PR services
Why do you need a PR agency?
Your organisation lives and dies on its reputation.
Perceptions about its services, ethos, products and practices shape whether people want to work with and support you. The point of public relations (PR) is to help shape those perceptions.
PR is about getting you noticed for your expertise and marking out what makes you different. It’s how you communicate with customers – both current and potential – and demonstrate your knowledge through the media. That’s what gains people’s trust: it’s evidence that you know what you’re talking about.
Those signals don’t stop with media mentions. They ripple into search engines, social feeds and AI-driven platforms that summarise answers for millions of users. That’s why PR isn’t just a ‘nice to have’ – it underpins how your brand is found, understood and trusted everywhere.
We know the value of crafting stories that appeal to outlets, and beyond. Whether it’s to share news of expansion, a new product or service, to campaign for change or advise about an issue, we’ll work with you to make your voice heard.
How a PR service works
We need to get under the skin of your organisation.
Blindly firing out press releases achieves precious little. Understanding your goals, sticking points, plans for the future, staff and customers are all crucial for us to work effectively. We’ll create a PR strategy to focus our efforts, making sure that the coverage we achieve for you is right for what you need and serves an overarching purpose.
The fundamental principles of PR are paramount. The stories we create will be relevant, well-researched and able to bear up to scrutiny. We’re not interested in creating flim-flam and nonsense.
Everything we do will complement and further your brand. We’ll become its guardian, defending its reputation and cementing its standing amongst your audience. All media communications will come through us, and nothing will get worked on without your approval.

PR FAQs
Why you should use PR instead of advertising.
By virtue of it having to be good enough to convince a team of journalists and editors of its merits, PR coverage is much more credible than an advertised message.
Readers, viewers and listeners pay far more attention to editorial content. Where advertisements are often either glossed over or completely ignored, pieces resulting from a good PR agency’s work are voiced by journalists themselves.
They often include further interviews and analysis, resulting in balanced, trustworthy articles that audiences can depend upon for reliable information, rather than being suspicious of a one-sided perspective.
Is PR still important in the era of AI search?
Yes, and possibly even more so. AI platforms, search engines and social feeds all rely on trusted sources. Strong PR creates the citations and brand signals that these engines draw on when answering people’s questions.

The differences between B2C and B2B PR.
B2C (business to consumer) and B2B (business to business) PR are the key veins of approaching different audiences. The type we use depends on your business and whose attention it needs to attract.
B2C PR is about talking to the general public, either at large or with a specific interest. It might be to showcase a new product, give advice or highlight an issue. It involves a wide range of media outlets, from national newspapers and television to niche websites. It’s also common to team up with other experts or influencers, to boost a campaign’s clout amongst a particular audience.
By contrast, B2B PR is about communication from one business to another, within trade media. As well as news of expansions, services and products, it often focuses on issues affecting a particular industry – both your own and others that are affected. Targeting the latter is known as vertical PR.
What is a PR thought leader?
Thought leadership is a type of PR that concentrates on building your reputation as an expert, and dispensing that knowledge and advice to your market, in both trade and vertical trades.
A thought leader is someone who can give advice and guidance, inspire change and start discussions based on their knowledge. It’s your experience that underpins your authority and gives the audience reason to trust your judgement. The more trust is placed in you, the greater the influence your words can have.
Thought leadership PR can take the form of a newspaper or magazine column, a blog on your own website or as a guest on another. It can be a quote within a topical news article, or it can be a broadcast interview. What matters is relevancy and building your profile.
