Penny Haywood Calder, from PHPR, says: “We want to boost Edinburgh businesses. During the last few months we have been floating the idea and getting tremendous encouragement, support and enthusiasm.
“We are aiming to deliver up to £1,000 publicity value each month for every individual publicity club member to turbo-charge small businesses in Edinburgh.
“I will personally lead the sessions using my DIY PR training experience that helped 1,000s of small business owners over ten years and culminated in my DIY PR book.
“Plus, my online experience goes back to 1985, when I launched the world’s first online bank for a well-known Scottish bank. We will also bring in outside experts.”
