A note before you read on

To the Dublin founder who is tired of being the best-kept secret in the room

You did the hard part. You found the gap, hired the team, won the first customers and kept going through the months nobody saw. In Dublin, people know your name. Your clients recommend you. The local business community nods when you walk in.

Then you step outside that circle. A buyer in Manchester searches your company and finds a website and a LinkedIn page. An investor in London looks for independent proof and finds nothing. A procurement team compares you with a UK rival who has been written about in the national press, and you lose on credibility you already earned but never had published.

That gap is not about quality. It is about visibility. And it is fixable — quickly, and without a year-long retainer.

We are a London PR agency that has been placing stories since 2001. For Dublin businesses, we do one thing exceptionally well: we get your story into named UK and international publications, agreed in writing before you pay, so the next person who searches your name finds a reason to trust you.

The Dublin–London corridor

Your next market is an hour’s flight away — and it reads different newspapers

For Irish companies, the UK is not a distant export market. It is the biggest one. But UK buyers, investors and journalists judge you by what they can find in the publications they already trust.

That is opportunity, but also competition. Thousands of Irish companies are trying to be taken seriously by the same UK buyers. The ones who win the second meeting are usually the ones who look established before the first. Independent coverage in UK titles does that work for you: it answers “who are these people?” before anyone has to ask.

It works in the other direction too. International investors and partners who are considering a Dublin company increasingly check UK and global business media, not just Irish outlets. A feature on Yahoo Finance or Business Insider travels further than a single domestic mention, and it keeps working every time someone searches your name.

The honest line

What we can guarantee for a Dublin business — and what nobody can

Whichever Dublin PR agency you hire, you should know exactly what is being promised. Here is where our guarantee starts and stops.

Guaranteed, agreed in writing

  • Placement in named UK national, London and regional titles from our network, such as The Times, The Independent, Evening Standard, IB Times UK and Herald Scotland
  • UK business and finance titles, including Entrepreneur UK, Investing.com UK and ABC Money
  • International business and technology sites, including Yahoo Finance, Business Insider, TechCrunch, VentureBeat and USA Today
  • Lifestyle, culture and consumer titles, including Female First, OK! Magazine and Rolling Stone UK
  • The exact outlets, the price and the timing, confirmed before you commit

Pitched on merit, never promised

  • Irish national titles such as The Irish Times, the Irish Independent, the Irish Examiner and the Business Post
  • RTÉ News and other Irish broadcasters
  • Specialist Irish trade titles that choose every story editorially
  • Front pages, lead headlines and any “guaranteed feature” in an outlet that does not sell placements

Irish outlets are some of the most trusted in Europe — the Digital News Report Ireland 2025 found around 70% of people trust The Irish Times, and 68% trust the Irish Independent. That trust exists because editors decide. Any agency that “guarantees” them is overpromising.

Why Dublin businesses get in touch

What Dublin clients actually ask us for

Nobody wakes up wanting “PR”. They want a specific problem to go away. These are the requests that come up again and again — and what we do about each one.

We are opening in London next quarter and nobody there has heard of us.

What we do: a launch story in London and UK national titles timed to your opening, so your first UK customers can find independent coverage when they check you out.

Investors keep Googling us before the second meeting.

What we do: founder and funding stories in finance and business media such as Yahoo Finance, Investing.com UK and Business Insider — the sites that show up in due diligence.

We win in Ireland but lose UK tenders on credibility.

What we do: sector-relevant coverage your bid team can reference, so procurement panels see a company with a public track record, not an unknown.

We pitched the Irish nationals for months and heard nothing.

What we do: stop the lottery. We confirm the titles first, then write for them. You can keep pitching Irish outlets on merit alongside.

ChatGPT recommends our competitors, not us.

What we do: place you in indexed, reputable publications that AI assistants and Google draw on, with consistent facts about who you are and what you do.

We need something to show a big partner next month.

What we do: fast-turnaround placements with live links in days, not months, once you approve the copy.

Our founder should be the face of the company.

What we do: profile and thought-leadership pieces that position your founder as the expert voice in your category, in the UK and internationally.

An old article or review is the first thing people see.

What we do: positive, accurate coverage to rebalance your search results, and, where needed, our online reputation management team.

The invisible-abroad problem

Five reasons strong Dublin businesses stay invisible in the UK

These are rarely about the business itself. They are about how coverage works on each side of the Irish Sea.

1. Irish coverage does not always travel

A feature in a respected Irish title is valuable at home, but a UK buyer may never see it, and a search from Birmingham or Edinburgh often surfaces UK sources first. Credibility earned in Ireland needs to be made visible where your new customers look.

