The Press Office

The Press Office is a consultancy for museums, galleries and cultural projects. Run by Michael Barrett, with twenty five years of media and arts public relations experience, gained both in-house and as a consultancy, it secures print, online, blog and broadcast editorial coverage on behalf of arts organisations of all sizes. Based in London, The Press Office works with clients all over the country, on single projects or as a retained PR resource, complementing in-house press offices or providing a complete service. The work is founded upon thorough research, solid contacts, timely communication and constant availability, drawing on a reliable sense of the news-worth of projects and a long history of successful and varied media work, from major international projects to one-off local announcements.
