Thought Leadership PR's Team of Experts
Helen Croydon
Founder & DirectorBehind Thought Leadership PR's concept is Helen Croydon. She created a fresh approach to PR, focussing on raising the profiles of the leaders behind a business, rather than the business itself. That's because people have more PR value than businesses do.
It's also because, with nearly two decades experience working as a journalist across broadcast, radio and print, and as a best-selling author, she had to work hard to raise her own profile.
Helen has written for every major national UK newspaper from The Sunday Times to Metro to The Daily Mail, worked as a producer for ITN for a decade and has appeared on Sky News, BBC News Channel, ITV This Morning, Newsnight, Woman’s Hour and more.
It is this decades worth of knowledge and media contacts with which she applies her unique results-driven formula for creating thought leaders and shaping personal brands as subject matter experts.
