NAKEDPR was appointed as our PR Consultants in 2012, and ever since, our road-racing event has gone from strength to strength. NAKEDPR has placed Armoy Road Races firmly on the map, both locally and internationally, providing a high level of quality media coverage using both digital and traditional methods all over the world. This has enabled us to promote our road-racing event as far and wide as possible, which consequently boosted funding.
