I'm back in office! And not to be one of THOSE people that turns a holiday post into a business lesson but, that's exactly what I'm going to do!

Here's what my Egyptian holiday taught me about good PR and Crisis Comms planning (yes, really)

I’ve just returned from Egypt - I was meant to be ticking off bucket list moments: Exploring the Valley of the Kings, swimming in the sea, indulging in amazing food, and switching off properly for the first time in a while.

And I did… some of that. The trip into the Sahara to see a beautiful sunset and go stargazing was a particular highlight.

But I also spent a few days seriously unwell. The kind of ill that makes you question your life choices, I thought I may have needed to go to hospital at one point, and when I was doubled over in pain at 2am and cried at reception I thought it was all over and I'd need an early flight home.

When I raised it with staff, the response was consistent: “It’s the heat.”

Over and over again. No deviation. No admittance. And I’ll be honest - after a while, even I started to believe it.

Here’s the lesson:

Reputation management isn’t always about saying sorry — it’s about emotional response and consistency. They never apologised. But they also never left me to feel uncared for. Instead, they delivered exceptional service. Mint tea, water and Sprite appeared without asking. They checked in on me daily. They arranged extras, and offered discounts. And because of that… I won’t complain. I won’t leave a bad review. And I don’t even feel bitter.

That’s crisis comms done well:

- Stick to your story
- Deliver consistent messaging
- Pair it with genuinely thoughtful service
- Make people feel seen, heard, and looked after

Exceptional service can neutralise a bad experience - and that’s the real gem of great crisis comms.

The trip didn’t go entirely to plan, but once I reframed it as a wellness retreat (swimming, drinking lots of water and very plain food), it was still brilliant.
And I came home feeling refreshed - with a few PR reminders packed in my suitcase, too. Which is good because I've got an extremely busy month coming up and it's always good to have a refresher!

🌴 Out of Office 🌴

I’m officially out of office until 30th July – taking a well earned break and giving myself a belated 40th birthday present in the form of sun, adventure, and a little bit of escapism.

If you need me, I’ll be somewhere between walking through the Valley of the Kings pretending I’m an ancient Egyptian explorer or lying by the pool with a cocktail in hand, soaking up some well deserved rest. 🥂

As every self employed person knows… I might peek at my emails now and again, but I’m doing my best to switch off. So unless it's urgent then it can wait!

On that note - I’m fully booked for August, but there’s space in the diary come September – perfect timing if you’re planning something exciting for autumn.

Cheers bab!

TOMORROW

If you’ve ever thought TikTok wasn’t “for people like you” - think again.

Join me for a practical, no-fluff session on how real businesses are using TikTok to build visibility, grow their audience and drive sales. Whether you're a product based business, service provider, charity or freelancer, this session will help you understand what TikTok can actually do for you.

The important stuff;

Wednesday 16th July
2pm
Live on Zoom
£15
Book here: https://www.roseleighmedia.co.uk/eventsandtrainingsessions/p/tiktok-for-business-srtc7

This is ideal for people who've never even opened TikTok, or those who have but have no idea what they're doing. You just need a message worth sharing - and I’ll help you figure out how to do that on TikTok.

14/07/2025

Networking is definitely out of my comfort zone - but it's something I'm trying to do more of, in fact it's one of my "40 at 40" goals this year.

I’ve challenged myself to try 5 new networking sessions, and so far I’ve had a brilliant time and Socially Shared Womens Business Support Network, thanks to

Let’s be honest, networking is uncomfortable for everyone. You don’t want to sound too salesy, but you also don’t want to walk away feeling like you didn’t connect with anyone. And I’ll admit it… I’m not always great with the follow up. I never want to bother people. (I know I’m not alone in that!)

When people ask what I do, I tell them I run a PR and Comms agency. Yes, I do traditional PR -press releases for TV, radio, and newspapers - but also the not so traditional side of PR: social media, especially TikTok.

PR is really about storytelling. It's about getting your story in front of the right people - and that might be on the radio, or it might be on TikTok.

People's ears always prick up when I mention TikTok. There's still this misconception that it’s for kids and silly videos. But TikTok has overtaken Google as the most used search engine — and businesses are using it to scale massively. (Just look at P. Louise or Spudman!)

If you’re curious about how TikTok could work for your business, I’m running a relaxed, beginner friendly session this Wednesday. It’s perfect if you’re just starting to explore the platform and it's also a great opportunity to meet other like minded business owners looking to try something different.

So if you fancy a session that's part learning and part networking - come along, it's £15 and you can book here;

And if you have any great Networking recommendations let me know!

