📣 PR isn’t just for big businesses!

Today we spent the day exploring PR Necessities for Business Growth — and one of the biggest takeaways was that your business probably has more stories to tell than you realise!

We looked at what makes a story newsworthy and what journalists are really looking for:

📰 Stories, not adverts
📍 Local relevance
⏰ Something new or timely
❤️ Human interest
💡 Stories that have an impact

From client wins and business milestones to personal journeys and community involvement, there could be PR opportunities hiding in your business right now — you just need to know how to spot them!

A huge thank you to Lindsey Newman-Wood for a fantastic and engaging session. There was lots of participation, plenty of laughs, great conversations and some brilliant connections made throughout the day. 🙌

It was a great reminder that PR isn’t necessarily about being better than everyone else — it’s about telling your story and taking action.

So… what story is hiding in your business? 👀
