Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is PR, and how will it grow my business?
Great question, and if you are a new business without a marketing team yet one that is right to ask! PR (Public Relations) is the strategic process of managing how your brand is perceived by the public and media. Unlike advertising (which is paid), PR focuses on earned media—securing credible, third-party validation through news articles, features, and expert quotes. This builds vital authority and trust, which are the cornerstones of long-term business growth and organic brand recognition.
How is modern PR different from Advertising?
Advertising allows you to control the message and placement (paid space). PR focuses on credibility and influence (earned space). When a respected journalist or industry publication covers your story, that endorsement carries significantly more weight and authenticity than an advert. We focus on crafting narratives that media wants to share, making your message more impactful.
How long should we expect to wait before we see measurable PR results?
PR is a long-term strategy built on consistency and reputation, not an immediate sales tool. While some quick wins (like a successful press release pickup) can happen early, truly measurable, impactful results—such as sustained media relationships, securing high-tier coverage, or shifting public perception—typically take 3 to 6 months to fully establish. We work closely with you to set realistic milestones.
Does your PR service include crisis management support?
Yes, absolutely. Proactive crisis preparedness is a crucial component of our PR service. We develop clear communication strategies and messaging plans to help you prepare for, and effectively manage, negative press or unforeseen events. Should a crisis occur, we provide immediate, expert counsel to mitigate damage, maintain transparency, and protect your brand's reputation..

It makes a huge difference knowing you can confidently
hand a piece of work over to someone who will manage
it effectively and deliver as expected.
For me, Rachel Kitson is that go-to person. Her wealth of experience makes her a safe pair of hands and her calm, professional approach makes her a pleasure to work with. She is detailed, strategic and reliable.
In my time as Head of Marketing Content for Coventry University, Rachel supported us to deliver a range of services and time sensitive projects. She was able to drive progress and collaborate with stakeholders to successfully achieve the (often challenging) goals we set.
