PR that gets you noticed

Image: Justina Maiz Casas

I’m Linda - a PR and communications consultant, journalist and ghostwriter with more than 25 years' experience in media.

I know what makes a story stand out and what journalists want to hear - and I can spot a great PR opportunity a mile off.

As a former national newspaper journalist, I help businesses, charities and organisations to tell their stories and attract new customers.

I have a natural interest in working with the wellbeing, professional services and hospitality sectors plus the creative industries.

Maybe it’s my Yorkshire roots, but I'm a big believer that PR needs to earn its keep. That means no unnecessary jargon or boring press releases. Just clever ideas, great writing, honest advice and plenty of hard work.

Clients have appeared in The Daily Telegraph, Sunday Times, Daily Express, The Sun, Hello!, Happiful magazine, Saga, The Yorkshire Post and Yorkshire Life magazine plus on BBC Radio.

I also support PR and internal comms agencies who need to parachute in a creative and hard-working professional as an extension to their team.

How I can help

Testimonials

  • “Working with Linda is a dream. I know I can ask her to jump on a call with a client, and after a 20-minute friendly chat, we'll have a gold nugget of an idea that she can go away and turn into sparkling prose. All my clients love her, and they're in awe of the brilliant work that she produces. I would heartily recommend Linda to anyone who's looking for great writing from someone who always meets agreed deadlines.”
