Why Platypus PR? It's not a question you expect to spend any real time considering...
Platypus PR achieves wide exposure for its clients’ books in the UK print and broadcast media.
The Platypus approach to promotion is friendly and conscientious and based upon a proven combination of inspiration and hard work.
We achieve our results through a dedicated and careful reading of the books to develop focused and innovative campaigns, launched by creating targeted and memorable press releases.
We have worked with popular and prestigious authors such as Kate Spade, Ian Bremmer, Bjorn Lomborg, HRH Princess Michael of Kent, Anthony Seldon and Marcus Buckingham. Whether renowned, authoritative or not, we treat all our authors like they are royalty. In fact some of them are:
“I have found Jeff Scott to be of an independent mind and does a great job! His ability and insight as well as his sound judgment have impressed me and he provides a safe pair of hands. Throughout the time we have worked together, I have found his advice to be sound and thoughtful. I would recommend him without reservation and look forward to enlisting his help for the launch of my next book”
HRH Princess Michael of Kent
We like to try to stand out from the crowd. Mostly this works and Jeremy Paxman has commented:
“I can’t come to the launch of the Blair book. But I hope someone has told you that that invitation is the most imaginative one produced this year – or for as long as I can remember. It’s terrific”
View the invitation that made news itself and that Jeremy liked so much.

Jeff Scott is Platypus PR’s publishing specialist and has over 20 years of experience in publishing.
“Like all authors, for my own work I want someone who understands my book, loves me, appreciates the sacrifices I have endured to write it, and will go out there in front of all the people sitting in the dark and shine a light on my book so I can bring light into their lives.”
We always try to shine that light at Platypus PR
