Be Broadcast

Be Broadcast is a specialist broadcast PR consultancy. This means we'll get you on TV and Radio. 

To get there, we’ll get under the skin of your brand and build a campaign which fits both key messaging and the key factors broadcasters will need.

Our USP is Senior Delivery and Senior Consultancy.

Put simply this means the person you deal with will be the person who also deals with media. All too often in this sector, things are lost in translation as they are handed over.

We also limit the number of campaign launches to one per week – meaning that your story is not competing internally at Be Broadcast with other clients or campaigns. It also means that your key moment has the entire focus and attention it deserves.

The consultancy is led by Josh Wheeler who has 10 years of experience in broadcast PR (with a further five in traditional PR). His award-winning work spans some of the leading broadcast consultancies in the UK – he is now aiming to reshape the way we look at broadcast PR.

BroadcastPR Expert – Getting Brands on TV & Radio | Broadcast Consultancy & Media Relations | Media Training | Speaker | bebroadcast.co.uk

👋 Why listen to me? Because I have built campaigns for leading organisations across almost every sector and delivered consistent award-winning work since 2010. I’m now taking the approach that has helped me to grow and putting into my own agency – Be Broadcast.
 
I love getting under the skin of issues and working out what makes people impacted tick to inspire change. I work back from that weaving in the role the brand plays in order to solve or make it better.

🤩Now it’s your turn…

You’ve seen me (and your peers) sharing their incredible broadcast results on LinkedIn, hitting key messages, and finding creative ways to reach their audiences. 

And that’s without mentioning the possibilities to bring in new customers and the limitless potential broadcastPR can have on the bottom line. 

But you’re either not sure where to start, or you’ve started and you seriously want to level up.

If you’re ready to see a real ROI through broadcast PR your operatives need to be doing it right, not handling it like a factory – churning out ‘hit and miss’ content. 

I can work with you to develop strategies that my clients use to increase their sales, grow their brands and 
take advantage of audio and visual media on behalf of the brand.
