PR Advisory Service

Is your marketing and communications team eager to increase your organisation’s PR activity, but has limited PR-specific expertise and experience to deliver projects that boost your media presence?

We may have what you need.

For organisations with in-house marketing teams

Clearly’s PR Advisory Service is designed to provide organisations with access to an external team of award-winning PR specialists – winners of the PRCA Medium PR Consultancy of the Year in 2021, 2022, and 2023.

Led by founder Paul MacKenzie-Cummins, Clearly’s multi-award winning team has multi-sector, multi-national, and multiple years of experience.

They will support your marketing and communications teams’ development and ability to generate great media coverage. In doing so:

• Your brand will be better known
• You will be exposed to a wider audience
• You will appeal to the 1 in 5 of clients who have done business with a company after seeing them in a relevant media outlet*
• Your key spokesperson(s) will become regarded as industry thought leaders
• Customer perception and trust in your brand will be elevated
• And you will have helped your people to expand their skills and empower them to deliver work that adds even greater value to the organisation’s bottom line and overall strategic goals
