Carole Tonkinson, publisher

‘Ruth Cairns is one of the most imaginative, dynamic and effective publicists I have ever known. She brings passion, drive and focus to her work, garnering untold amounts of coverage - and quality coverage at that. Ruth thinks deeply about the right audience, vehicle and the conversation she wants to start. She is tremendously professional but also great fun. Working with her seems like a fun collaboration and never work.’

Jeffrey Archer, author

‘Ruth is highly professional and reliable, and I have always had the utmost confidence in her. She is also full of bright ideas, works incredibly hard, and is fun to work with. In fact, when she left Four Colman Getty, I asked my publishers, Pan Macmillan, to re-employ her, as I didn’t want to work with anyone else.’

Deborah Frances-White, host of The Guilty Feminist

‘Ruth’s enthusiasm is infectious. I always feel so positive when I talk with her and find she has real vision and strategy for my projects. Most importantly, she cares deeply.’

Tim Lott

‘Ruth is completely professional, utterly trustworthy and full of inspiring ideas.  Ruth is original, straight talking, honest and with her own very distinct personality.  Her enthusiasm is infectious and her work ethic is second to none.  I would recommend her wholeheartedly. (She also knows where to buy the most interesting shoes).’

Jessica Huie MBE

‘Ruth has a professional history and reputation which precedes her without any of the ego that so often accompanies it.’

Foluke Akinlose MBE, Founder of The Precious Awards

‘Ruth is hands on, goes the extra mile, is genuinely engaged with great ideas and gives a damn. I love the fact that she only works with people she wants to because she believes in what you are doing. There is that feeling that you and your business are being looked after. The word I am looking for is trust.’

Denis Blais, Denis Blais Management

‘ If I run for President, I’m hiring Ruth as my chief of staff.’
