About Me

To find out more about what we can do for you, email [email protected] or call us on 01223 410000Quite Great is a creative publicity agency with experience in all facets of the publicity industry. We have recently started working with indie upstarts, Johnny Foreigner, as well as The Sequins and The Pistolas. Not to mention the fabulous Dannii Minogue, with whom we are working for her new record, 'Unleashed' and her brilliant Greatest Hits DVD. Freefonix is sure to be the hit kids show of 2008, with its incredible visual style and incredible voice acting it's certainly one to look out for. The first episode airs on the 4th of January at 4:20pm on BBC1. Quite Great Solutions are ecstatic to be working with Cinnamon Productions to tie in with the announcement of the largest ever CGI comission by the BBC - keep your eye on Cinnamon, they're on their way up! Our involvement with Sir Mick Jagger's Greatest Hits album, led to a partnership promotion with the Daily Telegraph resulting in more than 81,000 downloads of an exclusive free remix of 'Charmed Life'.QG are now working with Music Tech Schools, the place to start if you want to end up on a list with our other distinguished clients! The number one vocal training school in the country wants you - forget the X-Factor and check them out to see what they can do for all you budding talents out there! Music Tech offered the first contemporary popular music performance degree in the 90s when the scene was dominated by classical courses and now every establishment offers a contemporary pop degree. After 25 years in the business, they have founded Keyboardtech and the first and once more the only contemporary keyboard performance degree in Europe!Quite Great have successfully set up a sponsorship deal between billionaire businessman Alki David and Cambridge Rugby Club. The unique deal, which sees David sponsoring the club's pitch, is intended to both help Cambridge Rugby club to build their reputation and move up in the world and to further the efforts of the Greek national rugby team. Alki intends, in partnership with his online interactive film company, 'Filmon', to help his native Greek rugby team build their reputation and will be hosting online interactive training sessions for the two teams, allowing for CRUFC to export their expertees in a unique way. In due time Alki intends for the two teams to play an exhibition match, bringing Greek rugby to the attention of the world. We have had great results recently in the consumer sector working with the fascinating Gerry Anderson and Pickwick, of Thunderbirds fame and Benjamin Fry, the self-help guru, whose company Happy Hour, was founded on the knowledge Benjamin earned (no pun intended) from the long running BBC series, 'Spendaholics'. The company offers personal trainers for one hour a month to bring you your own, Happy Hour.Email us at [email protected] to get on the list to hear what we're up to, what's cool and almost everything that's important!