2. The domestic pitching queue is long

Ireland has a small number of national outlets and a large number of businesses competing for them. Months can pass between pitch and publication, if the story runs at all. Meanwhile your UK launch date does not move.

3. “We will get to PR later”

Growing companies put sales, hiring and product first. PR slides to next quarter, then the next. By the time it becomes urgent — a funding round, a tender, a launch — there is nothing published to point to.

4. The story is written for insiders

Technical language, acronyms and product detail make perfect sense inside your company and lose editors in the first paragraph. The fix is a sharper angle and plain English, not a longer press release.

5. Nobody owns it

In many Dublin scale-ups, PR sits between marketing, the founder and the sales team, so nobody has the time to find the story, write it and place it. That is precisely the work we take off your desk.

Across Dublin

From Silicon Docks to Sandyford: PR for every part of Dublin’s business map

Dublin’s business districts have their own characters, and each tends to produce a different kind of story.

Silicon Docks & Grand Canal Dock

Home to international technology companies and a growing number of Irish-founded software and AI businesses. The stories here are about products, customers, funding and talent. The challenge is standing out next to household-name neighbours, which is why a clear founder story and named customer results matter so much.

The IFSC & the Docklands

Funds, fintech, insurance, aviation leasing and professional services. Readers are finance professionals, institutional partners and investors, so accuracy and restraint count. Market commentary, senior appointments, partnerships and new UK or EU services all fit well in business and finance titles.

Sandyford, Cherrywood & the south county business parks

Corporate headquarters, pharma and medtech operations, engineering firms and B2B service companies. Many of these businesses sell into UK organisations and benefit from credible coverage their UK clients can find during procurement.

The city centre, Temple Bar & the Liberties

Hospitality, retail, design studios, creative agencies and visitor experiences. Openings, restorations, people with a story and reasons to visit this year make strong consumer and travel angles for UK audiences planning a trip to Dublin.

North County Dublin & Fingal

Food production, logistics, distribution and businesses clustered around Dublin Airport. Growth, new UK contracts, jobs and sustainability improvements give these companies strong stories for UK trade buyers and regional titles.

Wherever your office is, your free media plan will name the titles that reach the people you need, in Ireland’s biggest export market and beyond.

About Irish titles: The Irish Times, Irish Independent, Irish Examiner, Business Post, Silicon Republic and RTÉ choose their stories editorially and are not part of our guaranteed network. We are happy to shape your story so it can be pitched to them on merit, but we will never charge you for a promise we cannot keep.

How it works from Dublin

Ten working days from brief to published

Everything runs online. No flights, no long agency onboarding, no six-week strategy phase. This is a typical timeline once you approve your media plan — some titles move faster, a few take longer, and we tell you which before you start.

  1. Brief

    A short form or a 20-minute call. Tell us what you do, who you want to reach and what has happened recently. Two lines is enough to start.

  2. Media plan

    You receive the named publications, the angle for each and a fixed price. Nothing is booked until you agree in writing.

  3. Writing

    Our writers draft the story in the style each outlet publishes. You check facts, add a quote and approve every word.

  4. Placement

    We handle submission, editor queries and images. You do not chase anyone or learn anyone’s editorial calendar.

  5. Live links

    You receive live URLs to share with buyers, investors, partners and your team — and to add to your website and pitch deck.

Market entry

Your first 90 days in the UK press: a sample roadmap

An illustrative plan for a Dublin company entering the UK. Your version will be built around your real milestones, and you can stop after any stage.

Days 1–30: Arrive

A launch or “Dublin company expands to the UK” story in London and UK national titles, plus a founder profile in a business title. Goal: when a UK prospect searches your name, independent coverage appears.

Days 31–60: Prove

A customer result, partnership or hire, placed in a trade-relevant or finance title, and a regional story where your first UK clients or sites are. Goal: evidence that you are delivering, not just arriving.

Days 61–90: Lead

An expert commentary or guide piece on your market, positioned for search and AI visibility. Goal: become the name journalists and AI tools associate with your category.

Finding the story

Ten Dublin story angles UK and international editors respond to

Most Dublin businesses have more than one publishable story and do not realise it. These are the angles we reach for first. If you recognise yourself in two or three, you already have a campaign.

