Why it made our list
A media consultancy that provides media strategy publicity advice and journalism services to individuals wishing to sell stories to national newspapers and women’s magazines, Talk To The Press was founded by former freelance journalist Natasha in January 2008. The idea is to allow interested parties a way of contacting the press instead of being sought out by the journalists. On finding some 5,000 searches in Google each month for ‘sell my story’, ‘talk to the press’ etc, Natasha felt she’d found a niche. Clients include GMTV, This Morning and The Daily Mail.
