Three things we do best, and run for you.

Take one on its own or run them together as a single plan, with one monthly report.

PR and publicity

Press releases, media pitching and coverage in local papers, radio and TV. Every newsroom gets hundreds of releases a week and uses almost none. We write the ones that get used, because we have sat on the desk that bins the rest.

Social media content

Strategy, content calendars, captions and reels for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn and Pinterest. We write it and run it for you, month after month, so your business stays in the feed without you living in it.

Podcasts, video and media training

Podcasts, audio and video made to broadcast standard, from concept to audience growth. Plus coaching for you and your team so you sound and look right on radio, TV, camera and in print. Taught by someone who has done it live for 25 years.

Why a broadcaster runs your PR.

Twenty-five years of live radio and television teaches one rule: earn attention or lose it, every day, in front of millions. It is the rule behind every plan we build, whether the audience is a national network or the readers of your local paper.

Five ARIA awards. Two Sony Radio Academy Awards. Two New York Programming Awards.

Liesl injects energy and humour into broadcasts… she is creative and radical with her ideas, works brilliantly under pressure, and shows strong leadership skills.
