About The Foundry PR
We're The Foundry PR — and we get local businesses found online
We're a small, friendly PR and digital marketing agency based in Sussex. We work with local businesses — restaurants, builders, garden centres, independent shops, and everything in between — helping them get noticed online, earn press coverage, and build the kind of reputation that brings customers to them.
Our story
Good PR shouldn't just be for big companies with big budgets
The Foundry PR was built on a pretty simple idea: that good PR — and the online visibility that comes with it — shouldn't be something only big companies can afford. Every business has a story worth telling. We help you tell it across digital publications, the local press, and social media, in a way that builds your reputation and helps customers find you.
We started working with local businesses because we spotted a gap. Plenty of agencies were happy to take on national brands and corporate clients. But the independent restaurant owner, the family-run building firm, the garden centre that's been on the same road for thirty years — they were being left to figure out the digital world on their own. Meanwhile, their competitors were quietly climbing Google and picking up the customers they were missing.
That didn't sit right with us. So we built something different.
How we work
Straight-talking, no faff, and genuinely invested in your success
We keep things simple. No jargon, no mystery, no long contracts. We get to know your business properly, work out what makes you stand out, and then get to work — through press coverage and online features that raise your profile, content that answers what your customers are searching for, and social media that keeps you visible, trusted, and front of mind. We're honest, reliable, and we'll always tell you what we actually think.
No jargon
We explain everything in plain English. Digital PR, SEO, online reach — we'll tell you exactly what we're doing and why it matters, without making your eyes glaze over.
No long contracts
All our packages are rolling monthly. We'd rather earn your business every month than lock you in and hope for the best.
Real results
We measure success by what actually happens — coverage secured, more people finding you online, a stronger social media presence, and new customers choosing you over the competition.
Local knowledge
We know Sussex, Surrey and Kent — the press, the digital publishers, and the online communities that matter here. That local know-how means your story lands in the right places, with the right people.
Why local matters
We know this patch of England — online and off
We know Sussex, Surrey, and Kent. We know which local news sites carry real weight online, which digital publishers your customers actually read, and what kinds of stories get shared in local communities — online and off. That matters because getting coverage isn't just about being seen — it's about being seen in the right places, by the right people. When we pitch your story, we already know exactly where it needs to land.
