BALLYHOO PR, a PR and copywriting business in Corby, is celebrating its first birthday.
The company, which operates out of Corby Enterprise Centre, has good reason to celebrate, too. During the last year, Ballyhoo PR has carried out work for around 40 different clients across a wide range of industries, winning PR coverage in trade, regional, national and international press.
Emma Speirs, Director of Ballyhoo PR, has also spoken at various business events to educate business owners on how they can use PR to raise their profile and grow their business, helped to launch the Corby Business Network networking group, and held free one-to-one consultations for start-ups wanting to learn more about PR.
“I have always been passionate about sharing the stories of small to medium-sized businesses,” said Emma.
“We have so many hidden gems in Northamptonshire – and the wider UK for that matter – in terms of fascinating business characters, success stories and innovative products, but so many of them don’t publicise their activity for fear of doing it wrong or thinking that PR is a luxury only afforded by large corporates. I set up Ballyhoo PR with the vision of making PR affordable and championing the successes of smaller businesses. Local businesses in particular have really embraced this, as well as a handful of companies outside of the county.
“The last year has been jam-packed. I have supported some micro businesses with ad-hoc press releases, brochure writing and web content and worked on some big PR campaigns and events for regular retainer clients.
“The bulk of the work has come through referrals too, which tells me that Ballyhoo PR is doing something right.”
