About Me
I can cater for all your public relations and marketing needs, from producing company brochures and newsletters to securing press coverage, ensuring that your company stands out from the crowd. Whether drafting a press release or creating a 30 page brochure for your company I always deliver the very highest quality at competitive prices
As a trained journalist I know about attention grabbing copy and can always find the angle that makes a story. I understand what journalists want to write about and I specialize in transforming flat text into tantalizing copy.
I have written for a diverse range of publications from regional newspapers to trade magazines so I know what will make the cut in most newsrooms.
My extensive pr and marketing experience helps me gauge what campaigns will work and what won't so I can get the best out of your business with effective pr and marketing devices.
The services that I offer:
Copy-writing
I know that producing successful company literature is about more than just making it look pretty! The most important aspect about every brochure or newsletter I produce is the text that's written inside. As an NCTJ- trained journalist I can write about anything in an interesting and inspiring way that will keep your audience reading right to the last page.
Design
I am naturally creative and want to make sure that your literature is projecting the right image for your company. Great design is an important part of my overall creative yet structured approach to your business aims. I use my skills and the very latest software to produce innovative eye-catching design which is sure to get your business noticed.
Media Relations
Keeping a positive profile in the press is the cheapest advertising you can acquire. As an ex-journalist, I know the power of good media coverage and know how to ensure your story reaches the top of the press list. I have a strong network of contacts in the regional and national press and will work as hard as I need to to get your company in the spotlight.

Excellent. Has understood our product and is able to write very compelling copy which we have used on our web site.

I think Laura is excellent to work with. I accepted her bid as she responded promptly to my initial message and kept up the communication throughout writing my business plan. I would work with her again and I would recommend her as her work is very good quality.
by Julie W on 21 Nov 2008
I felt that although my pitch was clear and I briefed Laura on the phone, she didn't understand my industry well enough to provide me with what I needed. This may not be the case for other industries as my industry is quite specialist.
Work Experience
I have over eight years experience in public relations, marketing and journalism working with clients in a wide range of sectors including higher education, commercial and residential property development, technology and charities.
