Ready to raise your profile and build trust in your brand?
Strategic thought leadership articles can build a strong, consistent narrative around your brand and position you as the ‘go-to’ expert in your sector. If you’re an SME, this helps your brand to stand out in a competitive market while attracting new clients and growing your business.
Meanwhile, strong articles, profiles and features can create a buzz around your service or product or create credibility when talking to investors.
Creating consistent media visibility is where the magic happens to support your commercial goals.
PR also boosts your SEO. And as it’s earned media, it’s free (unlike adverts) - plus it gives you regular, original content for your social media.
With a background in journalism, I’m particularly skilled at identifying the story angles that will land in the press, and matching these with my network of media contacts.
My style is friendly, practical and honest - and I love seeing my clients flourish and grow.
“Linda immediately understood the angle we needed and brought the story to life in a way that exceeded all expectations.
The results were incredible. Multiple journalists picked up the story, and we were even invited to speak live on BBC Radio York.”
- Elaine Morris, executive coach and founder of Curious Edge

"The Power Hour was a game changer.
Linda and I spent an hour discussing my ideas and what I'd like to do/ the types of places I'd like to be featured and why. In the hour, she gave me some really simple ideas that I could run with instantly. Afterwards, she sent a full write up detailing everything we discussed - and she even gave me a few more things to consider.
It's brilliant value and I'm now no longer daunted by the idea of doing PR myself. So much so that I've been included as a contributor to a couple of articles in my top two publications already, and have been asked to write a short feature as well!"
- Fliss Lee, brand coach and strategist for creative freelancers and founders
