Pick my brains with a 1:1 PR Power Hour.
If you're a founder who's ever thought, 'I wouldn't know where to start' or 'PR seems so overwhelming' - this is for you.
60 minutes of honest, creative and practical DIY PR ideas to help you get the right message out to the right journalists to grow your business.
With a proven track record of getting founders in the press!
As a journalist with more than 25 years' experience working in media, I've written for The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, Metro and loads of women's magazines.
I’m particularly skilled at teasing out the right stories that will land in the press - and working out how to tell them and who to tell them to.
Today, through strategic PR and thought leadership, I demystify the process and help you to build authority in the press - and attract new clients.
PR can feel unknown and overwhelming. Not ideal when you're approaching journalists about your business...
To give you an idea of what we can cover in your hour, here are a few of the things founders often work through with me:
• Finding multiple story ideas in your business that will land - which you're already sitting on
• Talking about your business in a way that feels natural and comfortable to help establish you as the trusted voice in your sector
• How to write a press release or email pitch - including what to include and how to structure it
• Advice on which publications and journalists to approach, and their contact details
• Building confidence to contact editors
• An Action Plan to clearly show you exactly what to focus on and what your next steps are.
How it works
Fill out a few quick questions about your business and PR goals.
I research the best angles and titles, all tailored to your goals and timings.
We have our 60-minute Zoom call to get clear on exactly what your next steps should be.
You get a PR Action Plan emailed to you after the call, including tailored actions, ideas and resources.
You won't be left alone to put your plan into action. You can email me for two weeks after the call for direct feedback - as often as you like. I'll answer any questions, and help to keep you motivated and on track.
Plus: A catch up call after two weeks. A quick check-in to see how you're getting on - and help you celebrate your success!
"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. And then 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
"As someone unaccustomed to promoting themself, this session was the perfect intro to PR as a tool to grow both my profile and my business.
“My PR Power Hour was filled with top tips and insights, which Linda shared in her characteristically friendly and accessible style. One of the key takeaways was not to underestimate the importance of my story and what’s unique to me."
- Clare Geldart, interior designer and Founder of The Grey House Yorkshire.
"As a new mother-daughter jewellery brand, we knew we had an exciting story to tell, but Linda helped us identify the angles that would genuinely resonate with journalists and customers alike.
Linda guided us through how to structure our media pitch, shared a fantastic list of relevant press contacts, and gave us practical advice on what would grab editors’ attention. Rather than sending a generic press release, we came away with a much stronger story that highlighted our journey from launching NinetyOne just six months earlier to securing a coveted pop-up in John Lewis Newcastle.
The results exceeded our expectations. Within a week, we’d secured coverage in The Chronicle, Gazette & Herald, York Press, Handpicked Local, YorkMix, The Northern Echo and Yorkshire Times, giving us fantastic visibility ahead of the pop-up and helping us share our story with thousands of potential customers.
Linda is incredibly knowledgeable, generous with her expertise and genuinely invested in helping small businesses succeed.
The session was packed with practical, actionable advice that we were able to implement immediately, and the results speak for themselves. We couldn’t have asked for a better return from just one hour together. Thank you so much, Linda!"
- Emma Lindsay, co-founder of NinetyOne Jewellery
"Linda gave me the encouragement, professionalism and insight to put myself out to the press.
I’m delighted with press coverage from BBC Radio Leeds, The Yorkshire Evening Post, The Yorkshire Post and The Yorkshire Times. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Linda to anyone and have already done so to several colleagues."
- Lisa Norfolk, Counsellor & Psychotherapist
"Linda has great energy and a calm and reassuring manner that sets you at ease and inspires you with all her ideas and recommendations.”
