@ Public Relations - Working in partnership to help your business do more business

Welcome to @ Public Relations

Jargon and confusing marketing speak. So annoying aren’t they? Particularly when used by people trying to sell you something. And especially so when they’re offering PR and marketing services. Both are important business tools that should be steeped in strong, clear communication.

I’ve been in communications long enough to know it’s really not that complicated. In fact anyone can do PR. It’s just that most people are too busy doing their job, meeting targets, making their business run more effectively, trying to survive. Or they have no interest in doing themselves.

So why try to complicate something simple? I work to make my clients’ lives easier by taking the hassle out of their PR function. Everything I do is underpinned by a thorough knowledge of how journalists work: what they want and when they want it, both in print and broadcasting. I use this to give creative, expert, professional, no-nonsense and straightforward support. I work with other consultants, experts in their areas, to give clients the best possible service.

I keep things simple and I do things properly. There’s no point me coming up with pretty campaigns that look good if they don’t bring you more customers, a better image or increased sales.

There’s nothing better than seeing stories I’ve generated newspapers, on the radio, TV or online. And I get a real buzz when clients tell me they’ve had orders because of a brochure, newsletter, website or other piece of communication I’ve produced.

My media relations activities include:

	Proactive press release production and distribution
	Responding to reactive media enquiries
	Securing editorial opportunities
	Placing you, your stories and your expert opinion
	Arrange meetings with influencers on decisions

Additionally, I can help improve your business performance through:

Much as I’d like to be, I’m not an expert in every area of marketing. But when you need wider support I bring in people who I trust to provide expert support. The consultants I use gained their skills working in all sizes of companies from blue-chip to SMEs. Their expertise covers a broad range of marketing disciplines, such as:

	E-marketing
	Print & design
	Marketing strategy
	Media buying

Our combined support means you can concentrate on what you’re best at: running and growing your business. For more information, take a look at my e-brochure.
