I thoroughly enjoyed working with Frances for my debut album project. Her professionalism, insider knowledge of the music industry, and, most of all, her kindness and enthusiasm make her an ideal partner and a real asset. Her ability to genuinely and warmly connect with others means she has an excellent network and reputation, and, as a PR professional with excellent flair, her initiatives often pay off. Proactive, dynamic, and open to new ideas, Frances is great and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her PR services.

Frances is a terrific publicist and a joy to work with – enthusiastic, knowledgeable, responsive, thorough in her approach, generous with her time….. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Working with Frances Wilson at Hertfordshire Festival of Music has been an absolute pleasure this year. Not only has the online following gone through the roof but her social media content has been imaginative, beautifully aligned with the festival ethos, and shared in a way that stimulates conversation. What more could a Festival ask for!
James Francis Brown, Artistic Director, Hertfordshire Festival of Music
Frances brought a huge amount to the Royal School of Church Music’s Platinum Project, and she was a joy to work with throughout. From her work with the initial release and her wide-ranging approach to the ongoing nature of the project, Frances really took time to understand and engage with the RSCM’s wider aims to promote choral singing all over the world – and her work enabled us to reach an incredibly wide audience with what has now become a ‘legacy work’.
Frances has a unique combination of attributes and abilities combining pragmatic, administrative skills and an eye for detail with creativity and an ability to “ think outside the box” with a proactive attitude. She is diligent, hard-working, prompt and quick to respond, happy to ‘go the extra mile’ trouble-shoot and work beyond her remit when required. In addition, she has an in-depth knowledge of the music world and music networks.
I could not run my organisation without Frances and am delighted to recommend her highly and without reservation
Yvonne Evans, Director, 7 STAR ARTS
I have worked with Frances for several years and am highly impressed with her imaginative, organised and dedicated approach.
Frances has consistently worked to incorporate new and traditional approaches to reaching audiences and raising public awareness; her structured publicity plans are consistently updated and she has constantly compared her ideas with what I have been intending to achieve. She ‘moves ideas forward’ in a way that ensures that brainstorming sessions give value and realise results. Her sense of timekeeping is such that she is not caught out by publication or advertising deadlines and has time to optimise the actions that she has put in place.
Frances has high-level skills as a proofreader and considerable experience of producing or advising on effective publicity materials, a skill set that pays for itself many times over. An active and experienced musician, she has an insider’s feel for the material with which she is working and has plenty of interesting input for her clients to consider.
As a social media exponent, I would say that Frances is ahead of the curve, working tirelessly to keep her profile current and engaging for a wide range of networks.
