The client profile

An applicant preparing through the arts PR route, following an earlier application.

02

What Pier helped with

They helped me describe my work and my place in the local scene in plain words, without puffing it up. Also, they compared my earlier application with the new one side by side. Seeing the differences made me realise how much I'd left out.

The specific help the client highlighted

This work sits within Pier's Singapore PR application service.

03

The client experience

Pier understood my project-based career and didn't try to squeeze me into a salaried template. Nothing was rushed and nothing was left to guess. I got my PR, and I'm so relieved and thankful. Happy to recommend Pier to anyone in the same boat.
