“Our work with Chris Latham at Swell aimed to balance the creative aspects of national press & the nuts and bolts needed to really tie a successful campaign together. The results were beyond our expectations in terms of coverage and accomplishment. All of this, achieved with a personable and calm air”

“I worked with Chris on Justin Currie’s recent solo record and he’s been a great addition to the team. Not just the expert press campaign but also his instinct for who is the right photographer or biog writer for example has been spot on each time. A thorough and passionate PR”
