Expert research communications and PR services

Campus PR is unlike many other communications agencies – we only focus on research and innovation.

Our expertise helps transform research into powerful narratives - showcasing outcomes, demonstrating value, and driving influence.

With decades of combined expertise from across the science communication and STEM PR sectors, we connect complex ideas with people and impact to shape compelling stories.

Whether you’re looking for news coverage, thought leadership, in-depth features in key industry media, or digital communications – our specialist team can help you, whatever discipline you work in.

We also excel at developing content for websites, reports and magazines, scripting videos, producing explainer animations and infographics, and crafting impact case studies.

Our insights-first approach means we shine when it comes to helping our clients with strategic planning and delivering research communications and dissemination strategies with purpose.

But we don’t stop there - we also share our expertise to build in-house capacity through a series of specialised training workshops.

Who knew you could create such beauty with simple things like water, food coloring , light, and glass tubes!

What we excel at

Strategy and consultancy

The bigger picture

We help research teams to look at the bigger picture and see how they can get the most from their communications and PR. We develop research communications strategies that engage with key stakeholders, enhance understanding and help position research on a pathway to impact.

Training

Sharing our expertise

Our specialist workshops support researchers and senior academics to develop the skills they’ll need to communicate with clarity, confidence and integrity, particularly given the demands for greater impact from research. We also run workshops for communications teams.

Copywriting and content creation

Bringing research to life

We transform complex – and often fascinating – material into engaging content that brings research to life and creates impact across owned channels and the media. Whether that’s a case study or policy brief, or through digital visual media like animations and infographics.

Press and media relations

Strengthen your engagement

Few small agencies working in research can claim so many headline news stories and coverage on primetime BBC – but we can. And always achieved without compromising the integrity of the research.

Conference PR

Creating talking points

Working as the PR partner to academic conference organisers, we carefully select news stories from vast conference programmes and craft press releases that showcase how the latest ideas and innovations could make a difference to society.

We’re proud to work right across the research community - from universities and funders to independent research organisations, charities, and professional associations.

  • We very much enjoy working with the Campus PR team on the press activities at our annual Congress. We can really rely on their expertise, they just know the drill. They are very flexible and, not unimportantly, also great fun to work with!

    ROB EVANS

    SENIOR LECTURER IN PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY, ASTON UNIVERSITY

  • Please pass on our thanks to your team for their fantastic work on the three case studies. It has been great to work with you and the team. I very much look forward to creating opportunities that would allow us to work together in the future!

    PROFESSOR DAVID SEBAG-MONTETFIORE

  • Thank you for all your work to ensure this research reaches a national audience. It's the first time my research has been featured in a national newspaper, so this is awesome.

    DR MARLEY WILLEGERS

    BANGOR UNIVERSITY

  • Thank you so much for your work and insights, which have created so much coverage for April Fakes Day and the great research Patricia Kingori has been doing. It is a really impressive range and spread of media and has helped promote the exhibitions, workshops and projects immensely.

    JOHN KENNEDY, COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER
    TORCH, UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD

  • You’ve been nothing but enthusiastic and skilful in your approach – especially in the training – and we’ve enjoyed working with you. You’ve left us much more able to share the valuable work we produce and much more confident in doing so.

    FRASER BATTYE
    PRINCIPAL CONSULTANT, THE STRATEGY UNIT

  • Your thoughtfulness and attention to detail have been such a help, indeed a saviour. We quite literally couldn’t have done this without you.

    PROFESSOR CALUM NEILL, LEAD FOR RESEARCH DEGREES
    EDINBURGH NAPIER UNIVERSITY

    UCL

  • Campus PR’s approach was entirely flexible to suit our needs and the team gladly accommodated last-minute changes. I highly recommend Campus PR for their high-quality work, good communication and excellent results.

    CLARE ROBERTSON, SENIOR MARKETING EXECUTIVE

    RACHEL CASWELL, SENIOR HEALTHCARE ANALYST
    THE STRATEGY UNIT

    CERI BAIN, RESEARCH & INNOVATION WEBPAGE PROJECT COORDINATOR
    EDINBURGH NAPIER UNIVERSITY

  • Thanks again for the incredible help you gave us in pulling together our REF submission. Your skill in drawing out the narratives and evidence has made it all so much stronger – we couldn’t have done it without you! I hope to get the chance to work with you again in the future.

    DR GERRI MATTHEWS-SMITH
    EDINBURGH NAPIER UNIVERSITY

  • Just to say that the science team are over the moon with the coverage, as are our funders! Thank you so much.

    LAURA HOLLAND, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS AND CULTURE
    ROSALIND FRANKLIN INSTITUTE

  • I was absolutely delighted that the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund Tissue Bank featured on the BBC News! This was a complex project to pull together – in particular co-ordinating and liaising between so many partner institutions and individual people. You did this with great patience and diplomacy and gave the Tissue Bank the best start we could have hoped for.

    MAGGIE BLANKS, FOUNDER
    PANCREATIC CANCER RESEARCH FUND

  • We’d been speaking to Smith & Nephew for a few years about working with us to commercialise the technology and we’d had some excellent publications on the research, but what got the company’s attention was the media coverage which Campus PR helped us achieve. The science on its own couldn’t do it – it was the publicity that clinched the deal.

    PROFESSOR SHEILA MACNEIL
    UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD

  • Working with Campus PR has been a great experience. We had a huge amount of interest in our project, which raised the department’s profile and helped us with our post-doctoral recruitment.

    DR RODERICH GROSS
    UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD

  • We've been really pleased with the work you've done with engineering. It’s been a pleasure working with you all for so long and you've done some fantastic work for us.

    SHEMINA DAVIS, MEDIA RELATIONS MANAGER
    UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD

  • Campus PR are the first PR company I have dealt with (and I have dealt with a few) who do not try to “dumb down” the story or sensationalise it.

    DR ROSS BOYLE
    UNIVERSITY OF HULL

  • Flexible. Professional. Invaluable. Campus PR will always go the extra mile and act as a vital extension of the team. Above all, they are honest and trustworthy. If you want to talk through how and why we’ve worked with them, just drop me a line.
