New premises or expansion
Moved into a bigger unit on one of the industrial estates? Opened a second site? That's a growth story, and growth stories are the easiest thing in the world to place.
Home/PR Mansfield
Public Relations · Mansfield & North NottsMansfield businesses have better stories than they think.
There's a persistent idea in north Notts that PR is for big companies with something dramatic to announce. It isn't. A new unit, a contract win, an apprentice intake, a hard-won opinion about your trade — all of it is publishable, and all of it works harder for you online than another boosted Facebook post.
The local reality
There's barely a PR agency in Mansfield. That's the problem and the opportunity.
Most north Nottinghamshire businesses that want PR end up hiring from Nottingham, Sheffield or Derby — and quickly discover the quote assumes a retainer, an account manager, and a minimum twelve-month term. For a business doing solid trade in Sutton or Kirkby, that maths never works, so PR gets filed under "one day".
We run it differently because we're digital-only and we own the titles. There's no travel cost, no account management layer, and no minimum term. You buy published articles — one at a time if you like — and you get the live URL when it publishes.
"You don't need a twelve-month retainer to get published. You need one good story and someone who'll actually publish it." — Inkd
What we publish
Six stories nearly every Mansfield business already has.
If you're stuck on "we don't really have any news", start here. One of these almost always applies.
Apprentices and hiring
Taking on apprentices in a skilled trade is genuinely newsworthy in a region where skills shortages are the recurring business story. It also reads brilliantly to future customers and recruits.
Expert commentary
You know things about your trade that customers get wrong constantly. Written up properly, that becomes an article — and positions you as the person in Mansfield who actually knows.
Founder story
Twenty years in the trade, started in a van, now employing eleven people. That's a story. Family firms and owner-operators are the backbone of the north Notts economy and readers respond to it.
Awards and contracts
Shortlisted for something? Won a contract with a name people recognise? Say so publicly, with a link, on a site Google indexes — not just on LinkedIn where it disappears in a day.
Community and charity
Sponsoring a junior team, running a fundraiser, supporting a local cause. Handled without smugness, this is the coverage that builds genuine local goodwill.

FAQ
PR in Mansfield, answered.
Is there a PR agency in Mansfield?
Very few based in the town itself, which is why most north Notts businesses end up hiring from Nottingham, Sheffield or Derby — and getting quoted accordingly. We work the area from Nottingham on a digital-only model, so there's no travel cost in the fee and no minimum retainer.
How much does PR cost for a small Mansfield business?
£95 for a single published feature, £395 for a five-piece pack, £295 a month for an ongoing three-piece retainer. No minimum term — which matters here, where most businesses sensibly want to test something before signing up for a year.
My business isn't newsworthy. Is it?
Almost certainly more than you think. New premises, an apprentice intake, a contract win, an award shortlisting, an anniversary, a charity partnership, a new service, or just a genuinely useful expert opinion. It doesn't have to be national news to be publishable — it has to be true and worth reading.
Will coverage help me show up on Google?
Yes, two ways. The coverage carries editorial links that pass ranking signals, and it lifts branded search volume — one of the stronger correlates with local map pack position. The two compound, which is why we usually quote coverage and link building together.
Can I approve the article before it publishes?
Always. Nothing goes live without your sign-off. You see the draft, change what you want, and we publish when you're happy.
Do you cover Worksop, Newark and Bolsover?
Yes — the whole of north Notts and over the borders into Derbyshire. Same service, same prices.
