Wilderness PR

Wilderness PR was founded with a clear purpose: to provide a more thoughtful, tailored approach to public relations for consumer and lifestyle brands. Based in the small village of Cross in Hand, East Sussex, United Kingdom, the agency emerged from a recognition that many PR firms had become too formulaic, relying on generic tactics rather than genuine storytelling. The founders saw an opportunity to build a consultancy that prioritises meaningful connections between brands and their audiences, placing equal emphasis on strategy, creativity, and measurable outcomes. This founding ethos continues to guide Wilderness PR today, shaping every campaign they develop.

Current Focus and Philosophy

Wilderness PR operates as a boutique consultancy, which means they work with a select number of clients at any one time. This allows them to invest deeply in understanding each brand’s identity, goals, and audience. Their philosophy centres on making the right ‘noise’ to the right people—not just generating press coverage for its own sake, but ensuring that every piece of communication serves a strategic purpose. The agency is particularly skilled at helping businesses and brands be seen and heard in crowded markets, whether through traditional media relations, digital content, or influencer partnerships. Their approach is collaborative, working closely with clients to co-create campaigns that feel authentic and impactful.
