PR That Builds Credibility and Drives Demand
Good PR does more than generate coverage.
It helps people trust you before they enquire, gives your wider marketing more authority, strengthens your visibility online and positions your brand as one worth paying attention to.
Our PR Plan is designed for growing brands that want consistent, journalist-led media coverage without traditional agency retainers.
It is structured, not generic. Low-commitment, not low-strategy. Clear processes keep campaigns organised and commercially sensible, but the positioning, angles and outreach are shaped around each client’s expertise, story, goals and media potential.
Our PR Plan:
Collaborative, journalist-led PR designed to build credibility, secure meaningful earned media coverage, strengthen thought leadership and create long-term authority through expert commentary, founder visibility, story-led outreach and targeted media pitching.
£697 / US$937 per month
PR with a purpose
Strong PR starts before the first pitch is sent.
Before a campaign begins, we build clear campaign direction around your brand, goals, positioning and strongest media opportunities. This gives you a tailored PR proposal, not a generic template, so you can see the recommended strategy, potential angles, target media thinking and how PR could support credibility, authority, visibility and trust from the start.
Every campaign includes journalist-led strategic thinking, tailored angle development and media positioning, so we can understand what makes your brand credible, what you should be known for and what journalists are most likely to care about.
Where it will strengthen the campaign, this may also include a senior Founder & Authority Positioning Session designed to clarify your media positioning, founder story, expert commentary angles, thought leadership themes and long-term authority opportunities.
For real-life, founder or customer stories, we also provide senior journalist-led story support where there is genuine media potential. A senior current or former journalist can help identify the strongest angle, interview the client or story subject, prepare the story in a media-ready format and shape it for outreach.
This helps us create stronger stories, sharper commentary and more meaningful media opportunities from the start.
One PR Plan. Several Ways to Build Visibility.
We do not rely on one type of PR.
Our PR Plan uses several complementary strategies to build credibility, visibility and authority from different angles, giving growing brands a commercially sensible PR option under £1,000/month without moving into traditional agency retainer territory.
Sharing Expertise
We position founders, spokespeople and subject-matter experts as credible voices journalists can quote, interview and feature, turning their expertise, insight and thought leadership into media-friendly opportunities.
This works especially well for consultants, executive coaches, life coaches, business coaches, leadership coaches, professional service providers, health and wellness specialists, doctors and medical experts, property experts, finance voices, leadership specialists and founders with strong insight to share.
Promoting Products and Services
We pitch relevant products, services and experiences for editorial opportunities. For product brands, this may include roundups, recommendations, reviews, buying guides, gift guides and seasonal shopping features. For consumer service businesses, this may include advice-led angles, consumer problems, professional insight, local relevance and lifestyle press.
Telling Stories
We turn founder journeys, customer experiences, personal stories and brand missions into media angles people remember.
Where a story has genuine press potential, it can be overseen by a senior current or former journalist, who helps shape the angle, interview the client or story subject and prepare a journalist-friendly press release before we pitch it to relevant media contacts.
Announcing Business News
We help shape launches, milestones, partnerships, awards, expansions and other updates into credible media opportunities.
The right mix depends on your brand, goals, assets and what journalists are likely to respond to.
How It Works
We keep PR clear, organised and collaborative, with a structured process that keeps campaigns focused without making them generic.
You start with a short enquiry form so we can understand your brand, goals and whether we think PR is a strong fit.
We then use what we learn to shape a tailored PR proposal and campaign direction, including the strongest routes into the media, potential angles, target media categories and how PR could support your credibility, visibility, authority and commercial goals.
Once you join, we collect the information we need and build clear profiles around your experts, products, services, stories or announcements. Where suitable, we also help clarify your positioning, strongest authority angles and media-ready messaging before outreach begins.
For real-life, founder or customer stories, we do not just ask for a few notes and send them out. We help identify the strongest journalist-friendly angle, interview where needed, prepare the story in a media-ready format and pitch it properly.
From there, we handle the writing, pitching, follow-up, reporting and media outreach, while keeping you updated as momentum builds.
Who we help
We help founders, experts, consultants, coaches, professional service businesses, product brands and authority-led brands turn what they know, do and stand for into meaningful media coverage.
That could mean expert commentary, founder visibility, thought leadership, product PR, service-led stories, business news or lifestyle media opportunities.
The goal is always the same: credibility-building press that builds authority, visibility and trust.
Find the Right PR Angle for Your Brand
Not every brand earns media coverage in the same way.
Some campaigns are built around expert commentary, thought leadership and founder visibility. Others work through professional insight, service-led stories, product features, business news or lifestyle media opportunities.
Our PR Plan is the same core service, but the strategy changes depending on your business, goals and what journalists are most likely to respond to.

Meet Riley
I’m Riley, Co-Founder of No Strings Public Relations. Our team has worked on both sides of the media, and we understand what journalists need from a story.
I started No Strings because credible businesses deserve fair access to experienced PR support. Too many are priced out, tied into rigid retainers, or sold vague promises without clear outcomes.
So we built a fairer kind of PR agency: modern, journalist-led, honest and focused on meaningful media coverage that actually moves the needle.
We do not believe PR should be random activity. We help clients understand what makes them credible, what they should be known for and which stories, expert angles or thought leadership themes journalists are most likely to care about.
That is why every PR Plan starts with clear campaign thinking, tailored angle development and honest guidance before outreach begins.
No fluff. No agency theatre. No vague activity for activity’s sake.
Just fair PR that helps credible people and brands become seen, trusted and talked about.
— Riley Gardiner, Co-Founder
Real Coverage. Real Client Results.
Our clients use PR to build credibility, strengthen visibility and create proof that supports their wider marketing, sales and authority.
“I have been working with No Strings for a couple of months and have had great national press coverage.
I find the team excellent to work with and I'm looking forward to the projects we have in the pipeline.”
— Jessica Crane, Business Coach
“Believe the reviews - they really are the BEST we've ever worked with (and we've worked with some big, expensive agencies).
In our 1st month, we've been in 3 national newspapers and more importantly it's all been done calmly, with no stressy, urgent messaging. Using our dedicated Monday board to keep up with enquires is a breeze...”
—Ky Hoyle, Sh! Women’s Emporium

PR Should Feel Fair, Focused and Commercially Useful
Structured, not generic. Low-commitment, not low-strategy.
Done well, PR does more than generate coverage.
It builds credibility, strengthens visibility, supports search, and gives your wider marketing more authority. It helps founders, experts and authority-led brands build thought leadership, become seen, trusted and talked about in the places that matter.
That’s why we offer honest advice, fair pricing and journalist-led campaigns designed to build media momentum without the traditional agency nonsense.
We keep the model focused and efficient, so clients are paying for journalist-led thinking, strong angles, relevant outreach and clear communication, not unnecessary agency layers or bloated retainers.

PR That’s Clear From the Start
We will always be honest about what PR can and cannot do.
That matters even more with PR under £1,000/month, where the strongest results usually come from clear positioning, useful angles, consistent outreach and realistic expectations.
We cannot guarantee specific publications, instant national press or that every article will include a backlink.
What we can do is shape strong angles, pitch consistently, respond quickly to media opportunities, keep you informed and build momentum over time.
That is how earned PR works — and it is why the right expectations matter.
A tailored PR proposal before outreach begins
Before we begin pitching, we shape a tailored PR proposal around your brand, goals and strongest media opportunities. This can include your recommended PR routes, angle ideas, target media thinking and how earned media could support credibility, authority, search visibility and trust.
It is not a generic PR template. It is a clear campaign direction designed to help you understand how journalist-led PR could work for your brand before the first pitch is sent.
