Public Relations

As a newspaper journalist with 13 years experience, and having operated as a PR executive since 2005, Agent Pete understands exactly how the local media works and what journalists are looking for – that's why Secret Agent Marketing gets so much press coverage on behalf of its clients in newspapers and magazines and on the radio and websites.

If the story is right, Secret Agent Marketing can even get you onto the television or into the national and international press. Regional and national outlets that have aired or covered Secret Agent Marketing stories on behalf of clients include BBC West, ITV West, Sky News and national newspapers including the Sun, Mirror, Mail, Express, Guardian, Times and Telegraph, as well as magazines and industry publications.

As a member of the Chambers of Commerce movement in Cirencester and Marlborough since 2001, Agent Pete knows it is as important to talk business-to-business as it is to talk business-to-customer, which is why he offers a local and regional B2B service as standard, if it is appropriate to your business.

And if communicating with your staff and customers directly is important to you, Secret Agent Marketing offers a comprehensive newsletter content and design service.

How it works

Hire Secret Agent Marketing and you’ll get a one-to-one meeting with Agent Pete at your place of work, or somewhere convenient to you. We don’t use ‘associates’, ‘junior account managers’ or ‘sub-contractors’ like other PR companies, so you’ll be dealing with the expert!

He’ll work with you to identify the news opportunities in your business.

He’ll provide an accurate and sparkling press release that editors and journalists will want to use.

He provides a photography service at no extra charge – helping to keep your costs low.

Your press release will be sent to you for approval or amendments to be made. Nothing will be sent to the press until you are entirely satisfied.

He’ll send the press release to trusted journalists and editors with whom he is in regular contact.

What it costs

Agent Pete charges £400 for a press release, or a day’s work towards completion of a larger project or campaign*. That’s the equivalent of a small colour ad in one newspaper or magazine, and won’t even get you through the door for radio advertising! Remember that your story will be sent to, and used by, numerous media outlets – and you only pay once!

There are generous discounts for charities, and for loyal clients who use Secret Agent Marketing’s services regularly.

*Fees for reputation management incur a 50 percent surplus. Reputation management is where you, your company or organisation are in conflict with the media.
