APL Media Reviews 154

The team have always pulled through for us. Really flexible on invoicing and reporting, I'm a scatterbrain and they're really supportive pre and post bookings. When things go wrong, as things do, they're quick to own up and fix it. I always hear them out and see what distressed stock they have at good prices, great for upper funnel activations.

As Juan del Toro, Director at Magno Apartments, I would like to thank APL Media and the National Geographic Traveller team for their professionalism and support throughout our participation in the Spain Collection 2026.

From the initial conversations through to publication, the process was smooth, well organised and transparent. Daniel Watt was always available to answer questions and guide us through each stage, while the Production Team provided clear instructions and excellent support.

The final result exceeded our expectations and we were delighted with both the print and online features. The collaboration was efficient, professional and enjoyable from start to finish.

I would highly recommend APL Media and National Geographic Traveller to any company looking to increase its visibility through a high-quality editorial partnership.

The team is very supportive and understanding of the client's needs and they try to go the mile and beyond to help reach success.

As DOSM at Keemala, I have enjoyed working with Danny Pegg and APL Media through National Geographic Traveller (UK).
Danny is professional, responsive and always delivers on what he promises. He is easy to work with, understands the hospitality industry well, and focuses on building genuine long-term partnerships rather than simply selling opportunities.

I've worked ad hoc with APL whilst I've been at a few different companies. They've always taken time to understand what my demographic and business needs are, and only come to me with sensible suggestions at good prices. I mainly say no, but sometimes the timing and channel fits, and I've always found them to be professional and friendly either way.

I’ve really enjoyed working with APL Media over the past year, especially with Adam Fox.

Adam has been more than just helpful. He has been a great partner to work with, always supportive, easy to speak to and genuinely interested in understanding Villa Resorts and what we are trying to do. Whether it has been campaign planning, last-minute questions or finding the right opportunities for our properties, he has always been there to guide and support us.

It’s been a real pleasure working with Adam and the wider APL Media team, and we truly appreciate the effort, care and patience they bring to the partnership.

George was great to work with and informative about the different options suitable for our campaign for Visit Essex. He was also flexible and accommodating when we had an issue with the sign off on our side which was hugely appreciated.

As the UK marketing representatives for the island of Tobago we have built a fantastic working relationship with APL Media, specifically with Danny Pegg, and mostly working on National Geographic Traveller. The videos that were filmed are timeless and are used continuously by the Tobago Tourism Agency in its promotions of the island, whilst the Travel Geeks event we co-hosted with NatGeo was a true highlight. The readers are the perfect target market for any destination seeking discerning travellers who appreciate authenticity and a bit of adventure.

It is a complete scam. Do not believe the fake reviews. They contacted me that they would publish smth at the Guardian, with a super promotional price. There was abslolutely nothing published. They just took the money and stopped responding. Real digital thiefs. If i had more time i would have followed legal process, but not worth it. Stay away, there is nothing real behind them, only Scam.

My charity paid £1,000 for an ad in a paper after being led to believe there would be a sizeable response. But the complete opposite was true.

Not only did we get no donations and no QR scans, but our website traffic was actually less than normal.

I feel totally misled and completely embarrassed that so much of charity money was wasted this way.

I messaged them and, after one reply appearing to care, they stopped answering my emails.

Don't waste your money with them

Excellent communication and support from the team at APL. This was Quintadena's first time using APL and they made the process easy and straightforward.
Hoping to work with them again in the future. A big shout out to Jack Gormley and Gordan Wallis for there great customer service.

Very friendly team, who approached us with relevant opportunities and were quick to understand and adapt to our needs. As a charity, we were also grateful to Luca and the team for helping us maximise impact and reach within a limited budget.

I used their services for the first time a month ago, when I purchased an ad campaign a UK newspaper. After publication, we noticed that the ad was generating ZERO traffic. Suspecting a technical issue, I tried to contact APL media, and that's when the nightmare began. It took me 3 weeks of chasing over email and phone to get them to admit that there was some technical issue with the banners. However, when we submitted the material, they confirmed in writing that everything was in order. When I pointed that out, they stopped answering to our emails.

I published a negative review here on Trustpilot, and they immediately started responding back to my emails. The got me in touch with a different person, who fixed the issue with the banners, so I removed the review. Exactly 24 hours later, we stopped seeing any traffic coming from the ad again. We tried to contact them, but it was another nightmare. They were either responding in a meaningless way ("wait for the campaign to gain traction") or not responding at all.

Ever since, we have seen ZERO traffic from the ad, and they don't seem to be interested in providing the service. They took our money, wasted weeks of our time, and delivered nothing. Disgraceful company.

Olivia made contact regularly, was very engaged throughout the process, copy text edited well. Thank you!

Anthony and the team at APL media are exceptional, there are many cases in the past that we have worked closely and hand-in-hand together, almost like an in-house resource of our company.

Olivia is the best. Always efficient, helpful and encouraging. Great working with APL media!

I have worked with Anthony Leyens for many years and find him a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend both him and his Company.

Anthony and the team at APL are really knowledgeable and offer some fantastic bespoke packages for our clients. It's been great working with them and we look forward to working with them more in the future.

I have had the pleasure of working with APL Media for a number of years. Anthony and the team are ever growing and adapt positively in what is an everchanging landscape across the publishing world. Both digitally and across print products, the creative and marketing teams are always keen to test new ideas and react quickly and efficiently. A wonderful, professional company who I feel privileged to work with.

Fusion have continually had a great experience working with APL Media.
Highly recommended!
