Tonight I spoke to Emma Speirs, Director and Owner of Ballyhoo PR based in Corby, Northants about PR.

This is Emma's profile on her Linked In account.

I am passionate about all things PR and writing. I love meeting with new clients and finding out about their business, products, services and industry and helping them to tell their story.

I have 15 years of PR and copywriting experience, working for advertising and PR agencies and in in-house PR departments at a number of companies. I have also edited various business to business magazines and managed the social media accounts of several firms.

After spending years handling the PR activity for companies that included a leading national housebuilder, SATRA Technology Centre and Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce, I decided to set up Ballyhoo PR to offer small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) cost-effective PR and copywriting services that can help them to share their story and raise their profile.

Ballyhoo PR was established in May 2016 and has really taken off! I am flexible and able to create bespoke PR plans for SMEs who are on a budget but have a desire for regular, good quality PR activity and can also provide traditional retainers for larger companies or those that can't commit to employing a full-time PR or marcomms member of staff.
