Debra Hargrave

With roots in equestrian sport stretching back to the 1990s, I bring decades of industry knowledge and insight. I began my professional career with British Showjumping and have since built over 20 years’ experience as a freelance consultant, specialising in equestrian PR, communications and marketing.

SERVICES

Working as part of an existing, or tailormade, team, I can offer access to specialist equestrian insight and strategic advice to help shape, grow and strengthen your brand, business or event through effective PR and marketing.

I am passionate about:

Working in sports I genuinely love and understand.
Developing creative yet practical ideas that deliver measurable results—driving awareness and generating new income streams.
Exceeding expectations for media coverage, supported by a strong media network and a deep understanding of how print, digital, social and broadcast media operate and what they need.
Bringing out the best in teams to consistently over-deliver, whether leading from the front or working collaboratively as part of a wider team.
Solving problems and identifying the right communications strategy to navigate challenges and reposition when required.
Performing under pressure and delivering to tight deadlines without compromise.

If this sounds like the right fit for your business and you’re looking for clear, practical PR and marketing advice that delivers real results, I’d be delighted to discuss how I can help.
