About Martin Walker
Martin Walker has worked in the media industry for more than 10 years after starting out as a trainee reporter with the Middlesbrough Evening Gazette in 1998.
He joined the publications and PR team at Middlesbrough FC in 2000 and worked on a number of publications, ranging from the matchday programme, club magazine and history books, as well as dealing with high-profile managers and players on a day-to-day basis.
Martin then joined Sunderland AFC in February 2005 and spent a little over four years at the Stadium of Light working in the club’s Media and PR department, a role which covered various areas of the club including day-to-day PR issues, media relations, marketing and copywriting for all areas of the club, from the website, matchday programme to the club’s monthly business e-bulletin, Business Shorts.
Pricing
We can look at various different ways of pricing to fit your budget, whether it’s one-off jobs on an “as-and-when” arrangement, or whether it’s a monthly retainer for a specific amount of work per month.
Either way, we want what’s best for you and your business so that you get the best out of us, achieve the desired results and get overall value for money.
You might only need one press release issuing per month - that’s fine, we’ll take care of that for you at a pre-agreed rate on an ongoing basis.
Or maybe you need more than that - we can manage all your media requirements (press releases, photography, graphic design, media relations, advertising management) for an agreed monthly fee.
But rather than have set rates for specific jobs, we prefer to help you work within your budget and be realistic when it comes to what you can afford.
Get in touch so we can discuss your requirements and how to get the best out of your budget.
We look forward to hearing from you.