  1. The Irish company entering the UKA new office, a first UK client, a British distributor or a London launch. “Dublin firm brings X to Britain” is a clear, confident headline.
  2. The founder who built it the hard wayA personal story with real setbacks and a real turning point. Editors want people, not press releases.
  3. The number that surprisesGrowth, customers, efficiency, savings or a survey you commissioned. One strong statistic gives a story its spine.
  4. The expert view on a UK or EU changeNew rules, market shifts or technology trends explained from the vantage point of a company that operates in both markets.
  5. The funding or partnership milestoneWho invested, why, and what the money will build. Investors and future hires read these closely.
  6. The product that solves a familiar frustrationFrame it around the problem your customer recognises, not your feature list.
  7. The sustainability story with proofMeasured reductions, certified practices or circular models — with evidence, never vague claims.
  8. The heritage brand with a modern twistA family business, a restored building, a traditional craft reinvented. Irish provenance is a genuine asset in UK consumer media.
  9. The jobs storyNew roles in Dublin and the UK, apprenticeships or a new site. Regional UK titles care about local employment.
  10. The guide only you could write“What UK companies get wrong about expanding into Ireland” or the reverse. Practical expertise earns trust and repeat readers.
Timing

Moments in the calendar that Dublin businesses can use

Good timing turns an ordinary announcement into a story an editor wants that week. These recurring moments give Dublin businesses natural hooks for UK and international coverage.

  • St Patrick’s Day (March): the one week of the year when UK and US media actively look for Irish stories, founders and brands. Plan early; it fills fast.
  • London Tech Week (June): a strong window for Irish technology companies announcing UK customers, partnerships or offices.
  • Dublin Tech Summit (May): a moment to pair a product or funding announcement with Dublin’s own technology calendar.
  • The National Ploughing Championships (September): a natural hook for Irish agrifood and agritech brands with UK ambitions.
  • Irish and UK budget seasons (autumn): ideal for expert commentary from finance, property and professional services firms operating in both markets.
  • Q4 gift guides and Christmas features: essential for Irish food, drink, fashion and consumer brands selling into UK households.
  • Your own milestones: anniversaries, new offices, awards you have genuinely won, big hires and funding rounds.

Tell us your key dates and we will plan backwards from them.

Choosing your model

A Dublin PR retainer or guaranteed placement: which fits you?

Both have their place. Public relations in Dublin is usually sold on a monthly retainer; guaranteed placement is sold per publication. The right choice depends on whether you need ongoing Irish media relations or confirmed coverage in UK and international titles.

Typical Dublin PR retainerUnited Press guaranteed PR
How you payA monthly fee, commonly quoted at €3,000–€10,000 a month depending on scopeA fixed quote per placement or campaign. No retainer
What is guaranteedEffort: pitching, relationships, reportingThe named publications, agreed in writing before you pay
Contract lengthOften three to twelve monthsNone. Start with one placement if you like
Irish national pressA core strength of good Irish agenciesPitched on merit only; not part of our guarantee
UK & international titlesVaries; often via partner agenciesDirect access to 1,670+ publications, including UK nationals and global business sites
ProofMonthly reports, reach estimatesLive links to published articles
SpeedWeeks to months for the first resultOften days once copy is approved
Best forOngoing domestic profile, events, crisis supportUK market entry, investor credibility, AI and search visibility, launches

Retainer range as quoted by a Dublin agency (Comit, “PR retainer fees in Dublin”). You can also use both models: a local agency for Irish relationships and United Press for guaranteed UK and international coverage. Compare the options on our guaranteed PR agencies compared page.

Avoid these

Six UK PR mistakes Irish companies make — and how to avoid them

Assuming UK readers know your Irish context

References to Irish institutions, places or schemes that everyone in Dublin understands can leave a UK reader lost. Explain the context in a sentence, or choose a UK-relevant angle.

Leading with Ireland when the story is the customer

“Irish company launches in UK” is a start, but “how a Dublin firm cut delivery times for 40 UK retailers” is a story. Put the reader’s benefit first and the origin second.

Quoting results only in euro or only for Ireland

UK editors want UK relevance. Where you can, include UK customers, UK figures or a UK-based spokesperson.

Chasing one big headline

A single national mention fades fast. A sequence of smaller, well-placed stories builds recognition and gives search engines and AI tools consistent information.

Ignoring the UK regions

If your first customers are in Manchester, Glasgow or Leeds, the regional paper they read can matter more than a London title. See our pages for Manchester, Glasgow and Leeds.

Leaving search results to chance

When a UK prospect searches your name, what comes up first? If it is an old article, a complaint or nothing at all, fix that before your launch, not after.

AI search

When someone asks an AI assistant for the best company in Dublin, will it name you?

Buyers increasingly ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google’s AI answers before they ask a colleague. The Digital News Report Ireland 2025 already found 5% of people used an AI chatbot for news in a single week — and far more use them to research suppliers.

