Matt in a few words
Public relations professional, primarily with experience in corporate communications and executive profiling in the media & technology sectors. Most recent experience is with earlier-stage companies who are starting to look at media relations as a vehicle to raise funding and attract new customers and partners.

Matt has 20+ years experience, mostly in tech PR. After almost a decade in the recorded music industry, where he became the record labels' primary media spokesperson, he led corporate tech PR and product publicity campaigns for the BBC.

Since 2012, he's worked as an independent consultant and in agency leadership roles, advising SMEs & startups, and larger brands such as TransferWise and Reach PLC.

He founded and exited a pay-as-you-go PR agency PPR (2017-2022) which delivered hundreds of pieces of coverage for over 50 marketing services firms and tech scaleups.
Experience
  • Matt Phillips PR
    PR Consultant
    November 2022 - Today (2 years and 3 months)
    Blewbury, Didcot OX11, UK
    As a self-employed consultant I provide strategic PR advice to a small portfolio of SMEs and startups - helping them use earned (and owned) media alongside paid-for marketing to deliver business objectives. I also provide interim support for agencies at director-level: whether that's driving growth/ business development, managing and advising clients, or on the operational side.

  • PPR
    Founder & MD
    November 2017 - November 2022 (5 years)
    London, UK
    PPR was a pay-as-you-go PR service for scaleups. Matt Phillips founded the company after 15 years in tech PR (working with brands such as BBC, Universal Music, TransferWise, Mirror Group and dozens of startups) to solve the problem of high 'sunk cost' agency retainer fees that put quality PR out of reach for most smaller brands. After five successful years, that saw the business deliver hundreds of pieces of media coverage for over 50 different clients, Matt shut the business to focus on delivering an enhanced growth consultancy service (of which PR remains a key part) for a smaller group of clients.
  • Propeller Group
    Senior Consultant
    November 2017 - May 2018 (6 months)
    London, UK
    Providing strategic counsel & services such as media training to Propeller's client base. Exited in May 2018 to focus on my own practice.
