Journalist first.
WE BIG IDEAS was founded by Paul Smith, an experienced communications, PR and marketing professional with a career spanning journalism, corporate communications and public relations.
Beginning his career as a journalist, Paul understands exactly what makes a story newsworthy and how to secure meaningful media coverage.
He later led corporate PR and communications within one of the UK's most highly regulated industries, managing strategic communications, reputation management, stakeholder engagement and high-profile campaigns in a fast-paced national business.
That combination gives clients something many agencies can't offer:
An understanding of both how the media works and how businesses should communicate.
Paul has worked for the likes of
- Sky News
- The Scottish Sun
- MailOnline
- VPZ
