Top testimonials

If you are struggling with your business PR, then Christian and Michelle are the people to go to. They are very skilled with helping you develop your content and build your confidence so you are happy to present your business across all media. They are also great fun to work with. Thank you!

Sammy Ryan

Strictly Organised

After running my business for two years, I wanted to get my message in front of a more diverse audience. Joining Michelle and Christian’s ‘Pitch to the Press Challenge’ was a game-changer; they broke down each step into manageable chunks and, in five days, I had sent my first press pitch.

It was a no-brainer to continue working together at the end of the challenge. Michelle and Christian took the time to understand my story and to uncover exactly which elements of it would be newsworthy – leveraging their extensive network to recommend which media outlets would be the perfect fit.

Fast forward a few weeks and I was invited as a guest on BBC Radio London, BBC Radio Berkshire and featured in the online edition of Good Housekeeping. Mission accomplished.

If you are looking for someone who can help YOU to get your story in the press, I highly recommend Michelle and Christian.

Jane Ferré Coach

Michelle and Christian have supported me in many different ways with my PR, and I wouldn’t go to anyone else for support or guidance in this area.

They have supported me by providing guidance on best practice for pitching to the press, helped generate pitching ideas, given feedback and edits to pitches I have written and are also some of the kindest and supportive people I know.

I would highly recommend Michelle and Christian of Write on Time to anyone looking for support with their PR. You won’t be disappointed.

Michelle and Christian are a powerhouse duo when it comes to all things PR. I’ve had a few ‘Power Hours’ with them over the last couple of years and I purchased their Press Pack.

They have an ability to find a unique angle when it comes to helping me with opportunities to PR myself, and my clients’ businesses, and the Press Pack templates have been really. really useful. I will definitely be using them again and would highly recommend you speak to them about any PR.

What a fantastic team! We have been working together for over two years now and both Michelle and Chris are excellent writers – super professional and have the most amazing ideas when it comes to PR. They go above and beyond to help and even got me a regular column – writing for a very popular franchise magazine. They are a big part of my marketing team.

I had the pleasure of connecting with Michelle and Christian of Write on Time Ltd in 2019, when Michelle interviewed me for their book #SheCan365. In 2020, I purchased their Press Pack, which led to a feature in my local newspaper. In 2021, during a 1:1 Zoom call, they provided invaluable hints and tips on media visibility. Implementing their advice resulted in features in major magazines and newspapers. Thanks to them, I now receive requests from the media as an expert for articles relating to my specialism. As a direct result of this, my website now ranks top three on Google for my chosen keywords (due to media backlinks). They have not only taught me everything I know about press features, but also continuously support and celebrate my successes. Highly recommended!

Whilst Ingrid Jansen and I enjoyed media and online success in the UK before, promoting The Declutter Hub in a global market was brand-new territory for us. In a PR Power Hour, Christian and Michelle taught us how to change the tone of our PR and capitalise on our expertise in a way we hadn’t explored before… 60 minutes of fantastic takeaways! If you want straight-talking, no-nonsense expert PR advice, these two lovely people are just the ticket.

The Declutter Hub

I bought the Press Pack with little belief in my writing ability. After speaking to Michelle and Christian further, I wanted to see if I could get published and promote my business.

At my second attempt of sending a press release, I was absolutely shellshocked to be published in the Manchester Evening News! In less than 24 hours, I had five bookings for calls which I am hoping will convert into clients I can help.

I cannot recommend this pack enough. If you are in any doubt, challenge those thoughts and go for it… The proof is in the print!

The people who make it all happen

Michelle Ewen

Creative Ideas Engine

Over the past 20 years, I have generated more than £1m worth of free publicity and written every kind of winning award entry – including an MBE.

Having graduated with First Class Honours in Journalism & Script Writing, I worked for the national press – exposing love rats and scandals in The Mirror, The People, Chat, Take a Break and many more true-life magazines!

Aged 25, I then became Commercial Features Editor for Guardian Series Newspapers – specialising in persuasive copywriting for businesses.

Later, as Public Relations Specialist at an NHS Trust, I recruited Stephen Fry to front our ‘Stamp Out Stigma’ campaign; advised the Board; and empowered patients to share their lived experience of mental health with the media.

Key Skill: Writing kickass press releases!

LinkedIn

Christian Ewen

Pitching & Proofing King

Aged 25, I broke the record for the youngest ever Press Officer at the FTSE100 company that hired me as an official spokesperson. I wrote press statements for Sky News and the BBC; delivered award-winning PR campaigns; and regularly secured broadcast and print coverage worth six-figure sums in equivalent advertising value.

I originally started out as a Commercial Features Reporter for Guardian Series Newspapers – writing advertorials and lifestyle features – after studying Journalism at LJMU.

Later, I worked as a Publisher for five years at one of the world’s leading non-fiction military history publishing houses in the English language. I took a project management role – proofreading and copy-editing manuscripts to prepare them for publication.

Key Skill: Adding that final touch of class to everything we produce.

Raymond Reddington

Company Secretary

I was found wandering on the streets of Rochdale and then transferred to Warrington Cats Protection Adoption Centre. After a Method acting performance worthy of Brando, I conned my parents into choosing me at the shelter. Named after a fictional criminal mastermind on Sky TV’s The Blacklist, I now only show affection on my own terms – and mostly when motivated by food!

As Company Secretary, my key responsibilities include making unscheduled appearances on Zoom calls; walking across keyboards at inopportune moments; posing for social media; and eating up the company profits in snacks.

In my spare time I like to defend my precious territory and ignore all my expensive toys.

Key Skill: Mediating when my parents have ‘creative differences’.
