About Savage Communications

Savage Communications was founded by senior PR practitioner, Kerry Savage (MCIPR, MCIM). She is an accredited trainer for the Chartered Institute of Public Relations and the Chartered Institute of Marketing and delivers training on behalf of both industry bodies.

Prior to becoming a trainer, Kerry worked at some of the world’s most successful PR agencies, including Freud Communications, Burson Marsteller and Hill & Knowlton, as well as working in-house for Selfridges. Her expertise spans a broad range of industry fields (both consumer and corporate), such as technology, food & drink, fashion, healthcare, entertainment, IT, travel and personal finance. Clients have included Kellogg’s, P&G, American Express, Channel 4 and Levi’s.

Today, as managing director of Savage Communications, Kerry runs training courses at a number of levels, catering for everyone from PR agency teams to marketing departments of international companies. Recent clients include The Red Consultancy, Porter Novelli, Toni & Guy and Kurt Geiger.

In addition to working with corporate clients, some of Kerry’s most rewarding work has been teaching small businesses to develop and run their own PR campaigns on a ‘shoestring’. Over the last three years, she has helped hundreds of SMEs, from retailers and fashion designers, to consultants and healthcare professionals.

Kerry also delivered the PR module for the Diploma in Journalism at Birkbeck College and regularly delivers training programmes for Business Link. Her training experience dates back many years: prior to her career in PR, she worked as a school teacher and as a tutor of foreign languages for business-men and -women.

Kerry is a regular on the public speaking circuit, having given presentations over the last year on the ’The Power of PR’ at Olympia, the Business Design Centre and Earl’s Court, amongst others. 

As well as being a seasoned PR professional, Kerry is an inspirational and dynamic coach, who is passionate about helping others succeed. She has a certificate in Life Coaching.
