Objectives

Source PR has maintained a longstanding relationship with Cheshire Boutique Barns over 10 years; we were initially tasked by the owner to grow the presence of the business, then further strengthening its reputation thereafter. We pride ourselves in some of the best retention rates in the entire PR industry. We frequently support the barns with PR and media relationships, securing a number of influencer and press reviews over the years, as well as inclusions within roundup pieces in the nationals, and standalone articles of coverage.

Key Activity

  • Arranging influencer stays for the business over a sustained period of time.
  • Helping with award entry writing and submission.
  • Working with key media outlets to provide PR results across regional, national and trade media.
