ABOUT ROB PHILLIMORE

Freelance public relations consultant and CPD-certified AI trainer, working with B2B technology and enterprise business across the UK and globally. 10 years experience across PR, marketing and communications, both in-house and agency. Now delivering senior PR and communications as a senior external partner.

I work with organisations that need senior communications thinking without adding a permanent hire. That usually means fractional PR leadership, ongoing retainer partnerships or fixed-fee projects for specific moments like funding rounds, product launches or building visibility in AI-driven search.

BACKGROUND

• Senior PR consultancy and fractional PR leadership for B2B technology and enterprise organisations

• Media relations across UK, European and international trade and business press

• Executive thought leadership, LinkedIn content and long-form editorial

• Category positioning and strategic communications counsel

• AI search visibility and GEO strategy, including dedicated audit and citation-building work

• Pre-announcement campaigns for funding rounds, product launches and major milestones

• AI for PR training workshops for in-house and agency communications teams

WHAT I DO

B2B technology (SaaS, enterprise software, deep tech, AI, fintech, health tech), industrial and engineering, space, aerospace and creative industries. The common thread is organisations operating in technical or complex categories, where communications needs to translate specialist detail into commercial narrative.

SECTOR EXPERIENCE

Engagements are led and delivered by me directly, from first conversation through to ongoing delivery. Clients work with one senior consultant throughout, from first conversation through to ongoing delivery, without an account manager layer or junior team running the activity.

The consultancy is remote-first, with client work delivered across the UK and internationally. In-person meetings, workshops and events are available on request across the UK, with international travel for consultancy engagements and training delivery considered on a case-by-case basis.

HOW I WORK

I'm an AI trainer and use tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini every day in live PR work. Earned media and third-party citations are now the primary inputs for how organisations appear in AI-driven search, making PR more strategically important than it has been in years.
