English term or phrase: were steadily increasing
Context:

Everybody liked Al. Since he’d appeared on the scene, sales were steadily increasing. Public relations were improving. What’s more, morale had never been higher

Note: In this phrase, I'm trying to find a creative translation that does not sound like it's marketing or finance. In this sense some options that come to mind include:

las ventas aumentaban/se acrecentaban a un ritmo constante/ y las relaciones públicas iban tomando mejor cariz?

Gracias
