If I was Your PR Agency

Hi there,

Happy Monday! How was your weekend, I am full of cold so it was a quiet one but super cosy despite another storm battering the coast here in Devon! You?

December might already feel like a whirlwind, but there’s still time to grab some fantastic PR opportunities and make a real impact before the year ends and I’m still chasing Santa to secure those last-minute festive wins.

Christmas Gift Guides

If you’ve missed out so far, don’t worry! There are still journalists and online platforms looking for last-minute features, including me with my YOMU editor hat on (but more on that later in the week). Think about:

• Gift ideas for the super-organised or last-minute shoppers.
• Products with a compelling backstory or unique angle (perfect for human-interest stories).
• Stocking fillers, wellness products, or New Year essentials.

The key here is to act fast. Make sure you have high-quality images ready, a short description of your product, and a link to where it can be purchased. If You Are an Expert...

December isn’t just about products; it’s also a prime time for expert voices to shine. With the news cycle buzzing, journalists are actively seeking thought leaders to provide commentary, insights, and advice.

This morning, for example, I’ve already secured a slot for one of my clients to discuss AI innovations, going live tomorrow, and I’ve pitched two more as the experts they are. That’s the power of being ready, relevant, and positioned by your PR agency.

Here’s how you can maximise your chances this season:

• Offer seasonal advice: Does your expertise tie into festive stress, end-of-year finances, wellness, or New Year planning?
• Be proactive: Spot what’s trending and pitch your unique angle. Journalists love experts who can add real value.
• Stay timely: Topics like tech, sustainability, and 2024 trends are particularly hot right now.

Being an expert isn’t just about what you know, it’s about how you position yourself, so let me know if you need help crafting a pitch that lands.
