If I Was You PR Agency.......

Happy Monday!

How was your weekend? I hope it was a good one. If you were near the coast like me, how about those waves!

We’re in the last week of the month, and while many see it as a countdown to February, I see it as an opportunity to reflect, refine, and recharge. Let’s face it, January has felt like a year in itself ??

If I was your PR agency, here’s what I’d recommend focusing on this week:

Celebrate Your Wins

Take a moment (or ten) to recognise what’s gone well this month. Maybe it was a great month for press mentions (we’ve had plenty), connecting with key journalists, or nailing your pitches. Every success, no matter how small, deserves a cheer. At NTP, we’re known for getting the pom poms out and celebrating every win.

Set Your February Goals

PR is a long game, but every month counts, so ask yourself:

• Where do I want to show up next month?
• What story do I need to tell?
• Who do I need to connect with to make it happen?

Show Up and Speak Out

Visibility isn’t just about press. It’s about being where your audience is:

• Speak on stages (like I’ll be doing in Belfast at WE Believe 2025).
• Guest on podcasts to share your expertise.
• Attend networking events, even virtual ones.

These opportunities are game changers for your credibility, connections, and brand awareness.

Stuck for Content?

If I was your PR agency, you wouldn’t be—but let me help you out.

Lunar New Year (Wednesday, 29 January): Also known as Chinese New Year, this marks the start of the lunar calendar and is celebrated by millions worldwide. It’s a time of family reunions, feasting, and cultural festivities. 2025 is the Year of the Snake, so shimmy into the spotlight and explore where you can shine in the press.

National Storytelling Week is next week so get ahead and celebrates the tradition of storytelling and encourages people to share their stories. It’s the perfect chance to engage your audience with narratives related to your brand or personal experiences.

So remember, your story matters, let’s make sure it’s heard.

Have a fantastic week and keep an eye on those storms!
