    "The course really made me look at PR differently and how to come at it from a business point of view not just a reader. This course not only gave me the insight, but also the confidence to go to editors/ journalists to start showcasing what I have to offer as a business and person. This course is a great place to kick start your PR skills!” - Kate Auguste, founder of mi apparel, leading sustainable fashion campaigner and student.

    “It’s such a well thought out course. The progression is gradual and very manageable if you have a busy schedule. Feedback is given with every submission. Every lesson gives you key information to help you understand the process of PR, contacting the correct journalists and creating a press release. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it.” - Tanya, founder of Naturally Naked Co and student

I started my career at the UK’s first-ever digital PR agency, where I worked high-calibre clients such as Sony Music, Warner Bros., and Twentieth Century, as well as independent film companies and record labels. I then spent seven years in the charity sector, where I delivered numerous press campaigns for charities such as the British Red Cross and Comic Relief. What’s more, I've helped small businesses, politicians, charity-corporate partnerships, festivals, and consumer brands meet their strategic goals by developing and delivering campaigns in the UK and overseas.
