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 services are designed for growing brands that want journalist-led media coverage without traditional agency retainers.
If you are looking for affordable PR services, we offer a more accessible way to get bespoke, journalist-led boutique PR support without the bloated agency retainer.
They are 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 Services:
We offer two affordable, journalist-led boutique PR services for founders, experts, consultants, coaches, small businesses and growing brands.
We are not a PR platform, newswire or journalist request feed. Our team helps shape the angles, write and pitch media materials, respond to suitable opportunities and build credibility through earned media.
Essential PR
£297/month / US$397/month
For starting visibility around one clear area of expertise.
Essential PR helps you promote what you know through one focused expert profile, reactive journalist opportunities and expertise-led press releases.
It is also our most accessible option for brands looking for PR under £500/month.
Standard PR
£597/month / US$797/month
For broader PR support around your expertise, business and story.
Standard PR gives you wider campaign direction, including expert commentary, thought leadership, founder visibility, product or service PR, story-led PR and business news where relevant.
Both services are journalist-led, structured and personalised — not volume-led, templated or impersonal.
PR with a purpose
Strong PR starts before the first pitch is sent.
We do not believe good PR should be random activity. Before outreach begins, we look at your brand, goals, credibility, positioning and strongest media opportunities, so the work has proper direction from the start.
For Essential PR, this means keeping the strategy focused around one clear expert profile, useful commentary angles and expertise-led PR activity.
For Standard PR, this can go deeper. We can build broader campaign direction around your expertise, business, founder story, products, services, customer stories, business news and wider media opportunities.
Every service is shaped with journalist-led thinking, tailored angle development and honest guidance, 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 a Standard PR campaign, this may also include a senior Founder & Authority Positioning Session 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, Standard PR may also include 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.
The goal is simple: stronger stories, sharper commentary and more meaningful media opportunities from the start.
Several Ways To Build Visibility
We do not rely on one type of PR.
Essential PR focuses on sharing expertise through one expert profile, reactive journalist opportunities and expertise-led press releases.
Standard PR can go wider, including expert commentary, founder visibility, product and service PR, real-life stories and business news where relevant.
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 and interior design experts, finance voices, leadership specialists and founders with strong insight to share.
Promoting Products and Services
Within Standard PR, 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
Within Standard PR, 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
Within Standard PR, 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 recommend the right service and shape the appropriate campaign direction. For Essential PR, that means one focused expert profile and expertise-led PR activity. For Standard PR, that may include broader positioning, story development, product or service angles and wider media routes.
Once you join, we collect the information we need and build the right profile or campaign materials for your service. 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, small businesses, 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 services are built around the same journalist-led principles, but the right service depends on your business, goals and what journalists are most likely to respond to.
Essential PR is best for one clear expert profile and expertise-led visibility. Standard PR is best when you need broader campaign support around your expertise, business, story, products, services or wider media opportunities.

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 our PR services are built around clear campaign thinking, tailored angle development and honest guidance before outreach begins.
No fluff. No agency theatre. No generic templates. No volume-led pitching. No AI-led outreach pretending to be PR. 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, small businesses 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 PR services 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.
Clear Campaign Direction Before Outreach Begins
Before we begin pitching, we shape the right campaign direction for your service. Essential PR is kept focused around one expert profile and expertise-led activity. Standard PR can go deeper into broader positioning, story development, product or service angles and wider media opportunities.
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.
