Essex County Council

When we went out to market, we found e-shot provided great value for money compared to our current provider. Were really focused on improved functionality and future improvements and developments and they provided great training and support through blogs, articles and face-to-face conversations that really helped us during the onboarding and implementation process.

Louise Alabaster, Senior Content Advisor

Essex County Council

It was a great experience carrying out a project implementation with e-shot. The whole team at e-shot really know their product and were able to give realistic and accurate advice about how we should best apply it in a way that would work for our organisation given our individual starting position. Key documents and plans were shared between the two organisations and kept well maintained and reviewed in weekly progress meetings – it felt like one team. The team managing our account were highly responsive, and there was no long chain of command to go through when a change needed to be made to the product or way we were implementing it.

e-shot have helped take our direct corporate communication with residents to the next level, with a class-leading product which will lead to increased engagement. Their willingness to work with us establishing the new platform from the off has been invaluable, and we are enjoying rolling the new product out across our network of departmental communicators so they can enjoy the same benefits.
