SENIOR FUNDING ROUND PR CONSULTANT
Support through the run-up to a round and the announcement itself — a clear, credible narrative rather than a release written in isolation.
What This Is
This supports a business through both the run-up to a funding round and the announcement itself, a clear credible narrative rather than a press release written in isolation.
It can begin well before a round closes, or focus solely on the announcement.
It suits founder-led and venture-backed businesses at any stage. An early seed raise leans on the founder and the problem; a later round says more about traction and what the funding unlocks.
Who I Work With
Founders and leadership teams closing or approaching a round, plus investors and advisors, across the UK, US, Canada and ANZ.
How I Work
Before a round, the work is reviewing investor messaging, advising on the pitch deck, developing the PR and marketing plan for once funding is secured, and clarifying narrative and positioning.
After a round, it's planning the announcement, developing messaging, preparing press materials, identifying media, spokesperson prep and managing outreach.
Afterwards I report on the coverage secured and how it compares to similar rounds.

A funding announcement often connects to other work.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should support start?
Ideally well before the round closes, so the narrative and positioning are settled. Announcement-only support also works if the timing is tight.
What's the difference between a release and full comms?
A release is one document. Full communications covers the narrative, messaging, press materials, media targeting, spokesperson prep and outreach around it.
Does PR help fundraising?
Indirectly. Clear public positioning and credible coverage make a business easier to understand and easier to trust while conversations are live.
Should I offer exclusivity?
Sometimes. A well-placed exclusive can secure a stronger piece, but it limits the initial spread, so it depends on the outlet and the round.
Can you support multi-market announcements?
Yes. Messaging and media targeting are adapted per market across the UK, US, Canada and ANZ.
How do early-stage and later-stage raises differ?
An early seed raise leans on the founder and the problem. A later round says more about traction and what the funding unlocks.
