Claire Fulton Ray - Freelance Content And Pr Consultant

Via fruitful content writing and timely press activity, I open the door to a wealth of media and press contacts to help your business to fly. . .

Ever since writing about a blackbird eating fat juicy blackberries at the age of four, I have found great joy in creatively forming my ideas, dreams and thoughts into the written word. I am a published journalist with a BA Hons. degree in Communication and almost a decade of experience working as Marketing Manager for a multi-million-pound luxury travel company.
To be able to live in glorious North Cornwall and immerse myself in my passion as a writer is an absolute dream, and one which I am thankful for every single day.

CONTENT
Swimming against the tide of dry and apathetic content writers out there, I pride myself on harnessing my love of language to provide content which sparkles with passion, eloquence and professionalism. Through my work as a freelance content writer, I relish the chance to transform my clients' ideas and concepts into coherent, engaging and functional narrative to help their businesses flourish. I take the time to get to know my clients and learn about what they do in order to capture the ardour and creativity which originally sparked their business idea, translating their aspirations into a prose which will both attract and inspire their own clients.
I don't believe in a 'one size fits all' model. I covet a good old-fashioned, bespoke personalised service and take the time to establish the distinct needs of each business I work alongside. I work with clients to identify and fulfil those business needs, and to offer a tailor made content package that will make a company's website and online presence come to life, attracting the custom they want and deserve. Via fruitful content writing, intelligent blog posting and timely press activity, I open the door to the wealth of media and press contacts I have made throughout my career.
Your business deserves to fly. . . let me provide you with the content to enable it to do so.

PR
For the past decade I have forged a successful marketing and PR career specialising in luxury travel, the arts, fashion, interior design and property. My name is known and journalists trust me to provide the information and images they seek in the correct format and style which will help and not hinder. Rather than blindly pitching a press release to time-hurried journalists (who are already buckling under the weight of inboxes heaving with press releases), I pitch relevant ideas and place my clients and their businesses directly underneath the noses of my journalist contacts, without pestering them unnecessarily when they have strict deadlines to meet.
I will identify and implement marketing strategies such as affiliate partnerships, competitions, press features /visits and other business development ideas to help your business to spread its wings and fly.
I will introduce your business to relevant bloggers and industry insiders to encourage collaboration and make your brand more recognised, both on the web and in print. Backlinks and reviews will be instrumental in bolstering your SEO and ensuring your website is 'seen' by Google. To offer a flexible service to suit each client's needs, I offer two different PR package models; a results-based or a monthly retainer model. Please contact me to discuss your PR needs.

PROPERTY & INTERIORS WRITER
As a writer specialising in stylish homes, property renovations and beautiful interiors, I relish the chance to meet home owners from all walks of life to translate their stories into published magazine articles.

Working together with renowned photographer Tony Timmington, we create inspirational multi-paged features for publication in some of the nation's top homes and interiors titles. Proud home owners who have poured love and devotion into their home take delight in seeing the fruits of their labour immortalised in print.

Think aspirational builds, quirky interiors and striking design features. If you have (or know someone with) a beautifully stylish home with an interesting renovation story I would love to hear from you.

After being introduced to you and learning a little about your home I will pitch the feature idea to my editorial contacts. Once the article is commissioned, I will carry out a painless interview before arranging for a mutually suitable (ideally fine weather) day for the photographer to visit and carry out the professional photo shoot. It is a nice touch if you and your family can appear in the photos too, but if you are uncomfortable about this it is not imperative - your home is the star of the show!

The published article provides a special keepsake of the family home, whilst also serving as a fruitful publicity opportunity for a relevant business or venture. Once the magazine featuring your home has been published, the professional photographs will be yours to own.
