About Us
THE PLAYGROUND PR is a full service traditional PR and Digital Marketing Agency focussing on the cornerstones of a well represented brand: Targeted Media Coverage (Press & Radio Plugging), Event Promotion, Marketing, Social Media and Video. Targeted media coverage puts your name and proposition in some of the most influential titles around. Event Promotion brings brands and artists directly to fans, Social media can help you connect with new customers long before traditional marketing efforts begin to work and our content creation and video services ensure that your message is accurate, consistent and meaningful across all your assets.
Our goal is to drive visibility, engagement, fan acquisition and commercial gain by building positive awareness of your profile within the relevant digital, print and radio communities. Creativity is at the forefront of the company’s vision- implementing fresh ideas always makes an impact.
Whilst serving a diverse spectrum of clients – from musicians in the rock, folk, electronic through to creative brands including festivals and mobile apps – we’ve built a family of close partners and collaborators to help deliver our cutting-edge digital marketing strategies and creative campaigns.
“Working with THE PLAYGROUND PR has been a very rewarding experience and helped considerably about putting the word out. The promotion was all high quality and most importantly, relevant to the audience we were aiming for.”

“One of Londons most audacious music forces”- DJ MAG
Based within a Photographic/ Film studio with a fully built “Infinity Cove” we understand the importance of well crafted video for your band, brand or website. Nothing makes your product more clear and compelling than a finely crafted video. News sites and social media love great videos, so it also boosts your media coverage and buzz. Even top firms like Google and Apple that don’t struggle for exposure are increasingly turning to video, as it delivers a much more powerful and controlled message. We start with a storyboard, so there’s minimal commitment until you can see how it will take your message to a new level of clarity and impact. Some of what we can do to achieve a coherent, consistent and attractive product:
- Website Design
- Banner Design
- Professional photo shoots with post-production
- Professional video shoots (introductory clips, live performances and full promotional music videos
- HTML Email Design
- Album Artwork
- Event/Tour Posters
- Branding & Logos
- Live Visuals For Stage Shows

With a fully staffed publishing arm you have an opportunity to have your music heard in films, TV shows, ads and games.
