Description

Bolton at Home are looking to procure a PR agency to provide us with a media office function. This will include handling media enquiries, liaising with us on responses, drafting press releases, and offering strategic PR advice to help manage our external reputation. The agency should have experience in media relations, familiarity with the social housing sector, and the ability to provide timely advice and well-crafted responses to media interest. In addition to reactive media handling, we may also require proactive support in identifying opportunities for positive media coverage and advising on key messaging for our broad range of communication activities. The agency will work closely with our in-house Communications Team to ensure a consistent and professional approach to public relations.
