About Us

Public perception of your brand has never been so important. The advent of social media means that one bad customer experience can be shared with the world within minutes, impacting reputation, brand and potentially your bottom line.

Who you choose to manage your PR is one of the most important business decisions you can take.

That’s true whether you’re a start-up or a more established company and with more than 25 years combined experience across tech PR, consumer PR and corporate PR, we have the experience and expertise to deliver the right PR strategy for you.

Building relationships is at the heart of what we do. Understanding our clients’ business and applying that knowledge to deliver impactful communications is dependent on successful relationships with media and clients alike.

We realise that many businesses don’t have the budget to buy big agency PR consultancy but at Rise PR we can offer big agency experience combined with a personal approach, tailored to meet your specific needs.
