We are truly passionate about healthy food and drink PR & digital comms
We have 30 successful years as a Food and Drink PR agency and we have built very strong relationships in this sector with journalists, experts, celebrities, influencers and affiliates.
Alongside our food and drink PR team, we have an in-house nutritionist that can give advice, add quotes to releases and research food & drink trends. We also have dedicated digital experts with a proven record of driving reach, website hits, follower growth and engagement for our clients.
We are here to build a brand’s visibility and authority by building long-lasting relationships and connections with customers and creating meaningful and memorable conversations.
We cut through the media clutter and, whether you’re a market leader or challenger brand, we’re so confident in our ability to raise your profile and lift sales that we guarantee KPIs.
As a food and drink PR agency, our approach is meticulous, creative and knowledgeable and we always work within set budgets.
We specialise in four sectors: healthy food and drink, natural health, natural beauty and natural lifestyle. All complement each other making us one of the best food and drink PR agencies in the UK and giving us contact with a very wide range of journalists, influencers, experts and affiliates that we can present your products and services to.
We have made it our business to know what type of stories they write and the subjects that they are interested in. We follow the food and drink PR media and consumer trends and know what brand messages will trigger each demographic to purchase in this sector.
