PR for brilliant small businesses

PR that works

Want to get people talking about your business when you’re not in the room?

Build trust and credibility in your brand?

Attract new clients - and boost your SEO?

Based in York, I’m an NCTJ-qualified journalist and PR specialist for small businesses.

Who I help

I support a wide range of clients across Yorkshire and the UK. I offer down-to-earth advice and PR support while bringing more than 25 years’ of expertise in the media.

I work with everyone from physiotherapists and artists to restaurant owners and employee engagement consultants.

I also offer an extra pair of hands to PR agencies, writing press releases and thought leadership articles, and pitching journalists.

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.”

“Linda demystified the complex world of PR.

She is incredibly well connected with editors. Within a day of submitting a pitch to the Yorkshire Post, I was scheduled for an interview. That led to a full feature article (with a front cover mention!). 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.”
