What we do

With over 20 years’ experience in PR, marketing and journalism Sarah and Mark have cultivated enduring relationships with key industry figures in both the trade and consumer media. 

From national newspapers to influencers, consumer magazines to retail B2B titles, PR Direct has the knowledge and experience to best present your brand to the right audience. We work closely with all the major TV production companies to secure equipment – and brand presence – on key food shows (and increasingly films too!)

At PR Direct we are always ahead of the curve, making sure your brand gets the best media reach, whether consumer or trade. We've taken the same approach to digital marketing to ensure that both your activity and budget is maximised for the best reach – and the best business impact.

We start by understanding your business requirements and where you are on your digital journey. We bring our industry and marketing knowledge together to build the best approach for you. Whether you need some strategic planning or someone managing your social media accounts day-to-day we can help.

Using our experience we can ensure content is creative, consistent and its use is maximised across all relevant channels. This includes PR, as well as your own digital channels. We can assist you with your digital marketing as much or as little as you'd like. If you want to let us run it all to the plan we can! You’ll be leaving it in safe hands, we'll act as your brand and manage your budget as if it's our own and let you know results and progress regularly.

With journalism at our roots, communication is second nature to how we present ourselves and represent our clients. 

Specialists in both B2B and B2C communications, we are well-equipped to post, manage and review all manner of content across all social media channels. We produce powerful lead-generating content on a variety of social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Twitter.  

Here’s more on what we offer: 

• Measurement of key metrics and audience assessment
• Audience-tailored campaigns and promotion to generate maximum engagement from your core markets
• The ability to reach your KPIs, from improving website traffic to brand preference
• Our knowledge of and access to key influencers and media, allowing exposure on numerous blogs and digital publications

In this ever-changing PR space, it’s no surprise that key influencers are becoming a powerful channel in their own right. 

Our connections with carefully selected influencers within the home and related lifestyle sectors, are key to placing your product in the spotlight. This ensures your message is out there with the right people at the right time for your brand.

Planning logistical management of your event can seem overwhelming at a distance – we understand that from being there ourselves!

On behalf of clients we have organised many high profile events like:
 

• Christmas in July 
• Grand Designs Live
• Ideal Home Show
• Trade events 

Involvement in these events has allowed us to successfully connect key media, consumers and retailers with our clients, giving brand exposure and fostering enduring relationships. In addition we can create individual events, attracting relevant influential media. 

From celebrating a ground-breaking innovation to the introduction of a new product, PR Direct can shine a spotlight on your brand. 

We have worked with fantastic event spaces like Ice Tank, Divertimenti Cookery School and The RSA Vaults in London, tailoring each event to the needs of both the brands and their audience. Whether you’re focused on developing awareness with retailers or looking to influence consumers, PR Direct has the event strategy for you. Or if you prefer to explore a digital event, let’s discuss that!
