Republic PR
Republic public relations (PR) was set up in 2007 by Simon Palmer, the Dublin based freelance public relations consultant, to provide media relations and communications consultancy to businesses across Ireland.
Republic is an independent public relations and digital PR consultancy that helps companies to promote and develop their products and services to other businesses or consumers. Targeted coverage in the media and on the internet can benefit a business hugely by raising its profile and promoting it to much wider audience.
As a freelance public relations consultant Republic passes on its lower overheads to its clients by offering lower fees. With a background of over ten years in major agencies, in London and Dublin, clients get the benefit of big agency experience, on a personal basis, for a fraction of the cost.
As a freelance public relations consultant Republic is the perfect answer for companies who do not want the cost of appointing an agency. The company also works with other freelancers to bring in skills for their clients that they don’t have in house in a type of ‘freelance cooperative’ where they can also provide expertise in areas such as website design, SEO, branding and event management.
Republic Public Relations is one of the few PR consultancies to effectively combine traditional media coverage TV/radio/press with new forms of on-line media. They use social media and blogging to build an on line profile that reinforces the coverage in the traditional media. These days it is vital that both these aspects of communications are used. To be the most effective the they need to interwoven as part of the communications strategy and neither should be undertaken in isolation.
Republic is now on Linkedin IGOpeople. For more details please go to:
