[ BEHIND BELTA ]
The PR principles that make us, us:
Why Belta PR exists…
When done well, digital PR should do more than generate coverage. It should build authority, strengthen buyer trust and support long-term commercial growth.
In eight years in digital PR, I’d seen too much emphasis placed on how much coverage a campaign generated, rather than where it landed, who it reached, and what it actually did for the business.
I knew there was a better way.
So I built Belta PR to overcome this industry issue.

Hi, I’m Bekki,
Founder & Digital PR Consultant.
Before launching Belta PR, I spent eight years working across both agency and in-house digital PR roles.
I’ve created award-winning digital PR campaigns and worked with businesses of all sizes, from ambitious start-ups seeking to build visibility in competitive industries to well-established household brands.
Most recently, I worked in-house at RVU across Mojo Mortgages and Uswitch, where digital PR wasn’t treated as a standalone channel. Every PR campaign had to support wider marketing objectives, strengthen search visibility & contribute to commercial growth.
I’ve now seen digital PR from pretty much every angle: agency-side, in-house and, today, running Belta PR.
And each has taught me something different.
Agency life gave me the foundations. It taught me how to balance multiple clients, industries and priorities, manage competing demands and, ultimately, how to do really good digital PR.
Going in-house changed the way I thought about it. Suddenly, I could see much more clearly where PR sat within the wider business, and why coverage means very little if it isn’t supporting what that business is actually trying to achieve.
And Belta? That’s where I get to bring the best of both together.
We don’t chase coverage for the sake of a big number on a report. We look at where your brand needs more authority, which audiences you need to reach, which pages need stronger backlinks and where PR can make a genuine commercial difference.
Then we build the PR around that.
SO, WHAT DOES
ACTUALLY MEAN?!
“Belta” is a Geordie word for something exceptional.
When I started this business, I wanted a name that reflected both where I’m from and the kind of consultancy I wanted to build.
Straight talking. Hard-working. Resourceful.
I’m also a big believer in “shy bairns get nowt” (which, yes, absolutely includes asking a journalist to turn a citation into a backlink!).
I’ll always tell you honestly if I don’t think something will work. I’ll never recommend digital PR if I don’t believe it’s the right investment. And when I take on a client, I’m invested in making the work count.
That’s the thinking behind the name.
And the standard I hold myself to every day.
Small by design.
With Belta PR, you’ll work directly with me throughout the partnership. I lead every strategy and stay hands-on with delivery, from developing angles to personally pitching journalists and securing coverage.
Alongside me is a Digital PR Executive with a particular knack for pop culture and reactive PR, keeping a close eye on the news agenda and spotting opportunities for your brand as they emerge.
And when a brief calls for specialist expertise, we bring in trusted people across areas, such as SEO and data analysis.
Better because of it.
Many agency models can come with large teams, layers of management and expensive overheads. And there’s a familiar frustration in the industry: meeting the senior team during the pitch, only for much of the day-to-day work to be handed down once the account begins.
I wanted Belta to work differently.
That’s why we’re a small digital PR consultancy. Senior experience stays close to the work, while other people are brought in because their skills genuinely add something.
Less budget spent on unnecessary overheads. More invested in the people actually making your brand better known.

Every great partnership
starts with a conversation.
Whether you’re exploring digital PR for the first time or looking for a more strategic approach, I’d love to hear more about your business.
Tell me a bit about your brand and what you do in your own words. I’ll then do the initial digging to see whether digital PR could make a meaningful commercial difference in getting your mission - and product - in front of your target market.
If I believe digital PR could genuinely help, I’ll book in a discovery call to explain the why and how.
And if I don’t think it’s the right investment? I’ll tell you what you need to sort first.
