About IPR Communications
Kathryn Allison, MA, WSETDip, is the Founder and Director of IPR Communications, a bespoke PR and Communications business.
“Public Relations can be a minefield for those unfamiliar. Many don’t know where to start or, surprisingly, think PR is only for big businesses.”
Kath has many years of experience in PR strategy, media campaigns, media relations and marketing, business development and advertising gained within the wine, food, heritage & lifestyle businesses. She has a natural ability to grasp critical messages and convert them into clever, professional and canny communications.
Kathryn understands that you are so caught up in your day-to-day role as a business professional that you sometimes forget what you try to do and say. This is where IPR comes in to clear the fog and allow for effective communications that do work to increase your visibility and, crucially, grow your business reputation.
Born and educated to M.A. Hons in Scotland, now firmly placed in the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, Kathryn’s PR and Marketing experience has ranged from a leading London auction house to a wine agent supplying blue-chip companies in the grocery sector.
Working alongside a London Press Agency enabled Kathryn to develop commercial insight, creativity and style. She was then tasked with setting up an in-house PR and Marketing department, strengthening her creativity and leadership skills and ability to control multiple projects and strategic brand plans.
It was time to go it alone!
Her freelance work with start-ups and existing organisations, both in-house and external, allowed her to draw on all her experience to offer compelling, commercial and creative disciplines supported by a fun, active and professional approach.
“Kathryn has been creating outstanding PR throughout her career across an incredibly diverse range of sectors and has the maturity, skills and deep experience to deliver an outstanding job, whatever her clients ask.“
