I have mentioned that the human factor is very important even in this field.Having personally met those from Centriq PR at some of the events organised I must say that they are a bunch of dedicated people, who know their stuff and still wear their hearts on the sleeve. 

It isn't just motor vehicles you know. In any industry there are people involved in every aspect. Tightening one screw, one bolt or in this case, one press release or one campaign. But each of the job describe needs a person to work on it.
