A specialist public relations agency launched on November 1 which offers targeted product PR and campaign support to brands and retailers.
Retail PR is the brainchild of entrepreneur, and retail, PR and gifting expert, Courtney Rogers. Following a soft launch earlier this year, it won founding clients including the British Toy & Hobby Association (BTHA), which runs the prestigious Toy Fair, held annually in Olympia London.
Courtney said: “The creation of Retail PR, which is the sister company to PR solutions company CIJ Group, was a natural evolution of our talent and services. In the six years since CIJ Group’s inception we have seen phenomenal growth, and now work with more than 150 brands and retailers, some of whom asked us to provide a PR service that catered for their needs throughout the year. And so Retail PR was born: an agency whose ethos is underpinned by offering unrivalled value, with monthly support inclusive of a bespoke programme of activations and PR solutions, centred around the retail calendar.”
Retail PR is specifically designed to support high street and online retailers, plus brands across retail verticals including gifting, food and drink, lifestyle and homeware. Specialisms have developed from understanding the challenges across the retail sector, through working with clients through its sister company, including Freemans, eBay, JoJo Maman Bebé, Buyagift, Prezzybox, Moonpig and many more across the past six years.
“PR has evolved from looking pretty in print to driving bottom line results, and product PR done well should closely align with marketing and sales activity”

Courtney added: “PR has evolved from looking pretty in print to driving bottom line results, and product PR done well should closely align with marketing and sales activity. We have unrivalled media relationships, helping us to secure key coverage, deliver on ROI and pioneer the way forward in the digital, media and retail landscape.”
