About us

We tell inspiring stories and break cutting-edge science, using ahead of the curve communications tactics.

This is the mission Rachel Holdsworth set for her PR agency. She believed in it so much that she put her name to it.

20 years on, a lot has changed and so have we. But our mission is still the same.

Holdsworth Associates’ friendly team has expertise in public relations, digital strategies, social communities, content production, copy writing, web development, crisis communications, media monitoring, media training and influencer marketing to provide your business that added value you are looking for.

We have a strong network of freelance associates who provide flexible resources, who we have worked with before and who we trust to do a good job as part of any client campaign. This means we can provide you with additional capacity to best suit your needs.

Our big-picture thinking, underpinned by the insight and agility of a local agency, also means we’ve won a wall-full of awards for our work. And we’d like to do this for you too, drop us a line.
