area and our membership has increased by 33%. Ruby makes sure our stories get to the newspapers, our website and Facebook is always up to date with current events. Ruby has made an enormous impact on our club and we are very grateful for her hard work and diligence.

Sarah McCormick | Chair Pershore Tennis Centre (2024)

It’s great having an expert like Ruby who knows exactly how best to present and post onto social media which is done instantly for you. My online presence has increased and I am seeing the benefits with more enquiries and more people taking up lessons. Thank you!

Steve Bauer | Director Prime Tennis Ltd (2020)

Ruby helped us out massively with our PR on social media and web site since we did not have the time or know-how to fully maximise these resources. The impact has been tremendous with increased engagement and traffic which especially helped when looking for new members to join us since the traditional advertising routes were relatively fruitless. An engaging and knowledgeable person, Ruby is very flexible and happy to work on an ad hoc basis which is ideal for us!!

Andy Bard | Venture Capital Portfolio Manager Midven (2024)

What sets Ruby apart is not just their talent, but also their unwavering dedication to her work and clients. She approaches every project with enthusiasm and attention to detail, ensuring that each piece of content they produce is tailored to meet the specific needs and objectives of the client.

Her warmth, humour, straight talking and genuine kindness make working together a joy, and it’s no surprise that they have she has strong relationships with clients. I wholeheartedly recommend Ruby to anyone seeking a talented and reliable pay as you go copywriter who is a pleasure to work with.
