PR & Communications Gateshead 2026 | Strategic Trust & Influence

The Power of Voice in 2026 Gateshead

Gateshead is a town built on stories. From the legendary engineering feats of the Tyne Bridge to the modern creative resurgence of the Quays, communication has always been the lifeblood of this community. In 2026, your story is told across social media feeds, digital news outlets, community forums, and AI-driven search results.

At Canny Works, we provide comprehensive PR & Communications services in Gateshead. We ensure that when people in the NE postcode think of your business, they think of trust, innovation, and community value.

Media Mechanics

Is PR just 'Getting in the Paper'?

No. Modern PR is Digital Authority. Getting a link from a high-DR (Domain Rating) site like The Guardian or BBC is the single most powerful SEO signal you can send to Google. We combine traditional storytelling with technical SEO link-building strategies.

Crisis Management?

We offer 24/7 'Red Phone' Support. When a crisis hits, silence is an admission of guilt. We control the narrative, draft the holding statements, and manage the media scrum so you can focus on fixing the operational issue. Speed is the only currency that matters in a crisis.

Can you guarantee coverage?

No agency can ethicaly guarantee coverage unless it's 'Sponsored Content' (Adverts). What we guarantee is Newsworthiness. We extract the stories from your business that journalists actually want to write about, rather than sending spam press releases that get deleted.
