In House Consultancy
Nigel Howle has years of expertise of working inside organisations. He can work in house with your senior team flexibly, from half a day to four days a month.
Perhaps you have a marketing lead but no-one to plan or write your news, or you may need to plan a campaign prior to attending events and expos.
Website Copy
Many companies are looking to develop a new website or refresh what they have now.
You may have found a highly trusted web developer and you’re both raring to go.
Problems can occur when it comes to the copy. Your developer will want you to provide the words for the site.
We can meet with you and, if you prefer, your developer, and discuss what pages you need and what you want on them.
This could help to speed up the process and get your project to completion.
We can also work with photographers and videographers as necessary.
Howle Communications can recommend web developers, for example, Amy from Clyq Ltd, who has developed this site.
Blogs
Once your website goes live, you will need to update it.
One of the best ways to do this is with news or blogs.
Blogs can drive traffic to your website, enhance your SEO, and help to establish your company staff as experts in their field.
You should blog on your website and then share to social media platforms.
Examples of useful blogs could include industry news, how to tutorials, articles on your charitable endeavours, innovation and new products.
Campaigns
Do you have something important to say but unsure how to say it?
If so, one news release is never going to be enough.
Examples could include:
- A brewer looking to further beer tax relief
- A family lawyer campaigning for no fault divorces
- A training consultancy hoping to improve the recruitment of apprentices.
- We’ll help you to plan a campaign and to find the right words.
Crisis Communications
Sometimes it can be inevitable that you may make the news for the wrong reasons.
You may have a major accident on a building site and fall foul of health and safety law, suffer an outbreak of legionella bacteria in your care home, or have to shed jobs.
Over four decades, Nigel Howle has helped many organisations, in the public and private sectors, to cope with a crisis.
This may involve forward planning, getting ahead of the bad news, answering media inquiries, and media training.

In-house Consultancy
Do you need in house support without paying a full time salary?
Maybe you have a marketing manager who would value PR support?
Nigel can come into your office for a half day or full day each week to work with your team.
This is an opportunity to both discuss immediate needs and to plan ahead. You may need regular support with website blogs, a PR plan, publicity for events and exhibitions, or be planning to enter awards.
Nigel has worked in busy media offices and has mentored inexperienced PR teams.
