Lyon PR

Starting Lyon PR was an exciting move, but I knew I wanted to build it properly from day one. Working with Phil has helped me bring real clarity and structure to the business. Together we’ve mapped out clear short, medium and long-term goals and, crucially, created practical strategies to achieve them. It’s not just theory – it’s focused, actionable planning that drives results. Phil is incredibly experienced and very well connected, which adds huge value. But what really stands out is how approachable and easy he is to work with. Our sessions are always insightful and challenging in the right way, while still being relaxed and enjoyable. I feel more confident about where Lyon PR is heading and how we’re going to get there.

About The Company

Lyon PR is a dynamic public relations company founded by Rick Lyon. Built on strong journalistic expertise and a clear understanding of how media works, Lyon PR supports clients with strategic PR, media relations, content creation and reputation management. As a new start-up, Lyon PR was created with ambition, energy and a clear vision – to deliver high-quality PR services that generate meaningful results for clients. What Rick needed was the right strategic framework to turn that ambition into sustainable, long-term growth.

The Challenge

Launching a new business is a big step. As well as excitement, it comes with significant pressure and uncertainty. As a founder, Rick was balancing client delivery, business development, brand positioning and long-term planning all at once. While Lyon PR had strong foundations and early success, the challenge was to: • Establish a clear strategic direction from the outset • Define short, medium and long-term goals • Set ambitious but achievable revenue and growth targets • Build structure and accountability into the business • Create a roadmap for scalable, sustainable success. Rick didn’t just want advice – he wanted clarity, structure and someone experienced to challenge and guide him as the business evolved.
