About us
Welcome to No Strings Public Relations — a modern PR partner for growing brands.
We deliver real, earned media coverage without bloated retainers, long contracts, or empty promises.
Just smart, affordable, results-focused PR, delivered by people who understand the media — and the commercial realities of running a business.
Who we are
We’re a 30+ strong team of PR professionals, writers, and ex-journalists, with team members based across London, New York, and Canada, supported by a trusted network of freelance editors.
Many of us have worked in newsrooms. We know how journalists think, what makes a story publishable, and what gets ignored — because we’ve been on the receiving end of pitches ourselves.
We specialise in UK and US publicity, working with everyone from early-stage startups to established household names. By operating as a fully remote team, we’ve stripped out unnecessary overheads and reinvested in talent — allowing us to deliver high-quality PR without the traditional agency price tag.
The result is national reach with boutique-style flexibility, and a service built around outcomes rather than optics.
What we do
At No Strings PR, we see PR as a commercial tool — one that builds credibility, visibility, and long-term demand when it’s done properly.
We represent experts, brands, and businesses across sectors including tech, finance, beauty, human rights, careers, sustainability, and consumer products.
Our work spans:
expert commentary
product features
real-life stories
business and brand news
All shaped to fit what journalists actually want to publish — and what audiences actually trust.
We work with hundreds of journalists every day, from Mail Online and The Telegraph to Metro and Forbes, securing thousands of pieces of coverage each year. That experience allows us to place stories efficiently, with the right outlets, and in front of the right audiences.
The goal isn’t coverage for the sake of it.
It’s coverage that builds trust, supports SEO and AI search visibility, and helps turn visibility into real commercial value.
Meet Riley, our founder
Hi, I’m Riley, founder of No Strings Public Relations.
Over the last seven years, I’ve worked across the UK and US media landscape, helping thousands of brands — from ambitious startups to well-known names — secure meaningful coverage in trusted publications.
I’ve seen how powerful PR can be when it’s done properly — and how often great businesses miss out because of cost, complexity, or rigid agency contracts.
That’s why I created No Strings PR: to make journalist-led, results-driven PR accessible, flexible, and commercially sensible.
My team and I handle the heavy lifting, helping brands build authority, visibility, SEO strength, and GEO (AI search visibility) through credible media coverage.
Our model is simple: when PR works commercially, clients stay — and partnerships last.
— Riley Gardiner, Founder
How we do it
We are — first and foremost — a team of people.
Our ex-journalists, PR specialists, and writers do the thinking, pitching, writing, and relationship-building. That’s where PR success is actually won.
We use technology and AI to support the process, not replace it. Automation helps us manage workflows, reporting, and scale efficiently — freeing our team to focus on what matters most: strong angles, sharp storytelling, and genuine journalist relationships.
In short:
AI supports the process. Humans do the PR.
We prioritise execution over theatrics.
No overcomplicated processes
No endless meetings
No inflated teams
Just experienced people, working efficiently, and delivering consistent results.
Why choose us
With no strings attached, we give you everything you need to secure meaningful press coverage — without contracts, fluff, or unnecessary complexity.
If you’re tired of being your industry’s best-kept secret, we’re here to help change that.
