We are true PR and wordsmith specialists, rather than a one-stop-shop agency that dabbles in PR. We benefit hugely from having a multi-award-winning, highly experienced PR brain driving our creativity and boutique, focused approach to what we regard as our ‘craft’. Jane Hunt not only steers the ship but also devises and curates our truly engaging campaigns, in a hands-on way, for all clients.
Jane Hunt is a two-time winner of the ‘Outstanding PR Practitioner of the Year’ title, at the national CIPR Excellence Awards – arguably the most prestigious awards in the PR industry. She is also a member of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations, Public Relations and Communications Association (PRCA) and Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) and has a specialist CIM Diploma in Tourism Marketing.
She’s very approachable and keen to help brands achieve their objectives, so if you would like a 30-minute discovery session, to chat things through, just book one here.
Jane is a day-to-day contact for a wide variety of Catapult PR clients, from national and international insurance organisations, to start-up businesses wanting to benefit from working with the most successful regional agency of its size in the UK, in terms of accolades achieved for its marketing outputs and campaigns.
Whether these are PR clients, wanting a creative and strategic PR campaign that will raise brand awareness, educate customers, generate thought leadership or produce valuable backlinks in online articles, or companies recognising the huge importance of having a well-stocked and meaningful online news area on their website, Jane is always there to direct, advise, roll up the sleeves and work as an extension of their team.
You only have to look at our award-winning track record, within numerous top PR and marketing awards schemes, to see that our campaigns must achieve outstanding results, regardless of whether we are targeting B2B or B2C audiences.
We purposefully strive to not be the biggest PR and content agency but the best, setting the highest standards. We maintain those by not delegating anything to an office junior and having a director-led approach to every initiative or piece of work we create. This enables clients to benefit from a level of expertise that offers amazing value for money.
Our award-winning record is the envy of much bigger agencies across the UK. Many marvel at how we achieve it. The answer lies in thinking differently, being truly dedicated to our clients and being passionate about what we do and how we do it. Being a true specialist gives us a real competitive edge.
If you would like to find out more about this, simply book a 30-minute discovery session.
We are a PR agency in the small Lancashire town of Poulton-le-Fylde, six miles from the tourism hotspot of Blackpool and 18 miles from Preston. Lancaster is around the same distance away and we can be in the Lake District in less than an hour.
Despite being based in the Red Rose county, we do an extraordinary amount of work with clients in Yorkshire, whether that is tourism PR, insurance PR, content writing or another type of B2C or B2B PR and marketing.
Our travel and tourism PR roots are very well-established in Cumbria and Northumberland. We have a base at Warwick Mill, Carlisle, to help service the needs of our Cumbrian and Northumbrian tourism, heritage and other clients. Our travel and tourism PR expertise has also seen us working with clients in Durham, Sunderland and Tyne and Wear.
With a big foothold in financial services, pet product promotion and insurance, as well as travel and tourism PR, we extend our reach across the UK and beyond, even to countries like Cyprus, Italy and France. When it comes to fashion and retail, our clients are often found in London or Manchester.
The key thing to note is that clients come to Catapult PR for its expertise and award-winning formula – not its geographical location.
Wherever you are based, we will be delighted to meet with you. Just book a Zoom discovery session here.
We have extremely deep and impressive experience in:
However, we handle campaigns across many different sectors and, are as adept at creating content and online blogs and articles for construction companies as for management training companies.
The major factor within all of this for us is the chemistry we have with a client and our degree of belief in whatever their product or service may be. If we feel there is a strong connection, and that there are opportunities to really get results for clients from day one, we can probably work wonders with whatever is put before us.
Let’s check that out right now, with a discovery session! Just book here.
Half of our time is spent not on PR and media campaigns but on delivering compelling words and other content for our clients. This could be all-important blogs that can build thought-leadership and are essential in a world of AI search, or could just as easily be e-newsletters, content downloads, social media campaigns, podcasts or website copywriting services.
In 2022, we won the national CIPR Excellence Awards’ ‘Mark of Excellence’ for a content campaign in the travel sector. 2023 saw recognition for a content campaign in the financial services sector.
If you are looking for a content writer for hire, look no further, as we can provide you with that service alone, without PR, and help you fulfil your content marketing needs.
We have two podcasts which showcase our work within our core areas of expertise. Both are high-ranking and generate higher-than-average downloads. Check them out here.

Catapult PR has contributed greatly to the castle’s success, with this being evidenced greatly over the past few years, thanks to spot-on Covid-19 PR messaging that enabled us to stand out in the hospitality sector, to the extent the Government used our messaging within its official staycation campaign. Our occupancy, post-lockdown, soared to over 98% thanks to the PR exposure we enjoyed.
Catapult has also strategically bolstered key elements of our appeal and generated additional business for key aspects of the business, through the production of unique collateral such as our Hairy History booklet, elopement guide, dog-friendly download and stories for our Tales of Langley Bear podcast. The agency’s writing skills have been deployed in numerous ways with the words always being compelling and engaging.

Catapult PR’s hugely creative press materials often draw on extensive research and include unique angles. The PR is typically much more than just a press release, having a tactical or positioning motive behind it and often being repurposed across different channels. I was delighted to see the campaign win four marketing and PR awards in 2022 and all were completely deserved given the huge impact the PR had within the UK and international visitor markets.
