Who we are
Media Hound PR was founded by Nikki Alvey, a B2B PR professional who has spent nearly two decades in the technology, ecommerce and retail sectors.
With experience of working in-house (Compuware), agency side (Brodeur, éclat Marketing) and freelancing over the past 17 for a variety of retained and project accounts, Nikki fully understands the challenges that clients face and can tailor campaigns accordingly.
She favours an approach where she works as an extension to her clients' business – getting under the skin of the company in order to represent them well at all times. This has proven to be very successful and the results she achieves speaks volumes.
Nikki partners up with other well established industry freelancers where required – for larger campaign briefs and projects or to add different capabilities.

The PR Network’s industry knowledge and contacts are second to none and Nikki works relentlessly to deliver top class coverage across trade, local, national and broadcast press. During the years I’ve worked with Russell and Nikki, I’ve been constantly impressed by their instinct, proactivity and tenacity. Both are an integral part of our agency marketing team and a pleasure to work with.

Nikki is quite simply a brilliant PR and media relations professional. I've worked with Nikki a lot over the last four years and she's proved herself time and again to be a solid media relations expert who delivers results for her clients. She's adept at helping her clients create a story that works and taking it out to the relevant media with awesome results. She's also great fun to work with, very personable and loved by all her clients and colleagues alike.
George Blizzard, Owner at The PR Network
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Nikki for just over a year, and hopefully it’s just the start. She genuinely cares about the work she does for us and we’ve collaborated together to deliver some great results. Nikki has secured a regular cadence of national, tech and industry coverage. She has fantastic relationships with the media, which has been key to securing such high quality coverage
Rachael Trotman, Communications Manager, Yoti
I’ve worked with Nikki for nearly four years, and I hope for many more to come. She is one of those rare PR people who is both a brilliant media pitcher and writer. She is fantastic at identifying – and creating – news angles, has amazing relationships with the press and is highly respected by our clients for her expertise, experience, strategic mind and – of course - results.
Charlie Le Rougetel, Founder and Director, Big Top PR
Nikki is a consummate PR professional. Tenacious at getting results, able to spot a great story and has excellent media contacts. If you want a job doing well, then Nikki is your person."
Katy Campbell, Client Services Director, The PR Network
"There are two ends to a good PR person. There’s the press end and there’s the client end. The press end has to manage journalists and the client end has to manage, well, clients. And that’s a very tough balancing act.
A really great PR person connects those two ends with editorial skill, relentless enthusiasm and entrepreneurial flare. And that’s Nikki that is."

What’s really lovely about Nikki is that – even after working in PR for years – she still loves that buzz of seeing our clients’ stories in the press and seeing her efforts make a tangible difference to their businesses. She’s also bloody lovely to work with – reliable, unflappable, fun and trustworthy. She’s also not a yes person, which I love – she challenges me every single day and that shows in the work we produce for our clients.”Charlie Le Rougetel, Founder and Director
