If you work in comms, do you
spend your days doing this?
PR, marketing and comms people are plate-spinning like never before.
Your colleagues want to know:
“How do we get more customers?”
“How soon will we see the ROI on those ads?”
“How prepped are we for AI?”
Meanwhile, your budget freezes. Or shrinks.
“We want you to do more with less. Is that, y’know… o-kay?”
If you’re hacked off with plate-spinning, I might be able to help.
Studio Gilmore is a comms consultancy run by me, Paddy Gilmore.
I’ve worked in marketing for over 25 years: my clients include HSBC, Nando’s and Harley-Davidson.
I solve three core problems — you can read about them below.
I don’t deliver bullshit.
I do deliver results.
So you spin fewer plates, and enjoy more success.

Does your business run like clockwork?
My clients’ top three migraines.
1.
‘How do we get more customers?’
The classic quandary. Getting noticed and getting picked can feel impossible, especially when everyone’s saying the same thing. I can bring you distinctiveness, warmth and, ultimately, increased sales.
Here’s an example: Three’s SingItKitty campaign, which I consulted on, developing their social and in-store assets. On just day one, 950,000 people actively engaged with the brand on social. On the back of the campaign, ad awareness and consideration increased dramatically.
2.
‘How do we use AI intelligently in our comms?’
In the brave new world of AI, life can feel rather baffling. Which prompts and LLMs should you use? What do you need to know about SEO, GEO and AEO? Above all, how do you communicate well without it seeming like robotic crap?
I’ve delivered international keynotes on this (Mākslīgais intelekts = ‘Artificial intelligence’ in Latvian) as well as working closely with brands to ensure they don’t deliver that scourge of our age: AI slop.
3.
‘How do we improve our skills?’
Training, in other words. I’ve done this with some of the world’s biggest brands.
This is me at WPP Stream, in Greece, in 2024. Pretty dull picture, right?
But I met most of the people afterwards. Here’s where they work:
