Free PR Resources

We believe that organisations of all sizes can harness and benefit from PR. However, we’re also very aware that not every organisation has budget available to take on the services of a PR agency so here are some fabulous FREE opportunities for you to take advantage of and start your PR journey.

Good luck and do let us know how you get on!

Please Note: RDZ PR is not paid to speak well of or recommend ANY of the following free PR resources. Those we share below are mentioned because either we’re using them ourselves or our clients are/have used them and spoken well about them.

Help a Reporter Out (HARO)

GoogleAlerts

Google Alerts enables you to track any online mention of your brand via the world's newspapers, magazines and publications. Creating an alert via the platform is super easy – all you need to do is add your brand name or topic and you'll get news alerts either as they happen, once a day or once a week – it's up to you.

Media.Info

This free platform has been around since 1994 and can still be a reliable resource for finding UK media contacts (although sometimes a little outdated). It's a good starting point if you're after someone's details enabling you to search through over 6,000 media titles across radio, television, newspapers and magazines.

PitchRate

PitchRate says, “Build media connections that make a difference, for free”. PitchRate is a media alert service that fires out daily emails including a wealth of media opportunities. If you want to respond to anything you will have to send your pitch in via their website.

SubjectLine

If you want to know if your email subject line is working simply copy and paste your text into SubjectLine and it will give you a score out of 100. You'll get one free attempt before the tool asks you to register.

Hemingway App

The Hemingway App highlights lengthy, complex sentences and common errors. If you see a yellow sentence, for instance, you should shorten or split it. If you see a red highlight your sentence is so dense and complicated that your readers will get lost trying to follow its meandering, splitting logic; try editing this sentence to remove the red! An excellent tool for any of us who are prone to waffle.

What Our Clients Say...

Heather Johnson, Botanical Artist & Stationery Designer

I went on one of Rachel’s introduction to PR workshops and it was fantastic. She covered absolutely everything, explained it all in an understandable way and didn’t try to sell anything. She gave as much information as possible, answered all questions and she was just lovely. I would highly recommend Rachel for anything to do with PR and won’t hesitate to use her services in the future.

Ravi Summan

I was introduced to Rachel by an executive coach. My requirements were to provide quality, simple to understand content to engage with my target market and generate new customer enquiries in health and wellbeing. From my first discussion with Rachel, it was clear that she had the skills and empathy to provide a service to support the growth of my business. Rachel’s content writing and editing is very effective and her diligence ensures the right message is articulated. It is no surprise to me she has a strong track record of helping entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes support their growth. Aside from her professional competencies, Rachel genuinely cares about people and working with her allows you to focus on your core business. For those who are new to building their own business or employed by a large corporate, you will get value and authenticity from Rachel’s content and PR services.

Jayne McIntosh, Director, Air Aesthetics Health & Wellness Clinics

I met with Rachel and was instantly impressed with her warmth, enthusiasm and ability to understand the key issues being faced. She took time to clarity objectives and the key tasks required. A quick study she was able to pinpoint the brand tone of voice accurately. Rachel’s’ copy writing skills have been excellent. She has written for my business website, advertorial pages in lifestyle magazine and has also written first class responses to awards entries which are curtailed in length. Rachel is just really, really good!

Victoria Curtis, Company Secretary, Mono Roofing Ltd

Rachel came to provide our company with an appraisal for the company PR, and we learnt an awful lot! Rachel taught us how to make the most of our marketing and advertising and how to make it work for us, to get the client’s we really want. Rachel has provided our company with a plan to follow, and we are gradually implementing these procedures, and we know that in doing so, it will really raise the profile of our company and get us the work we want. I would definitely recommend Rachel to manage your company’s PR.

Trusha Lakhani, MD, Great Business Matters t/a Trusha Lakhani

Rachel Hargrave is one of the best PR experts that I have met. She not only understands the best awards for her clients but also how to make the most of the opportunity for the client’s personality. Put simply Rachel gets people. She understands her clients and their goals and is with you all the way. I highly recommend Rachel Hargrave and The Awards people and RDZ PR.

Paul Gerrard, MD, Gerrard Cranes

Rachel and I met yesterday to discuss my existing marketing and options for how we can improve and develop the strategy for my business. It’s very clear that Rachel has vast amounts of experience, knowledge, ability and some great contacts to achieve some amazing results. If you need some professional guidance with PR/awards/marketing then I’d highly recommend you get in touch with Rachel and see how she can help you out.

Victoria Beale, CEO, Business Live Global

I’ve worked with Rachel for the past ten years on a variety of client projects and for my business also and the service we have received has been second to none, consistent and most importantly delivers RESULTS. I would have no hesitation recommending RDZ PR to my customers and Business Live Network. Thanks Rach! Here’s to another ten years and more!

Mark Esho MBE, Easy Internet Services, Easy Internet Solutions, Dreme, Access Rating CIC

Thanks for all the hard work you put into the PR work for our companies and subsequently the business award submissions. You made the whole process stress-free, and the quality of the submissions have resulted in the receipt of multiple business awards. Great work, Rachel.
