About DIY-PR

Mel Betts, founder of DIY-PR has worked in the PR and marketing industry since 1995. As well as many years experience working in sectors as diverse as make-up & beauty, charity, biotech, publishing, IT, telecoms, engineering, broadcast, professional services and franchising, Mel holds the CAM Higher Diploma and the CAM Advanced Diploma in PR management & strategy.

After working at a senior level at various PR consultancies and in-house for several large corporate organisations at the end of 2004 Mel set up her own PR consultancy, Grapevine PR, which she still runs successfully today.

“During this time, many small companies and start-ups approached me for advice but had little or no budget for marketing or PR. I was also being called upon to train staff in other PR consultancies and so the idea of creating a way to teach small business owners how to do their own PR was born.”
