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.”

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.
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.
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.
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.
