Ok first things first re the below, one thing I am not sure I actually am is a ‘web genius!’ What I am good at is building good-looking websites and bringing to bear all my background in magazines, photoshoots and copy to really make the website look slick! Still, obviously I had to share this testimonial…
(Photos: courtesy of Obradovic photography) For the past three months, I’ve been working on the publicity for the Good Life Experience festival. In all, I secured the event and its organisers, Cerys Matthews and the Gladstone family, over 60 pieces of coverage, including national newspapers and glossy magazines, television, radio, local press and online coverage.…
I’ve loved working with Lizzie King on her new website www.lizzieloveshealthy.com Lizzie has built up a huge following of over 10,000 people in Instagram through posting her quick and easy gluten, sugar and dairy free family meals on the social network. Yet she had no way to convert the interest in her and her recipes into…
I’ve had a fantastic run of coverage for Cerys Matthews, the Gladstone family and their Good Life Experience festival of music, food and the great outdoors, including articles in the Telegraph, Financial Times, Mail on Sunday and Times, as well as plenty of magazines and local media including newspapers and radio. But getting a client…
And 1000 per cent better than her old one. (OK, so the 1000 per cent statistic is more the ‘Simon Cowell’ use of the phrase than actual maths, but there is no doubt Zita West’s website video – filmed and edited by, me, naturally – kicks her old one into the dust.) The previous video will…
I’ve been working for the Gladstone family and Cerys Matthews doing publicity for their Good Life Experience festival, since July. The festival is next weekend, and so far we’ve had almost 50 pieces of coverage published and another 20 to come out! Ticket sales are double what they were for the same period last year…
I love it when a hugely successful and inspirational female entrepreneur offers a glimpse into her mindset, and Natalie Massenet, founder of Net-A-Porter.com has done exactly that today. Stepping down from the company she founded 15 years ago, she has talked about her desire to start a new chapter in her life and also laid…
It is say pictures speak louder than words! So in a very brief post, I’ll leave you with this tweet by Jeremy Vine about – me! YIPPEE!!!
When you’re creating content for your website, it’s always nice when people leave a comment telling you what they think of your site or your post. Although on certain websites (ie, the Daily Mail and Facebook) it’s the norm for people to leave comments, on others people just aren’t in ‘comment mode’ as they browse,…
I’ve loved working with the hugely talented and downright lovely Jeremy Vine on his website. The idea was to have a magazine-style site that showcases Jeremy’s diverse talents and offerings, but that is also a place for him to blog and share the content that he creates. The site is clean, crisp and minimalist, and…
Plenty of people I know are (quite rightly because it’s important) making or getting made videos for their business or personal brand. And some of them really need to stop right now! Because whilst we all know that video is increasingly important for standing out and showcasing ourselves or our personal brand, crap videos won’t…
I’ve been working with Sky News’ Samantha Simmonds on her website and publicity. This is what she said about me. My website designed by Natasha has been more than just a calling card – it has helped generate publicity – and has raised my profile. Thanks to Natasha’s strategies, I have had coverage in national newspapers…
I’m not going to join in the endless debate about website homepages because in my mind, a lot about design is subjective and there are no right or wrong answers! However, if you’re considering your website homepage, how it should look, what content it might have, what images you should use and generally what works and…
(Photos: courtesy of Obradovic photography) I’m loving doing the publicity for Cerys Matthews and the Gladstone family, who together are running the Good Life Experience festival of food, culture and the great outdoors this September. And what is best of all is seeing the publicity I’ve secured starting to be published.
I teach my clients how to use content to become thought-leaders or to drive their own publicity. By publishing articles, videos, research, or any other form of original content regularly, potential clients and members of your industry begin associating you and/or your brand with insightful ideas and regarding you/your company as authoritative and having expert…
I first started working with talented sisters-in-law, Louisa and Sal, who make and curate beautiful jewellery, principally using semi-precious gems, silver, gold and freshwater pearls, a few months ago. The idea was to revamp their ecommerce store, take them out of their comfort zone and help them propel their business to the next level. Although…
