Festival and Event PR
Done For You
Great events live or die on the noise around them. Our festival PR gets people excited before the gates open, fills the room on the night and keeps everyone talking long after the last act leaves the stage.
We’ve been on both sides of the clipboard. As well as running the PR, we’ve sat in the organising team, planning festivals, booking line ups and running awards nights, galas and launch events. So we know what’s happening behind the scenes, when the best stories are about to land and how to turn every part of your event into a reason to talk about it.
The best events are talked about long before the doors open
Why festival PR matters
Tickets are rarely bought on impulse. People hear about an event, see it mentioned again, spot a friend going and then decide. Good PR creates those moments, from the first line up announcement to the final days before the event, and turns yours into the one everyone wants to be at. For awards, it’s what gives winners, shortlisted names and sponsors the recognition they signed up for.
PR from inside the organising team
Event PR is often brought in once everything’s been decided. We start earlier. Having worked on the organising side, we know how line ups come together, which announcements will land, what sponsors need and how to give journalists and creators the kind of access that turns into great coverage. We work alongside your team rather than at arm’s length, so the PR is built into your event from day one.

How our festival PR works
Announcements and lineups
We know how lineups come together, so we plan every big moment around them, from launch and lineup reveals to on sale day and last chance to buy.
Media partners and press accreditation
We secure media partnerships, manage press passes and make sure the right journalists, reviewers and broadcasters are there on the day.
On site press office
On the day, we manage the media, photographers, interviews and broadcast crews, so your organising team can focus on running a brilliant event.
Creators and social buzz
We bring creators and influencers into the experience and create moments made for sharing, reaching audiences that traditional press can’t.

Festival PR questions
How far ahead should festival PR start?
As early as possible, ideally before your first announcement. The biggest ticket sales often come from well planned moments like line up reveals, so we map those out months ahead.
Can you work alongside our organising team?
Yes, and that’s where we’re at our best. We’ve been part of organising teams ourselves, so we understand production schedules, sponsor commitments and last minute changes, and build the PR around how your event really runs.
Do you handle the media on the day?
Yes. We run an on site press office, managing journalists, photographers, interviews and broadcast crews so everything runs smoothly and you get the coverage you deserve.
Can you publicise awards ceremonies and winners?
Yes. We plan coverage around shortlists, the night itself and the winners, giving your awards, finalists and sponsors the recognition they deserve.
Do you work with creators and influencers at events?
Yes. We invite the right creators, plan moments made for sharing and make sure their content reaches the audiences you want to attract next year.
What happens if something goes wrong on the day?
Weather, cancellations and incidents happen. We help you respond quickly and calmly, and if it’s something more serious, our crisis PR team is ready to step in
