Who are we?
iNHouse PR believes you should know exactly who will represent you. Who you meet will be who you deal with. We will happily come and base ourselves in your office - build effective relationships with your existing team and get to know what makes the organisation tick. Equally, we can work from our own offices, cutting your internal overheads and using our own infrastructure to get the job done. Either way you can be confident that your contacts will be the same people putting calls into journalists, preparing briefings for MPs or media training your key spokespeople - we will not hand your important campaigns to inexperienced staff that you've never met.
We can work as freelancers but without the employment red tape. We can come in when you are at your busiest without needing to be retrained or handheld each time - just call us when you need us and we'll get the job done.
We are communications professionals; we develop and implement effective campaigns. We have experience of media relations and public affairs for clients of varied backgrounds - corporate, charities, not for profit, political and public sector.

Meet the team:
Katie Perrior: A self-confessed workaholic...more
Jo Tanner: A news junkie from a young age...more
Dylan Sharpe: An expert communicator...more
Katie Perrior
Katie got into PR after a stint at Citibank and soon found herself working for senior politicians during and after the 2001 General Election. Katie left to work as a freelancer for Celador, makers of 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?' and ITN, firstly for ITV News, then Head of Press for Channel 4 News. She returned to Politics as a senior media advisor to the Shadow Home Secretary and went on to establish The Research Shop - a business providing freelance research services. During this time, Katie was repeatedly asked to design and manage PR campaigns for several high profile clients such as Live8. Realising that some organisations were missing out on access to good quality PR support, Katie persuaded Jo to join her and set up iNHouse PR.
Jo Tanner
Jo trained as a journalist but was soon seduced by political PR. After three years in Westminster where she first met Katie, Jo left to work for RNID (the charity for deaf and hard of hearing people) working on their public affairs campaigns across the UK. Following a brief period developing a communications project for the NHS, Jo joined the Media Team at NSPCC and the Public Affairs department of the Learning and Skills Council. A natural campaigner, Jo then took up the post of Head of Media at the British Chambers of Commerce. After creating a new in-house operation and running eye-catching media campaigns on issues ranging from regulation to tax policy, Jo left to co-found iNHouse PR.
Dylan Sharpe
Dylan is a experienced communicator with a strong policy and events background. He joined iNHouse PR after working for Geronimo Communications on a range of contracts including the London Schools Challenge. Dylan has an MA in International Politics and is particularly keen on finding ways to make policy issues more relevant to a mainstream audience in order to achieve lasting change.
