Why hire a freelance PR consultant?
Good PR starts with a clear strategy. A freelance PR consultant brings experience from many organizations, and can audit your reputation, set direction and coach your team, without an agency retainer.
Freelancers also give you flexibility. Bring one in for a PR strategy, a launch plan, a reputation review, a media training session or a period of senior cover, then step back as your team carries on. They give an independent, practical view.

Frequently asked questions
Hire a freelance PR consultant when you need PR strategy and don't have an in-house lead, when you're preparing a launch, funding round or major announcement, or when you want an independent review of your PR. They're also useful for spokesperson coaching and interim cover.
PR consultants vary by seniority and sector. Some are former agency directors or in-house heads of communications, others specialize in technology, health, finance, consumer or B2B. Some advise only, others also deliver. For running day-to-day programs, a PR manager may fit better, and a crisis communications consultant suits reputation emergencies. For brand strategy, consider a brand strategist. Match their experience to your sector and challenge.
