Who the PR Power Hour is for

The PR Power Hour is designed for SMEs in Suffolk who know visibility and credibility matter but feel stuck on how to approach PR in a practical, repeatable way. It is for people who want to be more proactive with PR but do not have in-house expertise or the confidence to know whether they are focusing on the right things.

This session works particularly well if you want to upskill yourself or your team, double-check your ideas, and build a clearer PR approach without committing to ongoing support.

The PR Power Hour is for business owners and marketing leads who:

  • Know PR matters, but you’re unsure how to approach it
  • Have some ideas, but do not know which ones are worth pitching
  • Have tried PR before without results and want a clearer approach
  • Want to handle your PR yourself in-house but need expert direction
  • Need some training to upskill new members of your team

If you want reassurance, structure and practical next steps without committing to a PR retainer, this hour is designed for you.

Understand why PR is so important for your business

What makes this PR power hour different to PR training sessions?

Focused around your needs

This is not a generic PR workshop or a high-level strategy talk. It is a focused, practical session built around the real PR challenges small businesses in Ipswich face, including not knowing what is newsworthy, feeling unsure about pitching and struggling to turn everyday activity into credible media stories.

Giving you direction

The PR Power Hour is designed to give you specific direction, not generic theory. You will work on your real business, your real ideas and your real constraints, with expert guidance that explains what you need to do, how you can do it, and why you should do it.

Creating repeatable processes

The aim is to help you see what matters, what to ignore, and how to approach PR with confidence. You will leave with a clear angle, a realistic media direction and a repeatable way of thinking about PR that you can apply again and again.

Not sure PR strategy is what you need right now?

If your challenge is more about knowing what to write and how to structure your content, you may find my Blog Writing Power Hour more useful. It is designed to help small businesses create clearer, more confident blog content that builds trust and demonstrates expertise.

If you are still exploring how PR works or want to learn at your own pace, you can also browse my PR resources for small businesses.

Frequently asked Questions

Yes. The PR Power Hour works very well for people who are new to PR or who have never followed a structured approach. The PR Foundations option is specifically designed to help you understand what counts as newsworthy, how PR actually works in practice and where to start without feeling overwhelmed.

You do not need any prior PR experience. The session is paced around your starting point and focuses on giving you clarity and confidence, not jargon or theory.

Yes. This is a working session, not a talk. During the hour, we will actively shape something useful together. This could be a PR angle, an outline pitch, a headline direction, positioning language, or a clear structure for how to approach your next piece of PR activity.

The aim is for you to leave with something concrete and usable, along with the thinking behind it, so that you can repeat the process confidently afterwards.

It sits between the two but leans much more towards practical training. You are not just told what to do, and it is not a generic advice call. Instead, we work through your real situation together, so you learn by doing.

You will understand not only what decisions to make, but why they matter and how to apply the same thinking to future PR activity.

Very little. You will be asked to complete a short questionnaire in advance so I can understand your business, your goals, and where you feel stuck. This allows us to use the time efficiently and focus on the right area straight away.

You do not need to prepare pitches, press releases or documents unless you want to bring something specific to work on.

After the session, you will receive a written summary covering the key points we discussed, the decisions made and clear next steps. This helps you put what we covered into practice without relying on memory or notes.

Some people use the PR Power Hour as a one-off confidence boost. Others use it as a starting point before deciding whether they want additional support. There is no expectation to continue beyond the hour.

The PR Power Hour is designed to give you clarity and confidence quickly, without committing to ongoing support. Instead of outsourcing PR, the session helps you understand what is worth doing, how to approach it, and where to focus your time.

It is ideal if you want expert guidance and structure while still planning to handle some or all PR activity in-house.

Yes. The PR Power Hour works well for small teams, particularly where responsibility for PR or marketing is shared. Multiple attendees can join the same session, so you are aligned on priorities, language and next steps.

Discounted rates are available for two or three people attending together.

Yes. The PR Power Hour does not replace your marketing strategy. It complements it. The session focuses specifically on PR and media visibility, helping you understand how to turn existing activity, insight or launches into credible coverage.

Many clients use the hour to sense check ideas or strengthen the PR strand of their wider marketing plans.