A buyer in Leeds asks“Which Dublin software companies are trusted by UK retailers?”
The AI answersIt summarises companies it can find in credible, indexed sources — news articles, business features and expert commentary — and often names the publications it relied on.
The question that matters“Is my company in any of those sources?”

AI assistants do not invent reputations. They assemble them from what is already published about you. If the only sources are your own website and social profiles, you are easy to leave out.

Guaranteed coverage in reputable, indexed UK and international publications gives these tools independent material to draw on: who you are, what you do, where you operate and why you are credible. It also creates authoritative links that support your own website in Google.

Read more on how to get mentioned by ChatGPT and which publications give the strongest AI visibility.

Choosing an agency

How to choose the best PR agency in Dublin: a 10-point scorecard

Use this with every agency you speak to, including us. Give one point for each “what good looks like”. Anything under seven deserves a harder conversation.

4. Can you see real work?Live articles you can click and checkScreenshots or logos only
5. Who writes it?Experienced writers; you approve every wordCopy goes out without your sign-off
6. How are fees structured?Fixed quote, what is included, refund termsOpen-ended retainer with vague deliverables
7. How long is the contract?Flexible or noneSix to twelve-month lock-in before any result
8. How fast is the first result?A realistic date for each title“It depends”, with no timeline

The practical part

What we need from you, and what you get back

What we need from you

  • A few lines about your business and what you want coverage to achieve
  • Any recent news: a launch, hire, contract, result or milestone
  • Two or three good photos, or a logo and a headshot
  • A named person to quote and approve the copy
  • Your key dates, if you have a launch or event coming up

What you get from us

  • A free media plan with named titles, angles and a fixed price
  • Professionally written stories for each publication
  • Full approval rights before anything goes live
  • Submission, editor liaison and follow-up handled for you
  • Live links and a simple summary you can share internally

Not sure what your story is? That is normal. See how our press release writing service and media interview support work.

Where you are now

Dublin PR for every stage of growth

What you need from PR changes as the business grows. Here is how our approach shifts at each stage.

Startups

You need to look credible before you are big. A founder profile and a launch story in technology or business media give customers, early hires and angel investors something independent to read. Start small; one well-chosen placement can open doors.

Scale-ups

You are raising, hiring and entering new markets at once. Coverage timed to funding rounds, UK launches and senior appointments keeps the story consistent for investors and candidates who are researching you.

Established Irish companies

You have a track record at home but little visibility abroad. A structured UK market-entry sequence, combined with expert commentary, turns an Irish reputation into a UK and international one.

Whatever your stage, the principle is the same: publish credible, specific stories in titles your audience already trusts, and make sure the next person who searches your name finds them. For founders who want to build a personal profile alongside the company, see our work on Google Knowledge Panels and media interviews.

In their words

Why businesses trust United Press with their story

United Press has been a UK public relations agency since 2001, based at Brook’s Mews, Bond Street, London. These are real clients, in their own words. Read more about United Press.

“United Press helped us turn our company story into something journalists could genuinely engage with. The coverage gave our brand a level of credibility that was difficult to achieve through our own marketing channels.”
James WhitmoreFounder & CEO
“The team understood our industry and, more importantly, understood the story we needed to tell. Seeing our company featured across relevant publications gave us a much stronger presence when potential customers researched us.”
Olivia BennettMarketing Director
“United Press built our brand from launch to nationwide recognition. Real media coverage gave new customers the trust they needed — our ROI has been over 100:1, which blows my mind.”
Annabelle SparksGlobal Head of Marketing
Cost

How much does PR cost in Dublin?

Dublin agencies commonly quote retainers of €3,000 to €10,000 a month, and agency directories list minimum project fees from under €1,000 to over €8,000. Those fees usually buy time and effort; the coverage itself is not guaranteed.

United Press prices differently. You pay for named placements, quoted in advance, with no retainer and no minimum term. The price depends on the publications you choose and how many placements you want. You only pay once the placements are agreed in writing, and if agreed targets are missed you are refunded. See our PR pricing page for how quotes are built.

One strong placement

A single feature in a title that matters to your buyers or investors. Ideal for testing the approach or supporting a sales push.

Launch set

Several titles around one announcement — a UK launch, funding round or major contract — so the news is visible wherever people look.

Market-entry sequence

A planned run of stories across your first months in the UK, each tied to a real milestone, building familiarity step by step.

Questions

Dublin PR: questions people ask before they start

What is the best PR agency in Dublin?

The best PR agency in Dublin is the one that fits your goal. If you want ongoing relationships with Irish national media, a Dublin-based retainer agency is a strong choice. If you want confirmed coverage in UK and international publications, agreed before you pay, United Press is built for that. Use the 10-point scorecard on this page to compare any agency fairly.

