national pr results – without fail

Working with carol driver pr

For eight years, my team of journalists and I have delivered consistent PR results for individuals, brands and businesses. My clients are in the national press every month without fail.

We have worked with six- and seven-figure entrepreneurs to raise their profile, experts to become the go-to in their field, award-winning product brands to drive sales, and businesses to increase credibility in the trade and business press to impress investors – as well as securing hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of coverage for book launches. I have worked with every type of business owner – from start-ups to established national brands – to secure consistent national press, including regular columns and paid-for opportunities.

With nearly 30 years in national media as a journalist and editor, I know exactly how to position your brand so editors take notice. I will develop a tailored strategy for your PR campaign, making your story impossible to ignore.

That insider journalistic knowledge, combined with eight years of delivering consistent national coverage across titles including Forbes, The Times, The Telegraph, the Daily Mail, The Mirror, The Sun, Woman & Home, Prima, Platinum, Top Santé, Women’s Health, Glamour, Stylist, Hello!, OK!, Woman, Best, and Grazia, as well as radio and TV including This Morning, is what sets my team and me apart from every other PR consultant you’ll speak to.

Whatever your objective – more visibility, stronger reputation, increased sales, a bigger audience or becoming the go-to name in your industry – I’ll build a bespoke PR strategy around it and work with my journalist and editor contacts to make it happen.

Client testimonials

Lisa Johnson

Global business strategist

“I’ve loved working with Carol. Her strategy for PR is so thought out. It’s not just about getting you into press, she works out the positioning in a long-term strategy to help you be seen as the expert in your field. The opportunities have been amazing so far! I’d definitely recommend!”

Liv Conlon

ThePropertyStages and StagerBoss

“Carol secured my first PR 7 years ago when my story was just emerging, which was HUGE! More recently I’m working with her on a consistent PR strategy, not only have I made my investment back for the year with the coaching students it’s attracted, but I’ve also been spotted for some ‘grand-slam’ opportunities! I trust Carol implicitly with my brand and my image, she’s the ultimate professional and her ambition, passion + creativity is evident in the results!”

Holly Matthews

Actress, singer and confidence coach

“Carol has been the best investment in my business this year! She works with passion, bravery and at a pace that matches my own. She thinks outside the box with ideas and pitches and is always willing to work with you on ideas. I have been featured in major publications that I would never have been in had I not worked with Carol. An absolute powerhouse of PR!”

Debbie Grayson

pharmacist and nutritional therapist

“For anyone thinking of working with Carol 1-2-1, I wholeheartedly recommend it. I have done several courses in PR but the missing piece for me was the actual implementation. I am so busy with my business that I simply don’t have time (and use that as an excuse not to) to pitch myself. I love how easy Carol makes it, and I’ve been featured in multiple national newspapers and magazines on multiple occasions. None of this would have been possible without Carol’s help. It’s been worth every penny and more.”

“I chose to work with Carol because she not only had extensive industry experience, but she really understood who I am as an entrepreneur and understood my business and what I needed. Carol very quickly helped me to gain amazing press opportunities, and was proactive about sourcing them for me. She was considerate, approachable and great to work with. Carol was always available at the end of the phone when I had any worries or wobbles about anything! I highly recommend any entrepreneur to work with Carol - she's the best in the business.”
