About - The Corner Shop PR

Providing quality service and extensive experience

Why Corner Shop?

Your local corner shop is where you get your milk and newspaper, where you hear about what is happening in the community and where the owner knows you by name and anticipates your needs. We at The Corner Shop PR are all about that: the personal approach.

We are small but mighty

We all come from inhouse rather than agency backgrounds and between us we have decades of experience of promoting arts and events, destinations and tourism products.

We become part of your team. We invest time in building the relationships and adapting to your ways of working. All this to make sure we tell your story your way.

Visual arts. Theatre. Multi or single form festivals. Dance. Circus. Music of all genres.

We deliver bespoke and creative campaigns promoting almost every art form there is. We are proud of the diverse range of clients we are lucky enough to work with, and that many have been with us since we started, and we love discovering new companies to add to our family.
