Who is DIY PR?
Alexia Santamaria
Media Expert
Hi there. I’m Alexia and I’ve been working as a freelance journalist for over a decade. I still write for Next, Good Health Choices, Herald Travel, Newshub Travel Online, Dish Magazine, AA Directions, Flight Centre blog, Express magazine and am a judge on some of Metro magazine’s Top 50 awards. Working on the inside, I know a thing or two about sending product and pitching stories to editors and what makes them gloss over – or sit up and take interest. I’ve met many people who know they can do their own PR but just need some confidence and guidance on the ins and outs. That’s what I’m here to do.