Think TikTok isn’t for you?

If you’ve written it off as just another trend or a waste of time, this session is for you. TikTok is now one of the most powerful tools for discovery, brand awareness, and customer connection - and it’s being used by businesses, charities and service providers every day to drive real results.

Join me on Wednesday 16th July at 2pm for What’s the point of TikTok? a no-nonsense introduction to how the platform works, what kind of content actually performs, and how to use it to grow your business. This is for those who've never looked at the app or who've downloaded it and now don't know what to do with it.

You’ll learn:
– Why TikTok is more search engine than social app
– How even small accounts can go viral
– What to post (even if you don’t want to show your face)
– How to use it to drive traffic, sales and visibility

Live on Zoom | £15 | Includes live Q&A
Book here; https://www.roseleighmedia.co.uk/eventsandtrainingsessions/p/tiktok-for-business-srtc7

Let’s take a fresh look at what TikTok really is, and how it could be the most useful tool you’re not yet using.

🚨🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGERS ARE NOT £25 A WEEK 🚨🚨

I saw a post recently where someone was asked to manage social media for £200 a month - and I thought that was cheeky. Then I found this actual request in my inbox that nearly made me swallow my own laptop:

“Looking for someone to manage our social media and create content 2–3 times a week. Budget is £25 per week.”

Sorry, WHAT?

I understand people may not have the budget when they are starting out, but if you want to grow then you have to invest and £25 is NOT it.

For £25 a week, I can offer you:

A nice chat
Maybe a meme?
Possibly a passive aggressive post about your budget

But full social media management AND content creation? That’s at least a day's work a week. My rate for that starts at £750 a month - and that’s before we even talk about strategy, content creation, captions, engagement, hashtags, and trying to beat the algorithm gods into submission.
I'm not even one of the expensive ones! I intentionally keep my prices accessible to support amazing causes, charities and women led businesses. But I still value my time, experience and skillset - and you should too.

Let’s stop undervaluing social media as a PR strategy, digital marketing and communications. If you want someone to grow your audience, boost visibility and create content that connects - it takes more than a fiver and a Canva login.

What do you think people honestly expect for £25 a week?

(Shout out to the guy who commented “please tell me that’s a joke” when I shared this story - I said I’d find the proof, and here we are 😅)

If you're ready to work with someone who knows their stuff and charges according to their amazing experience you know where I am.

07/07/2025

The first thing people say when I mention TikTok?
“Oh, so we’re doing dances now?”

And every time, it drives me nuts. Because for me, TikTok was never about that.

I joined when I was diagnosed with coeliac disease, searching for answers I couldn’t find anywhere else. My Doctor said “Just don’t eat gluten” and sent me on my way and at that point I had no idea where to turn. But eventually I found answers (on TikTok) - through real people sharing their stories, their struggles, and their solutions.

I’ve seen TikTok do so much more than entertain. I’ve watched small businesses grow to sold out launches.
I’ve seen people open up conversations about difficult, life changing topics.
I’ve grown my own PR agency through TikTok and had business leads from it.

So when people say “Oh group dance!” It really annoys me!

Last month, I was at a religion media conference in London and CNN reporter for the Vatican talked about the power of TikTok with the recent papal announcements. My ears pricked up. He talked about how they were still catering to those looking at mainstream media, but they had started posting on TikTok with reach of about 80 million. I had a conversation with him after his panel and honestly I felt so validated. For years I have been saying how important TikTok is for reaching a wider audience - and now here was a journalist from a major news organisation, talking about one of the biggest religious events of the year being on TikTok and he was reiterating my point.

I hope this will change perceptions. And one day when I talk about TikTok I would like the first thing said to me not to be “Oh are we doing are dance?” 🤦🏼‍♀️

If you’ve been dismissing it because it feels overwhelming or “not serious enough” - maybe it’s time to take another look?

Next week, I’m running a live session:

What’s the point of TikTok?
Wednesday 16 July, 2pm
£15
https://www.roseleighmedia.co.uk/eventsandtrainingsessions/p/tiktok-for-business-srtc7

We’ll cover:
How TikTok has overtaken Google as the most used search engine
What kinds of content actually work - even if you never want to show your face
Could you sell through TikTok Shop or build a service based brand
Why views matter more than followers - and how small accounts still go viral
Plus real world examples and practical strategy tips

If you’re curious but cynical - this is for you.
No dancing at all. Please.

Still not sure? Here’s some of my latest testimonials

30/06/2025

I love it when I get positive feedback (who doesn't) but this week I've had some of the best feedback I've ever received on my last TikTok for Business session - the kind that takes three slides to share properly!

