Wiltshire PR expert to take centre stage at business expo

Public relations expert, journalist and sought-after presenter Fiona Scott will be taking to the stage next month when she delivers a keynote speech at the London Expo.

Fiona, Managing Director of Swindon-based Scott Media, will be talking about the art of storytelling in PR, and her entrepreneurial journey, at the London Expo in Windsor on Thursday, June 12.

The event being organised by The Great British Expos is a leading business networking and educational opportunity for small business owners and entrepreneurs.

Fiona, who runs her own platform for speakers – Scott Media Speakers – is passionate about inspiring SME owners to make PR central to their marketing activity.

As a journalist who has worked in newspapers and television, Fiona helps small businesses and entrepreneurs raise their profile in the media through the power of storytelling.

“It’s a privilege to be asked to present at the London Expo,” said Fiona. “I am looking forward to the opportunity to share my journey as a business owner, how I have used PR in my business and how we deploy storytelling to enhance the profile and reputation of our Scott Media clients.”

Fiona has written a book on her experiences as a business owner called the Hard Yards which details her journey in the first ten years of running her own business. Her second - Tales of a Backwater Journalist – will be published at the end of the year.

“I’ve been in journalism now for more than 38 years, so a lot has happened, a lot has changed, and I’ve enjoyed getting some of my stories into print – and print, is where I started off in newspapers!”

Fiona’s presentation, called ‘The Art of Storytelling: The Entrepreneurial Journey’, will be at 10.15am.

Also presenting at the London Expo will be Swindon-based Rob Curtis, a digital marketer and founder of The Pursuit Agency, who is a member of Scott Media Speakers platform. His presentation will be on ‘Scaling for Success’.

The London Expo runs from 10am to 3pm, at Royal Windsor Racecourse, and tickets are free. For more information, visit https://www.greatbritishexpos.co.uk/event/thames-valley-expo-windsor/.
