Press Release Creation and Distribution

Press Release Creation and Distribution

When you have an exhibition, a new client campaign, or an award nomination, the right press release ensures the media takes notice.

  • Our approach: We use industry-standard PR distribution channels across the UK, targeting both photography and lifestyle outlets.
  • Benefit: Well-timed press releases generate immediate coverage, keeping your name current.
  • Challenge solved: Many photographers struggle with timing. Our releases are scheduled to align with editorial calendars so your story lands when media are most receptive.

Brand Positioning for Photographers

You’re not just a service provider. You’re a brand. Whether you focus on editorial shoots or commercial campaigns, your positioning in the UK market determines the calibre of clients you attract.

  • How we do it: Audience profiling, competitive analysis, and unique value development.

Social Media PR Campaigns

Social Media PR Campaigns

Photographers thrive on visuals, but social media alone won’t cut it without the right PR strategy. We integrate media coverage with social platforms to strengthen your credibility.

  • Method: Coordinating Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn posts with press features and interviews.
  • Challenge solved: Instead of random posting, your social profiles become a living archive of achievements.
  • Result: Consistency builds authority and makes your profile a destination for potential clients.

Event PR for Exhibitions and Launches

Exhibitions remain one of the strongest ways to display photography in the UK, but filling a gallery requires targeted PR.

  • How we handle it: Event announcements, VIP invitations, and pre-event press coverage.
  • Challenge solved: Many exhibitions fail due to poor attendance. Our PR campaigns ensure your event is talked about before, during, and after it happens.
  • Impact: Clients using structured PR see an average 60% increase in exhibition footfall compared to self-promoted events.

Crisis Management for Photographers

Crisis Management for Photographers

A client dispute, copyright issue, or controversial project can quickly damage reputation. Our crisis management team safeguards photographers when unexpected challenges hit.

  • Result: 90% of crises managed within the first 48 hours prevent long-term reputational harm.
