Results-driven strategic PR Consultant: Driving Growth for Sports, Cultural, Lifestyle and Third Sector Organisations #prconsultant #publicrelations

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

2025 was about moving beyond traditional PR and into cultural communications - where sport, identity and community intersect.

From the Pro Am Padel Tour’s nationwide events to the launch of Issey Kyson’s documentary, the focus wasn’t just coverage, but context: positioning brands and events as moments people wanted to engage with.

As budgets tighten and media evolves, relevance matters more than reach alone.

Looking ahead to 2026, I’m excited to work with brands and properties that understand the power of story-led strategy.

Let’s be real - I have the padel bug. 🤭

A little throwback to the Final of the @proampadeltour Creator Cup at @racketeer.club 🎾

2 years ago I picked up my first padel racquet from being an advanced tennis player (bet you didn’t know that about me😉). I was a complete beginner to padel, but feeling having tennis in me did help. Now padel is one of my favourite ways to switch off, have fun and meet amazing people!

It’s a brilliant full-body workout, but for me, the biggest benefit is the joy, laughter and connection. Not every workout needs to be about chasing a PB, sometimes it’s simply about moving, trying something new and doing something you love.

Caught the padel bug? Check out:

🎾 @corkpadeluk – stylish and effective equipment. Having the right racquet has changed the game for me. Their new women’s premium racquet is incredible, great for control at the net, I mean I know we’re near do it justice, but I love it!
🎾 @bullpadel_uk – performance-focused rackets and
👟 @skechersperformance – supportive footwear. If you are playing and don’t have the right footwear it’s so important for gripping performance and as a personal trainer, strength and run coach I know the importance of correct footwear.
👕 @crewclothing – classic sportswear and lifestyle pieces. They fit so well and the quality is 🤌🏼
👚 @pokita_uk – stylish, eye catching and confidence-boosting activewear

Who else is a padel addict? 🎾👇🏽

A great reminder from @bridgetmarch on the power of single-tasking.

Swapping constant multitasking for focused, intentional work can have a real impact on clarity, productivity and overall wellbeing.

The piece explores the cognitive cost of doing too much at once (particularly in your 40s) and highlights how small shifts like reducing distractions, structuring your day and prioritising rest can make a meaningful difference.

Love to see @vital.fizz featured as part of a routine to support calm, sustained energy, with ingredients including lion’s mane, L-theanine and electrolytes.

Thanks to Bridget and the Hello! Mag team for the inclusion 🙌

When it’s been one of those weeks… 🥵😵‍💫 #tgif

You know the ones. Back-to-back meetings, endless to-do lists, busy days and energy levels that need a little extra support.

Thank god for @vital.fizz ✨

A refreshing functional sparkling drink made with electrolytes, adaptogens and nootropics to support hydration, focus and steady energy — without the sugar crash.

Perfect for those long workdays, busy mornings, post-training moments or simply when you need a little reset.

A small ritual that helps me keep going, whatever the week throws my way. by @juliangregorypr

I’ve been helping shape the launch of Dr Jonny’s new skin clinic at @drjb.aesthetics - inspired by a very personal story: supporting his mum through her battle with rosacea.

Seeing that story featured in yesterday’s Mail on Sunday made it an especially meaningful Mother’s Day moment.

PR isn’t dying. It’s evolving. 🔂

Last year I focused less on chasing coverage and more on building moments that travel: across media, social, partnerships and communities.

This is what modern public relations looks like when it’s designed to perform - not just appear 👌

What a way to start the new year! 💥

The Big Issue spotlights Issey Kyson - 17-year-old athlete and campaigner challenging why nearly two-thirds of girls drop out of sport during puberty.

From the documentary Out of the Race to a national schools toolkit reaching over one million pupils, Issey is turning research, lived experience and advocacy into systemic change across education, sport and government.

A powerful example of youth-led leadership driving national impact.

Proud moment reflecting on the media coverage and social buzz around the launch of @isabelle_kyson documentary and the accompanying Central London launch event and expert panel talk.

From shaping the narrative and positioning Issey’s story, to curating the guest list, briefing talent and press, and driving sustained media outreach, my role was to ensure this wasn’t just a one-night moment - but a conversation that travelled far beyond the room.

The results (to date):
📣 Over 3 million people reached through earned media, with long-form, high-credibility coverage across sport, culture and mainstream media.

Key highlights include:
• Mention in The Telegraph Women’s Sport supplement
• 13-minute interview with Naga Munchetty on BBC Radio 5 Live
• 14-minute interview on BBC Radio 4 Woman’s Hour
• 10-minute interview on TalkSport
• Double-page interview in The Red Bulletin
• Double-page interview in Athletics Weekly
• Online feature with Women’s Health

This is a great example of how earned media, when combined with a strong live moment and a clear point of view, can cut through without paid amplification. Huge thanks to everyone who helped transform Issey’s mission into a wider cultural conversation.

On to the next chapter

Still buzzing from the ‘Out of the Race’ launch, seeing @isabelle_kyson’s documentary light up Oxford Street! ✨

Hosted at FLANNELS and supported by Sports Direct, Nike Kids, Youth Sport Trust and AfPE, the evening brought together media, influencers, and community voices to amplify this vital conversation.

The panel, chaired by Ali Oliver MBE, featured inspiring voices including Issey Kyson, Kate Thornton-Bousfield, Anna Kessel MBE, Suzy Levy MBE and Dr Natalie Brown - sharing insights on why so many girls drop out of sport during puberty and what needs to change.

Proud to have helped shape the launch, from producing the panel talk and overseeing content, to driving nationwide media coverage.

This movement has momentum! 💪

@isabelle_kyson is on a mission to change the game for girls in sport 💪

In her latest feature with @redbulletin, the 17-year-old athlete and campaigner opens up about breaking barriers and helping more teenage girls stay active through puberty.

Next up, she’s launching a first-of-its-kind Toolkit, developed with @afpe_pe, that will reach 20,000 educators across the UK, empowering schools to create environments where every girl feels seen, supported, and unstoppable.

Because when girls stay in sport, everyone wins.
