Who is Nibble for?

small down arrow

We are for brands, businesses and professionals looking for an alternative to the conventional public relations agency or hiring in-house, and talented PR specialists looking for exciting new client work they’re passionate about.

Because the freelance world is dynamic, our client range is diverse. From large corporations and small businesses or startups needing a specialised PR consultant, such as for industries like fintech or healthcare, and professional individuals who want some personal PR, to growing agencies looking for extra freelance power they can trust. What they all have in common is a desire to find a flexible and cost-effective solution, and little time to spend searching and screening freelancers themselves or paying recruitment fees. They want a recommendation from peers that they trust, which is what we bring: All the freelancers in our directory have been recommended by other clients, and only get matched for briefs looking for the skills they score high for.

The contractors on the Nibble database are exceptionally skilled, and varied in regards to seniority and experience. Clients can find consultants to work on new product launches, run an ongoing day to day ‘virtual press office’, grow and protect brand reputation, land interviews, or even create standalone PR strategies, plans and toolkits to be activated DIY.
