Following the retirement of the owner of her previous PR agency, LeighAnne Roberts launched Really PR in late 2023, bringing to the table an established client portfolio, trusted media relationships, and an editorialled approach. The effectiveness of her PR for manufacturers and specialist brands stems from her journalism background, as, across her career, Leigh-Anne has worked on a high-end KBB consumer magazine and was the editor of an award-winning trade publication. This shaped how Leigh-Anne approaches PR. Leigh-Anne’s knowledge translates into retained and project-based support spanning everything from award-entry writing and PR support to press office services, across which she will become an extension of her client’s in-house marketing team or provide tailored support when the resource does not exist internally. The variety her role brings is something Leigh-Anne values, as one day she could be helping a flooring manufacturer to launch a commercial collection and the next she could be providing PR support for growing businesses. Irrespective of the project or the client, honesty, communication, and trust underpin how Leigh-Anne and Really PR work. The relationships she builds with clients are also key, as the best ideas emerge through regular conversation rather than a formal brief. It is also important for Leigh-Anne to work with people who understand that effective PR is a long-term process. More than writing and distributing a press release, PR requires understanding a business, recognising overlooked stories, building relationships, and consistently creating new, exciting opportunities. Given how quickly the media landscape continues to change, PR professionals like Leigh-Anne must also adapt to new formats and changing habits. Yet, there is still real value to be found in print magazines, trade exhibitions, and established industry relationships across the KBBB industry, and that is why Really PR’s approach is tailored to both the client and their audience, and covers physical and digital channels. For Leigh-Anne, sharing her client’s stories across every media channel is part of a much bigger shift. She told us: “As the number of traditional editorial opportunities shrinks, businesses can no longer rely exclusively on third-party publications to tell their stories. They increasingly need to act as publishers in their own right, developing useful content for their websites, social channels, newsletters, and sales teams.” This content should work alongside third-party recognition, which offers credibility outside of a company’s ecosystem. Helping her clients to maximise their output from the diverse media landscape, Leigh-Anne regularly draws from her little black book of trusted industry contacts to support projects across her devoutly founder-led KBB and interiors PR agency. These contacts include freelance journalists, editors, graphic designers, photographers, videographers, and web designers, and are people whose work is known to Leigh-Anne and whom she can trust to match the level of care and professionalism she brings to every project. Supported by this network of trusted professionals, Leigh-Anne commented that the next stage for Really PR is about focused and sustainable growth. She currently has space for one or two retained clients, as well as selected project work, for the rest of 2026 and 2027. Leigh-Anne is also looking to develop more focused consultancy and project services for businesses not yet in need of a full retained press office. This is especially useful for SMEs, as many assume that good PR support is out of their reach. With Leigh-Anne, it is not. Finally, reflecting on the recognition of her emerging KBB and interiors PR agency in this programme, Leigh-Anne told us: “Being named Best Renovation & Interiors PR Agency 2026 in the SME News UK Enterprise Awards is an important milestone for Really PR. The business is still relatively young, but it is built on 16 years of specialist sector experience, established media relationships, and long-term work with recognised brands.” By offering bespoke support grounded in the difference KBB businesses seek from their PR provider, Really PR excels where many larger agencies fail. Whether an SME is looking for someone to fit around their existing marketing agencies and teams or a full-service solution to handle all of their needs, this award-winning PR expert will more than rise to the occasion.
