New product and gifting public relations agency, Retail PR launches
Retail PR is the brainchild of entrepreneur, retail, PR and gifting expert, Courtney Rogers and following a soft launch earlier this year, won its founding clients, including the British Toy & Hobby Association, who run the prestigious annual Toy Fair.
Courtney said; “The creation of Retail PR, the sister company to PR solutions company, CIJ Group, was a natural evolution of our talent and services. In the six years since CIJ Group’s inception, we have seen phenomenal growth and now work with over 150 brands and retailers, some of whom asked for us to provide a PR service that catered for their needs throughout the year. And so Retail PR was born, an agency that’s ethos is underpinned by offering unrivalled value with monthly support inclusive of a bespoke programme of activations and PR solutions, centred around the retail calendar.”
Retail PR has been specifically designed to support high street and online retailers, plus brands across retail verticals including gifting, food & drink, lifestyle and homewares. Specialisms have developed from understanding the challenges across the retail sector, through working with clients through its sister company, including Freemans, eBay, JoJo Maman Bebé, Buyagift, Prezzybox, Moonpig and many more across the past six years.
Courtney commented: “PR has evolved from looking pretty in print to driving bottom line results and product PR done well should closely align with marketing and sales activity. We have unrivalled media relationships, helping us to secure key coverage, deliver on ROI and pioneer the way forward in the digital, media and retail landscape.”
Whether a client is looking for monthly support throughout the year or project support, specific to a product launch or key calendar occasion such as Christmas; Retail PR is able to provide a bespoke solution.
