About Adia

We make the businesses who deserve to be heard impossible to ignore.

Adia is a relationship-led PR agency for founders, disruptors and thought leaders, now built for an age where people ask AI who to trust.

My story

I started Adia to help good businesses be seen, heard and believed.

I've spent my career around the media, and I kept seeing the same thing: brilliant founders with something genuinely worth saying, going unheard, while louder, lesser businesses took the spotlight.

So I built Adia on a simple belief: if they don't know you exist, you don't have a business. We don't chase vanity coverage. We build the kind of reputation that compounds, through real relationships with the journalists, editors and producers who actually matter.

Now the rules are changing again. Your next customer is as likely to ask ChatGPT for a recommendation as they are to Google you. PR has never mattered more, and it's exactly the work we've quietly been doing all along: building trust, authority and a footprint the machines can't ignore.

How we work

01

Relationships first

Real connections with the journalists and editors who shape the conversation, never spray-and-pray press lists.

Earned authority

Coverage that builds a reputation which compounds over time, not a one-off hit forgotten by Friday.

03

Built for AI

Authorship, consistency and footprint engineered so AI assistants recommend you by name.

04

Measurable impact

Coverage tied to traffic, search visibility and enquiries, so you see the work paying back.
