STC-PR's Support for Action Time TV: Promoting Their Work & TV Garden Makeover Show with Diarmuid Gavin

STC-PR was delighted to support Action Time TV, a Manchester-based TV production company, in promoting their TV garden makeover show featuring renowned landscape designer Diarmuid Gavin. The show aired across ITV regional channels and captured the imagination of viewers throughout the country. Our strategic PR efforts were integral in highlighting the company's incredible work and bringing attention to the garden transformation projects that Action Time TV was showcasing on a national platform.

Raising Awareness of Action Time TV’s Work

Action Time TV, known for its innovative and engaging TV productions, needed strategic PR support to ensure its brand and its work reached a wide audience.