What does a PR company in Dublin actually do?

A PR company in Dublin helps businesses earn coverage in the media their customers, investors and partners read, through press releases, media relations, founder profiles, crisis support and events. Traditional Dublin PR firms focus on Irish media relationships on a monthly retainer. United Press focuses on guaranteed placements in named UK and international publications, agreed in writing before you pay.

Are you based in Dublin?

No. United Press is a UK public relations agency based at Brook’s Mews, Bond Street, London, and has been since 2001. We work with Dublin businesses entirely online, which keeps things fast and means you never need to travel for meetings.

Can you guarantee coverage in The Irish Times or the Irish Independent?

No, and we do not believe any agency honestly can. Irish national titles, RTÉ and most Irish trade media choose stories editorially. We guarantee named placements in our UK and international network, and we can help you shape a story to pitch to Irish outlets on merit.

Which publications can a Dublin business be featured in?

Our network includes 1,670+ publications and 120+ TV channels, such as The Times, The Independent, Evening Standard, Entrepreneur UK, IB Times UK, Herald Scotland, Yahoo Finance, Business Insider, TechCrunch, VentureBeat and USA Today. Your media plan names the titles that best reach your audience.

How much does PR cost for a Dublin company?

Dublin retainers are commonly quoted at €3,000–€10,000 a month. With United Press there is no retainer: you receive a fixed quote for named placements, and you pay once they are agreed in writing. Request a free media plan to see prices for your goal.

How quickly can my story be published?

Many placements go live within days of your approving the copy, and a typical campaign completes in around two weeks. Timing varies by outlet; we give you a realistic date for each title before you start.

We are expanding from Dublin into the UK. Where should we start?

Start with the titles your first UK customers read, plus one or two business or finance sites that investors and partners check. A launch story in London media, supported by regional coverage where your customers are, is often the most effective first step. See our best PR agency in London page for more on London media.

Do you work with Dublin startups?

Yes. Startups often need credibility fast — for customers, hires and investors at the same time. A founder profile and a launch or funding story in technology and business titles gives you independent proof early. There is no minimum contract, so you can start with one placement.

Can you help with Northern Ireland as well?

Yes. Northern Ireland businesses can read our best PR agency in Belfast page, and we can combine UK national and regional titles for companies working on both sides of the border.

Do I need to write anything myself?

No. We write the story for each publication. We only need the facts, a quote or two and your approval. You can edit anything before it goes live.

Will the coverage help our Google rankings and AI visibility?

Coverage in reputable, indexed publications can earn authoritative links to your website and gives Google and AI tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini independent sources that describe your business accurately. See our guide to press release SEO and backlinks.

Is guaranteed coverage the same as advertising?

No. We write editorial-style stories that read as news or features, not adverts. Some outlets label certain content; where that applies we tell you before you choose.

Can you get a Dublin business on TV?

Our network includes 120+ TV channels. Broadcast opportunities depend on the story and the channel; ask about broadcast PR when you request your media plan.

We have negative press or reviews. Can you help?

Positive, accurate coverage is one of the best ways to rebalance what people find. For harmful content itself, our Google reputation management team can review what may be removable. Everything is handled confidentially.

What makes a Dublin story newsworthy for UK editors?

A clear reason to tell it now, a UK connection, real people and one or two hard facts. A UK launch, a British customer result, new jobs, a funding round or an expert view on a change affecting both markets all qualify. If you are not sure you have a story, send us two lines about your business and we will find the angle for you.

Can PR help a Dublin company raise money from UK or international investors?

Coverage does not replace a strong business case, but it helps investors feel confident early. When a fund or angel researches you, independent articles in business and finance titles such as Yahoo Finance, Investing.com UK and Business Insider show that others have taken you seriously. We time these stories around your fundraising milestones.

Do you charge in euro?

Ask us when you request your media plan. Your quote is fixed before you commit, so you know the full cost up front, whichever currency you pay in.

Before you close this page

You did not build something this good to stay invisible outside Dublin.

Somewhere right now, a buyer in London is shortlisting suppliers. An investor is reading about a competitor over coffee. A journalist is looking for an expert voice on exactly what you do. They will choose the name they can find.

Every month you wait, someone less experienced, with a better press presence, takes the meeting you should have had. That is not a failure of your product. It is a gap in your story — and it is the easiest gap in your business to close.

Imagine sending your next proposal with a line that reads: “As featured in The Times, Yahoo Finance and Entrepreneur UK.”
