PR guru launches regional agency

Sep 3 2009 by Iain Laing, The Journal

ONE of the region's brightest public relations consultants has launched her own business on Tyneside.

Sarah Hall, who previously managed the North East office of London-based PR company Golley Slater, has set up Sarah Hall Consulting in Whitley Bay.

Sarah said: “It is very clear that businesses still want to maintain a presence in these difficult economic times but that the cost of hiring an agency can prove prohibitive.

“Sarah Hall Consulting has been designed to plug that gap – people know they are getting the top person who will see the entire job through to a very high standard.”

Named by PR Week magazine as being in the top 1% of the UK’s PR industry and both highly influential and creative, the 30-year-old is a multi-award-winning consultant who started her career at Tyne Tees Television before moving into PR. She is regional chair of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations and was among the graduates of the first year of the CBI’s Future Leaders programme.
