Introducing Amy Dawson, a PR consultant specialising in copywriting and research reports for UK businesses
Suffolk based freelance PR with UK-wide reach
“I’ve always loved working in PR. There’s a real adrenaline rush that comes from jumping into new projects and working in completely different sectors. I learn something new from every single client, and I love becoming a part of their team”
I’m Amy Dawson, founder of Gatekeeper Communications, where I help UK SMEs turn expertise into influence through a perfect blend of PR, copywriting and original research.
Located on the outskirts of Ipswich and Colchester, I specialise in strategic PR and copywriting solutions for local SMEs and national brands.
So, what does this look like in practice? That’s easy. It means I tell your stories and connect you with potential new customers through a combination of press activity, SEO-led website copy and blog posts, and original research reports and white papers.
I’m the extra pair of hands that you’re looking for to manage your PR and marketing in full, or to be an extra resource for your time-strapped in-house team.
But beyond all of that, here’s the real reason why you want to work with me.
I want to make your PR and content work as hard as you do. With my help, you can free up your time (and headspace) so you can focus on other activities, knowing that everything else is happening on time, and on budget.


Why you should work with Amy for your PR, copy and reports
As your freelance PR and Ipswich copywriter, I’m the person you can rely on to become your ideas partner. I’ve a proven track record in securing media coverage for clients, and for writing copy which hits the top of the Google search rankings and gets your business featured in AI overviews.
But you deserve more than that.
You should be working with an external freelance contractor who is always looking one step beyond your initial brief. Someone who questions, “How can we make that bigger?” and “What new opportunities can we make from this?”.
I specialise in making your budget stretch as far as possible. That could be through repurposing a blog idea into an article pitch for a specific publication or identifying research gaps where you can become an authoritative voice.
My unique blend of PR, copywriting and report writing services means that I can combine it all together so that you get the most bang for your buck.
My approach allows you to scale up your support as required
My approach to working with Ipswich businesses and national brands is to prioritise flexibility and agility. My services can be mix and matched; each provides tangible benefits individually as well as combining perfectly for enhanced support.
Clients can choose to work with my through ad-hoc, one-off projects or long-term retained agreements. I’m thrilled that many of my longest-standing clients have worked with me for more than five years, and I’m still as excited by the work we do today as I was back then.
I want you to benefit from affordable PR solutions, and cost-effective copywriting. You shouldn’t be held back from making progress because your budgets are smaller than other brands. Nor should you be struck, struggling to get to make the most of your marketing when I can manage that stress for you.
Whether you’re a small business in Suffolk, or an established brand, my role is to bring new insight into your campaigns, ensuring that your messaging feels completely at home with your audience, and that your stories sound like you.
