About Us

Blog Relations is run by two British business journalists, Matthew Lynn and Hugh Fraser. Between us, we have over 30 years of experience working for media organisations. We produce stimulating, well-researched content. We usually work in partnership with Public Relations companies, providing media content, training and support services for clients.

We believe that consumers of media are becoming immune to traditional marketing and advertising. Blatent self-promotion no longer works. To reach people these days you need to interest them - and that requires journalistic and media production skills.

Matthew Lynn is a former Sunday Times journalist who now writes a column for Bloomberg. Read Matthew’s Column. Matthew is also the author of several books, and is ghost-writer of a series of Number One best selling thrillers.

Hugh Fraser is a former BBC World Service journalist. Read some of Hugh’s BBC online work here and here. Hugh is UK Correspondent for ID3 Magazine, the leading authority on podcasts.

Blog Relations publishes one of the UK’s leading podcasts - Storynory, iPod-ready stories for kids. We also run an occasional Blog Relations podcast on this site.

Naturally we can help you with blogging. We can set up your blog for you, and give on-going advice on how to use your blog to create buzz and reach out to other bloggers. We have successfully promoted Storynory via the blogosphere. Numerous online reviews of Storynory by bloggers have been picked up by mainstream media such as LIFE Magazine, the Radio Times, and Publisher’s Weekly. Grass-roots media is the 21st century way to get your message out.

We design and host online surveys for clients, such as this one. We use powerful software to pull out and analyse results from any number of angles.

We research and write background papers for leading marketing companies. Our special area of interest is online marketing and social and participatory media.

Blog Relations works with Insider Training which has been preparing business clients to meet the media since 1989. Insider Training is a partnership between Hugh Fraser and business journalist William Essex.
