Claire Johnson

“I have been working with Cath for almost a decade (yes a decade!) and I am very happy with her PR services. A super creative individual as well. She has always listened to us, helped share our consumer champion story and executes our overall brand strategy with such ease. She tells our story in a journalistic way, which initiates interest and is far more engaging.”

Ernesto Suarez

WEALTH at work

“I have hired Cath to provide PR consultancy for three businesses I have been involved in, SimplySwitch, iCarhireinsurance.com and School Stickers. Cath has proved to be a valuable asset in building our PR profile which has led to tangible results that have impacted the bottom line positively. I would have no hesitation recommending Cath.”

Alistair Tillen,

Partner, Bridges Ventures LLP

"I've had the pleasure of working with Cath on a number of projects over the years and her ability to come up with interesting and more importantly, newsworthy stories for our business never fails to amaze me. Cath immediately identified our value proposition and put in place key messages to not only help us communicate effectively with our customers, but get out success stories published at both a local and national level. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cath to anyone looking to run an effective PR campaign.

Why Choose Roan Media?

Effective

Roan Media is proud of the fact that its work brings about tangible benefits for clients. Cath works hard to ensure that clients quickly recognise not only the value of PR, but the value of choosing to work with her.

Responsible

Roan Media cares passionately about making a difference, which is why Cath only takes on clients where she really believes in the product or service they’re providing, or the campaign they’re running, and where she believes PR is the right tool.

Cost-effective

Monthly rate, day rate, hourly rate, or project rate – whatever works for your business.

Part of a team

Cath works with most clients on her own, but if specialist expertise is required, or a project needs a bigger team, she has a wide network of other freelancers who can be brought on board as and when required, and only when agreed with the client.

Part of your team

All her clients will tell you Cath isn’t a supplier, she’s part of the team. Whilst the main focus is PR, with her years of experience consulting she has seen a lot, and many clients value her thoughts on other business issues beyond just PR.
