A Kent address, a national rolodex.
Most small businesses in Kent that want serious press coverage think they have to either fly to London for every meeting with an agency or settle for a local PR who has good intentions but no national contacts. Neither is necessary. Get In The Press operates out of Gravesend, fifteen minutes by train into central London, and our day-to-day press contacts are exactly the ones a Soho-based agency would have on speed dial.
What changes when your PR is local is small but useful. The first meeting is easy. The site visit is easy. The product photography day is easy. When a national journalist wants to come and see what you do, we can be there with them. None of this is essential, but all of it is friction removed.
The Kent businesses we tend to work well with
- Consumer product brands with a national story
- Parenting and family businesses (we have form here)
- Jewellers, gifting and lifestyle retailers
- Independent publishers and authors
- Founders facing a corporate or regulator issue
- Small businesses with a "David vs Goliath" moment to tell
- Hospitality and tourism with a particular story to share
- Wellness, fitness and family-leisure brands
Coverage isn't local. The press is.
One thing worth being honest about: if your goal is "coverage in the local paper", you probably don't need us, and there are good people in Kent who do that work well. Where we earn our fee is when you want to be in The Times, The Telegraph, the women's weeklies, the parenting titles, ITV News at Six, BBC Breakfast, or any of the consumer-affairs columns. That's the work we do every day from our Kent office for clients across the UK.
Towns and areas we cover regularly
Roughly speaking, the further west you are in Kent the easier it is for us to visit in person. We're equally happy doing everything by phone and video for clients further east.
