CRO CRO LAND

Testimonial:

“Brick were our PR agency for our new indie music festival Cro Cro Land – it was a pleasure working with them. Brick were very responsive to our needs, quickly liaising with us and media contacts to gain previews and interviews. The agency also have a personal touch, going above and beyond what's required – for example Rachel volunteered her time to be a mentor in our festival education programme where 14-24yr olds learned about different professions surrounding the world of music.”
