"I really enjoyed working with Companion for the opening of Bar Leone. The project was a very important one to me, and I felt that the team understood my needs and were able to help create the content, strategy and events tailored specifically to my vision. The bar industry in Asia is so very vibrant and it is difficult to cut through all the noise. With Companion onboard to look after the details, I was able to focus on the bigger picture, knowing I was in safe hands."

"Working with COMPANION was the first time we hired a PR agency - and we were nervous about the process. With COMPANION, it was smooth from day one; every discussion was transparent, educational and strategic. The team understood our brand and our goals straight away, and they hit the ground running helping us to elevate our messaging and our strategy. What we felt was important was how they were able to understand the challenges of the niche industry of interior design in Asia, the different markets we work with and our specific needs in terms of communication.

COMPANION is definitely the perfect partner to help your journey if you are a small brand looking to deepen your strategy and expand your reach."

Jennine Lee St.John, Travel+Leisure Asia

"You can tell when an external agency has in-house hospitality experience. The vibe, the sense of urgency, the sense of agency make all the difference in creating trust and partnership. COMPANION are creative, whip-smart and speedy — and are always acting with both the media and their clients' best interests at heart. A joy to work with, they are empowered, know their stuff, and they make our lives easier."

"You could be after a stellar launch for your product or destination, a strategic PR campaign with pinpoint positioning, or simply a strong impact on your bottom line through an integrated comms approach. COMPANION have proven in just three years that they can match and even surpass the very best in the business in those three disciplines - and more. Not only that, but they do it with genuine passion, flair and a sense of humour which ensures that working with them is a joy, never a chore. As someone with 25 years' experience in both global communications and content production as a journalist, I recommend them wholeheartedly and without hesitation."

Daven Wu, Channel News Asia & W*

"In my line of work as freelance lifestyle journalist, a good PR and communications agency is crucial, with timely delivery of comprehensive information at the top of the list. Having someone who anticipates my editorial needs - whether for interviews, collateral or arranging for a personal experience - and who responds quickly without the need for any follow-up is all that stands between frustration and making a tight deadline. From the first time I worked with her when she was inhouse at COMO Hotels a million years ago till today, Dominique has delivered, time and again. I couldn’t recommend her services highly enough."
