TESTIMONIALS

I have known Chloé Nelkin since 2008, when I first started working with her as Royal Literary Fund Fellow at The Courtauld Institute of Art. Quite apart from her expertise in art history, I was very impressed by her management of the East Wing VIII show at The Courtauld when she was an undergraduate. This is an annual exhibition run by students, but there has never been one to equal Chloé's. She has both the creative flair to put an exhibition together and the determination and diplomacy to carry it off, with all the conflicting demands of artists, viewers and venue. She has continued to use these qualities in her work as a consultant - and as a creative, original and regular blogger! I have no doubt that any idea Chloé has is worth pursuing, and that she can deliver, with reliability and aplomb. I have also made use of her talents in event management, having her to work alongside me in running events for the Guild of Public Relations Practitioners, knowing that I can rely on her to deal tactfully and efficiently with all aspects of event management.

We employed Chloé Nelkin Consulting to undertake the PR campaign for our joint exhibition with E&R Cyzer of works by Robert Marc and would without hesitation thoroughly recommend their services. We were most impressed by their work from the outset and this continued every step of the way. From the initial proposal right through to the end of the project Chloé Nelkin Consulting has shown the utmost professionalism. They are extremely efficient with high levels of communication, and their determination and work ethic has brought about results in terms of press coverage far beyond our expectations, especially in light of the relatively short time period they had available to work on the campaign. We shall very much look forward to working with Chloé Nelkin Consulting again in the future.

Chloé Nelkin Consulting provided our Physical Center London programme with brilliant UK and international press coverage. As a broad and international two-month programme of contemporary art, performance, film and science lectures we needed to spread news of our event to a wide range of publications. This programme was curated by a New York-based collective and it was a great relief to know that we could count on Chloé in London during the months leading up to our launch. Upon arrival in the UK, I found that Chloé had lined up an interview with the Independent, and the National (U.A.E.) newspaper and had secured mention and coverage of our various live events on several printed and international online arts listings including the Guardian Guide and San Francisco's Daily Serving. Chloé's ability to reach out to a wide variety of listings and press was key to making our events well attended and taking the ethos of Physical Center to an international arts audience. We hope to work with Chloé again in the future!

I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Chloé Nelkin Consulting. Offering an uniquely personal service, unlike other PR companies we've previously had experience working with, Chloé Nelkin Consulting delivers. They have guided us in formulating an ambitious strategy to help boost our profile and meet our target audience in an ever increasingly competitive contemporary arts' market.

I had the great pleasure to work alongside Chloé on an important artistic project – a collaboration between St Paul’s Cathedral, King’s College London and White Cube – to produce an installation and accompanying series of events. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and knowledge of the art world saved the project from far too many infelicities to mention. This, coupled with her extraordinary diplomatic skills, good humour, and the determination to actually get the results required, made her an utterly invaluable member of the collaborative team. She is the very first person I would think of approaching to provide PR and events support for any artistic endeavour.

I was witness to Chloé's extraordinary feat of coordination which enabled the exhibition East Wing VIII: On Time to come together. Chloé expertly spearheaded the entire process with a degree of professionalism that enabled this student-led show to become a fixture within the greater London artworld. Despite the challenges of working within a listed building with an entirely voluntary staff, Chloé had a remarkable ability to remain level-headed, think on her feet, and come up with ingenious solutions to complex problems in order to satisfy the exhibiting institution, the artists, and the visiting public alike. She was constantly a few steps ahead in planning, anticipating and avoiding potential pitfalls. Her ability to work well with her current contacts and ease at making new ones ensures she has a great pool of support from within the art world on which to draw to achieve the highest quality end result possible.

Chloé Nelkin was the driving force behind organising a very successful fundraising reception we held at the Wellington Arch in January 2008. Chloé organised the sponsors, negotiated with English Heritage to acquire the venue for free, and oversaw the catering and music. She also secured impressive press coverage for the Trust with a two-page colour spread in Country Life - the best news coverage our small charity had ever received! Not only was it a great party, but it helped to raise our profile and brought in much-needed donations. Without her incredible expertise, negotiating skills and gracious efforts on our behalf the event simply would not have taken place.
