About Us

JILL BROWN
FOUNDER & OWNER

I am a journalist and broadcaster and have run my own Glasgow-based PR consultancy for 17 years. A highly-skilled communicator, I specialise in telling compelling stories and raising the profile of individuals and organisations. A former TV presenter, reporter and producer, I have worked in radio and have also produced and presented television documentaries. I continue to work as a journalist and am a regular contributor to radio, TV programmes and podcasts.

I offer communications and media consultancy, and media training, to a wide range of organisations. Creating opportunities for people to use their voice and to tell their story is something about which I’m passionate. I come from a musical family, am a singer-songwriter and received critical acclaim for my music. In 2020, I established the social enterprise, Conviction Records, working with prisoners and ex-offenders.
