Islay O' Hara

Hi I’m Islay, a public relations consultant providing PR and communication strategies, thought leadership and personal branding services.

For clients who excel at what they do, are making a difference in our world and have powerful messages to share.

Yet, they struggle to cut through the noise and chatter.

I help successful individuals, entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors, executives, and founders accelerate their business growth and attract more ideal clients and exciting opportunities by being seen and heard “everywhere.”

By helping them to

Raise their visibility
Share their mission, ideas and values with confidence and authenticity
Build authority, influence and trust in their marketplace with clarity and consistency
Extend the reach of their message
Create and leverage those opportunities to make an impact

“Your personal brand and reputation is critical to your success. Whether it’s ensuring that you are seen in the right places through securing appropriate interviews in the media or speaking opportunities or ensuring that your digital profile is up-to-date, representative, and accurate, personal PR is essential to advancing your personal and professional interests.”

Consulting and coaching services designed and tailored to your needs

Islay is a PR purist, which means she knows the true power of communicating with clarity, in a way that brings clients to you.

The Harriers managed to acquire the services of Islay O’Hara about a month before the half-marathon, to raise its profile locally via the press and local media. This was to potentially make people aware of the event and to possibly encourage more entries. To this end Islay did a terrific job, plus she provided post-event coverage afterwards and certainly raised the profile of this year’s event.

Working with Islay was a pleasure and we will be looking to using her services for next year’s race, albeit a bit earlier.
