Join the waiting list for my online PR course - how to find media-ready stories about your business

Want to get your business featured in the press in Yorkshire - and beyond?

I help ambitious entrepreneurs to get more visible through PR.

Media coverage builds trust and credibility, and makes you stand out. And PR isn’t just for big companies - any business can feature the press.

Let me show you how to reach a whole new audience!

Get more visible

PR isn’t just for big companies.

It’s extremely effective (and cost-effective) for your small business too.

Getting featured in editorial articles in the press is also far more powerful than advertising.

And it’s far less time consuming (and much more rewarding) than creating social media content on repeat.

PR builds your reputation and gives your business credibility.

It can also really supercharge your SEO, and attract investment and new clients, helping your business to grow.

And who wouldn’t want that?

Why work with me?

I’m a trained journalist with more than 25 years of experience as a reporter and feature writer.

I’ve worked in regional and national newspaper newsrooms. I’ve also written for The Guardian, Daily Telegraph and many national magazines.

I now love working with business owners to raise their profile through media coverage.

Think of my role like a matchmaker between your business and journalists. I use my experience to find great story angles in your business (every business has these). And I then connect with the right journalists to get your story out there.

I love doing what I do. It’s hard to beat the buzz of seeing your business name in an article - or making the front cover of a magazine.

I’ve helped businesses to get featured in:

The Yorkshire Post (Features/News/Business/Weekend magazine), Yorkshire Life magazine, The York Press, The Gazette & Herald, House Beautiful magazine, The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Express, The Sun, Saga magazine online, The Scarborough News, The Northern Echo, York Mix, Yorkshire Evening Post (Leeds), Yorkshire Businesswoman magazine, Your Yorkshire Wedding magazine, Handpicked Local, Sussex Living magazine, HR Director magazine, People Management magazine, HR Zone and HR Magazine, among others.

Clients interviewed on BBC Radio York, BBC Radio Sussex, BBC Radio 4 and Marlow FM.

“We know the PR has had an impact and has driven customer interest as customers have told us that they’ve seen the coverage. They’ve also congratulated us on our awards when they’ve visited the restaurant.

We’ve also seen a spike in new customers following all the media attention.

Linda has secured us a range of fantastic PR opportunities, including interviews with BBC Radio York and national coverage in The Sun newspaper.

“We couldn’t have done this without Linda’s expert advice and in-depth knowledge of how the press works.”

Lois Kirtlan | Managing Director at award-winning Yorkshire restaurant, Hetty and Betty

ADVICE AND PR PLANNING SESSION FEEDBACK

“Linda demystified the complex world of PR.

Linda is incredibly well connected with editors and was instrumental in helping me reach out to the appropriate people. She helped me draft a pitch and discussed what to include in initial and follow up emails. Within a day of submitting a pitch to the Yorkshire Post, I was scheduled for an interview.

That interview led to a full feature article (with a front cover mention!) the following week.

It was such an exhilarating experience, which wouldn't have happened without Linda's help. It not only gave my business incredible visibility, I gained a huge amount of confidence to reach out to editors.”

Cher Casey, Founder of The Mindful Organiser, York
