Publicity, consultancy and advocacy for culture and activism – let’s tell your story.
We love the unmissable and bold; the unapologetic and artistically possessed. With a portfolio including Pussy Riot, ALOK, Travis Alabanza and Leyla Josephine, Storytelling PR specialises in the revolutionary live performance of this age.
Year-round, we run The Royal Lyceum Edinburgh press office (including programme announcements, press nights and more) and deliver publicity and campaigns for both UK touring theatre and shorter runs, with current and previous clients including DARKFIELD, tiata fahodzi, Theatre Centre, Summerhall (Fringe press office), Stellar Quines, Sh!t Theatre, the ReCreate Agency and FERAL Arts.
Based in Edinburgh year-round, we know Scotland’s arts scene – including the Edinburgh Festival Fringe – inside-out, and pride ourselves on top-class artist care.
The team is made up of Managing Director & Founder Miriam Attwood; Executive Director Emma Ainley-Walker; Senior Publicists Ambrose Kelly and Polly Glynn; Publicists Fergus Craig, Kirsty Somerville; Marketing and Press Officer Agnes Wang; General Manager Rowan Campbell; and Marketing and Communications Officer Calum Brown.
Despite every project having a chosen campaign lead, we work collaboratively as a team to get the most out of our combined knowledge, creativity, and genre-spanning contacts. This method has allowed us to get some truly impressive coverage for our artists, companies, and creatives – and it makes every day in the office more open, interesting, and inspiring.
“The best feminist PR company in the UK.”
