It feels like it was only a couple of months ago that we last wrote this review, looking back on a year of our favourite and not so favourite attempts at good and bad PR by other UK businesses. So here goes…

There was a time when every brand and their neighbour seemed to be commissioning surveys. Headlines like “One in five people admit to eating toast in the shower!” might have been a story once. But is this tactic still worth using if you’re planning your next PR campaign?

If you’ve ever flicked through a magazine and spotted a skincare product in the editor’s picks, noticed a handbag in a style feature, or seen a particular brand on your favourite TV drama, you’ve probably witnessed product placement.

Sometimes you just have to practice what you preach to your clients and undertake media interviews as well, so in the ultimate role reversal we are excited to reveal that Purely Public Relations has hit the airwaves and appeared on the Matthew Cox Enterprise podcast.

Here are two words that get mentioned regularly: thought leadership. So what is it, why should you do it and how do you do it? Well don’t fear, we’re here to help myth bust once again for you, so let’s dive right in.

Sound the klaxon! It’s been an exciting start to the last quarter of 2025 for Purely Public Relations, as we are thrilled to announce the start of a relationship with the new Crawley Innovation Centre, based in the Manor Royal business district.

We all know the saying, a picture speaks a thousand words, but in PR, a great image can be worth standout media coverage and social media engagement. Whether you’re launching a product or service, announcing a partnership or pitching a human-interest story, strong photography and compelling visuals can make or break your campaign’s visibility. Here’s what makes imagery truly effective in PR and how to ensure yours hits the mark.

In the world of public relations (PR), you sometimes need to rely on a strong spokesperson to help make your news story fly. In fact, it can make such a impact that it can sometimes mean the difference between whether a journalist runs your story or not, and where the story might be positioned.

Let’s be honest, we’ve all been there. You’ve been asked to present some new creative ideas to the boss, client or colleagues, and you’ve got nothing. Zero, nada, diddly squat!
