We can help shine the spotlight of media attention on you and your brand by putting you in front of millions of potential new customers and clients.
Whether you want to hit the news headlines or harness the online power of social media, supercharge your website or create a campaign to launch a new business or product – we, at Penguin PR, pride ourselves on finding the most newsworthy stories and have the media contacts to put them in front of the people that matter.
Of course, we use a few tricks of the trade but there are no gimmicks – just well-written, engaging stories to promote your brand and build your reputation – while offering a whole host of other writing services, such as advertising and marketing copy, award submissions, brochures, blogs and company magazines and newsletters.
We’ve been getting local and national companies into the news for more than a decade, using skills we learned while working as journalists. In that time we’ve earned companies, organisations, charities and schools column inches and airtime that have repaid their investment many times over.
We’re specialists at the kind of storytelling that gets people clicking, liking and sharing.

A company is only as strong as its team and here at Penguin PR we’re very proud of the range of skills and talents that we have at our disposal.
At the heart of what we have to offer is the expertise in recognising what makes an engaging news story and how to ask the right questions in order to bring it to life.
This is because our writers are all ex-journalists – you can read their bios below – who know the tricks of the trade needed to make headlines – ahead of the many thousands of press releases and email pitches that get sent to journalists every day.
Not only that, our media contacts trust us to give them what they want: entertaining, accurate and well-written copy that will interest their readers, viewers or listeners – and your potential customers.
And so it’s no surprise that our clients, from the owner-operated start-ups to large corporate entities, have seen their stories featured in household name media outlets including The Daily Telegraph, the Guardian, the Daily Mail and The Sun, on BBC TV News and ITV both nationally and regionally, on radio stations, websites and podcasts.
Factor in our social media skills, SEO-enriched web copywriting solutions and our award nomination know-how you’ll see why more and more clients are p-p-picking Penguin PR.
Whatever your business or strategy our PR campaigns can help you!
