Two Years in the Spotlight: Prior Media & Marketing Marks Milestone with Client Success

From award wins to brand transformations, the Sussex-based agency reflects on two years of growth and the power of storytelling in business.

This month, Prior Media & Marketing celebrates its second anniversary. A milestone that highlights a journey of resilience, creativity, and client achievement in the face of business uncertainty.

Founded by Stephanie Prior, the agency has quickly built a reputation for helping businesses shine through PR, branding, events and marketing strategies that capture attention and deliver results.

In just two years, Prior Media has supported clients to achieve remarkable recognition on both national and regional stages:

• Two national award wins in the technology and legal sectors.

• Two “Highly Commended” awards, competing against international industry giants.

• Two regional award wins in the events and legal sectors.

These wins not only elevated client brands but also underscored how smaller, ambitious businesses can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with major players.

Transforming Brands and Raising Profiles

Beyond the awards stage, Prior Media has played a pivotal role in shaping the identities of businesses across Sussex and beyond. Highlights include:

• Supporting two law firms through full rebrands and website launches.

• Delivering high-profile PR opportunities across TV, magazines, and local media.

• Creating valuable business collaborations, networking events, and charitable campaigns at a time when visibility and support are critical.

Reflecting on the milestone, Stephanie Prior, Founder of Prior Media & Marketing, said:

“I’m extremely grateful to the businesses and individuals who have believed in my work and invested in my services, recommended me to prospects, and helped me along the way. It has been one of the most rewarding but challenging couple of years of my career.

One of the most rewarding experiences for me is not just getting results for my clients, but also seeing individuals grow through raising their profiles. From imagery to articles and written content, Prior Media has been able to work with some great businesses and leaders to not only capture their stories, but remind them of their capabilities, confidence, and skills.”

Stephanie hasn’t built the agency’s success alone. The business has grown with the support of trusted collaborators, including, Marketing Consultant Jackie Ashwood, Marketing Strategist, and Award-winning Videographer Maureen Imiegha  and Viktorija Faith.

Together, they have crafted high-quality campaigns, content, and opportunities that continue to elevate clients.

Client loyalty is a clear measure of Prior Media’s impact. Since launching, the agency has worked with nine clients, of which seven continue to partner with the business today, a 78% retention rate.

This sustained trust reflects the agency’s ability to deliver consistent value and long-term results. Through the business’s independent events, such as Herstory, Prior Media & Marketing have collaborated with leading brands such as Amazon UK, Investec, Carpenter Box, Brighton Gin, Ridgeview Wines, The Gel Bottle Inc, and The Hilton.

In a time when many businesses face uncertainty, Prior Media & Marketing’s  aim is to continue to showcase that strategic storytelling, creative branding, and strong relationships can drive growth.

“We are honoured to have reached this milestone. As we look ahead, we remain committed to working with businesses who deserve to be positioned in the spotlight and grow through the great work they do.”