I really appreciate it when people take the time to give me thoughtful and specific feedback which shows the real impact the session had. Reading it reminded me just how many people are still underestimating TikTok and assume it’s just not for them - when in just one short session I can show people how it's one of the most powerful PR tools of our generation.

I’m running the session again next week because I want to reach as many of you as possible. It’s just £15 and an hour long (plus time for questions) — what have you got to lose by being curious?

Come and find out "What's the Point of Tiktok?" This is for small businesses, charities, personal brands and anyone trying to make sense of the platform.

I've got two upcoming dates for the sessions live on Zoom:
Wednesday 16th July, 2pm
Wednesday 11th September, 2pm

Book here; https://www.roseleighmedia.co.uk/eventsandtrainingsessions

We’ll cover:
- What kind of content actually works (even if you don’t want to show your face)
- How to talk about serious or sensitive topics
- TikTok Shop
- Why TikTok has overtaken Google as a search tool
- Strategy tips for small teams, solo founders and organisations doing meaningful work
- Why views matter more than followers
- Q&A and real life examples to bring it all to life

Still on the fence? See the images for what someone said after the last session.... Join me for one of the upcoming dates and let’s take the “ick” out of TikTok.

24/06/2025

I’ve spent years working in PR, comms and social media, and what I’ve learned is that most people have something brilliant to share… they just need a bit of help getting seen.

I joined TikTok during the pandemic, mostly out of curiosity and I’ve watched it evolve into one of the most powerful tools for visibility, community and brand growth. Despite that, a lot of people still don’t take it seriously.

But the truth is, TikTok isn’t just for Gen Z or big brands with big content budgets. It’s an incredible space to connect with your audience in a way that feels real and human.

That’s why I run accessible, relaxed training sessions on platforms like TikTok which are focused on helping people and organisations show up. Whether you’re a founder, freelancer or comms lead at a small charity, there’s something for you.

Here’s what’s coming up;
- What’s the point of TikTok? A great overview to give you a flavour for the platform and how it might work for you
- ✨ NEW ✨ TikTok for creators and building a personal brand. If you want to use TikTok outside of your business, I’ll talk you through how to grow a real personal brand and use the platform as a content creator
- How to develop a social media strategy. A great session to work out where you should be putting your effort in on social media - where are your audience and how do you connect with them

I’d love to see more people using TikTok and social media in ways that feel good — not overwhelming.

You can find all the dates and info on my website:

Or drop me a message if you’re not sure which one’s right for you — always happy to help.

23/06/2025

I'm on a mission to help everyone understand what TikTok can do for them.

If you're a charity, small businesses, and anyone trying to build a personal brand - if TikTok has felt overwhelming, confusing or just “not for you,” I’ve got something that might help.

I’m running a session to help you get to grips with what it’s really all about.

It’s called What’s the point of TikTok?

We’ll cover the basics - how it works, what to post, how often - but also how to use it when your content isn’t light and fluffy. Because yes, you can talk about serious stuff on TikTok, and still connect with the right audience.

TikTok has become one of the most powerful platforms for building trust, raising awareness and connecting with people who need to hear what you have to say. Did you know it's also overtaken Google as the most used search engine?

This session is for people who think, “I’ve got nothing to post” or “TikTok’s not for people like me,” I promise you it is. I’ll show you how.

There’s still time to book. Join me live and bring your questions.

21/06/2025

I’ve finally added my prices to my website and it's only take me two years of running my business!

I've avoided it for so long - not because I didn’t have prices, but because I wasn’t sure people would pay them. Because (and this is vulnerable) I wasn’t confident enough to say, “This is what my work is worth.”

And maybe, if I’m honest, part of me thought that not showing my prices would help me have the conversation first. (Or worse losing potential clients before they even reached out.)

But here’s the thing:

I realised that not putting my prices out there might have been doing the opposite and putting people off. Making it harder for them to understand what I offer, how I work, and whether we’d be a good fit.

So I’ve changed that. I’ve added clear, upfront pricing to my website because I do believe in the value I bring.

And because good comms starts with transparency, right?

If you’ve been curious about what I do (or what it costs), you can now see it all upfront here: https://lnkd.in/gtUrYpQ2

And if you’re another small business owner still grappling with pricing confidence, you’re not alone.

It’s taken me two years to get here. But it feels good and like something worth recognising!

20/06/2025

Right now, TikTok is one of the most powerful platforms for visibility, connection, and growth and it’s not just for big brands, it's for EVERYONE.
