About Us

PR is a proven and powerful tool for establishing, developing and consistently reinforcing a company’s brand, products and services amongst members of its target audience.

The Blueprint Media team is recognised by editors and journalists across a range of titles both in the UK and overseas as a reliable, no-nonsense source of stories their readers want to read.

We tell our customers’ stories, of success, of growth and expansion and of achievement. We help them announce new premises, new services and new improved products.

We help them also campaign on issues which matter to them, whether they be in opposition to proposed legislation, their commitment to a worthy charitable cause or to telling the market about important new developments in a particular sector.

In the Internet age every business and organisation needs to be conscious of its media profile since prospective customers invariably check out their potential suppliers’ Google profiles as well as their websites.

By having an extensive media profile our customers not only boost significantly their all-important search engine optimisation ranking, but also the likelihood that prospective customers will do business with them.

How We Work

Blueprint Media is run by Drew Johnston and Michael Crawford together with a five strong-team of business writers and account executives.

We love what we do – telling the world the stories of our customers’ successes – and doing it exceptionally well.

Blueprint Media’s network of contacts and its understanding of how media works secures the consistently successful placing of authoritative information about clients’ activities, personalities, 

and strategies in national, professional, trade and financial publications and across new media and social networks.

Our messages are created by professional journalists who are in tune with media appeal and understand intuitively what publications and websites are looking for. Its distribution system is run by dedicated account managers who build a personal relationship with clients and develop a clear understanding of business needs and ambitions.
