RedPR strategically communicates what you want to "get out there". It might sound simple but these days, PR seems to have become overly complicated, unecessarily expensive and difficult for some clients to "relate to".

It shouldn't be like that and with RedPR, it isn't.

With key print, photographic, design and video production partnerships, we can deliver whatever you need - professionally, quickly and affordably.

Senior consultant and director, Ali Jones, has almost 30 years experience in media and strategic communication, both as a journalist, producer (TV, radio, video), presenter (radio and TV), writer (print, web, video, TV) as well as within corporate PR.

Give us a call for a relaxed, no obligation chat.
