Writing effective web copy is harder than you may think. Unlike traditional printed media, such as brochures, people tend to skim read online content, searching for words that appeal to them.

The secret to success in PR is to make life easy for journalists.

The media is flooded every day by thousands of press releases, so how can you make yours stand out above the rest?

Your PR agency is only as good as the content it writes. If you can’t get the right messages across in the right way, you might as well not invest in PR at all.

Broadcast coverage is undoubtedly the best way for your company to reach millions of viewers and listeners and gain widespread exposure.

Optimise your website for people – not just search engines.
