Hello!

[Jonny Sharp]

Hello everyone,

My name is Jonny Sharp and I run a public relations agency called SharpPR. I focus on media relations and help to raise the profile of businesses by getting them in the news.

I started out in my career as a newspaper journalist working my way up from local and regional titles to later working for some of the country's best known national newspapers and magazines.

I really love what I do as effective PR can work wonders for many businesses from the smallest of SMEs to corporate giants.

I think myself lucky now to have been a cub reporter at the age of 21 as I learned all those years ago what news really was - and those instincts as a 'news hound' have stayed with me throughout my career.

Based in Warwickshire, my typical working day could consist of drafting a newsy press release, writing a company profile or case study and building relationships with the media.

I am looking forward to keeping up to speed with the latest news and posts on here, and sharing knowledge and know-how.

Cheers for now,
Jonny

Welcome to the forum, Jonny. Would be interesting to read your views as to whether journalism has gone the same way as the dodo and coal mining.

Thanks for the welcome everyone! In a reply to Nochexman's post I would say there is still very much a future for journalism but we have seen for some years a decline in the circulation of newspapers and magazines as more readers get their information online. There will always be a market for news and businesses that seek to raise their profile in the media should embrace both print and online opportunities.
