Liss McGowan, owner of Bliss Stays Mudgee
“Emma & the Real PR team are incredible wordsmiths, crafting our brand's story with pure magic. It's like they've taken the marketer in me & cranked it up a hundred notches, immersing themselves into our business so that they can also forge an authentic connection with our audience.
Emma & the team are not just PR pros; they're like our go-to pals for business advice. They seamlessly blend their strategies with our vibe, becoming our secret weapon for success. In the world of PR, Emma & the Real PR team are absolute stars!”

Rod Berry, CEO at Amber Lane Distillery
“We have been working with Emma & the Real Public Relations team for about a year now & we are incredibly impressed.
In the past, we have found digital marketing firms to be unresponsive & lacking in initiative. By contrast, Emma is proactive & creative in her approach & makes things happen quickly.
In the time that we have been working with her, Emma has helped significantly increase both our industry profile & our following on socials. A key strategy has been helping us find our voice with our local community on the Central Coast & the Real Public Relations team has done that in spades! We have also experienced much stronger traction in the media & we feel much better connected to our industry.
All of this success has produced more income for our business, making our investment in Real Public Relations worth every cent.”

Charmaine & Chad Hurrell, owners of Evamor Valley
“Real Public Relations have been with us from the beginning. Emma and her experience team of specialists have a deep understanding of our product and ensures the strategies implemented on social platforms result in a strong foundation and business growth.
Real Public Relations focuses on aligning our expectations as accurately and creatively as possible, giving us new opportunities in the media marketplace and strong results.
It’s a winning partnership and we couldn’t do without them!”

Rochelle Burbury, Principal at Third Avenue Consulting
“I have my own PR business and was looking for someone to work with me on a range of very busy, diverse clients. I was lucky enough to have Emma recommended to help me - and she accepted, despite my “on the run” briefing skills and throwing her in the deep end of projects ranging from complex education policy launches to the best-selling toys from ToysRUs.
“Emma has the ability to grasp client needs quickly, is responsive, and a fast, reliable professional. As we are both former journalists, her ability to write and know how the media works were very important to me and Emma has delivered. She is a pleasure to work with.”
-
Roni Shorer from Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation
“Emma’s innate ability to take a complicated idea and make it simple has made her our go-to for a variety of high-level communications pieces.
Emma is a truly fantastic writer – she is able to quickly comprehend a brief and deliver above and beyond expectations. Her background and knowledge in government communications, particularly in healthcare, puts her in an enviable position to easily understand the task at hand and produce high-quality documents.
Emma is efficient, easy to work with, and always delivers – we hope to continue our working relationship.”
-
Monica Campbell, owner of Alby + Esthers
“I was recommended by another local business owner to use Emma and her Real team for all things social media and marketing.
Since taking Emma and her team on-board, it has taken the pressure off me, as the business owner, and has made my life a lot easier - and our social pages have never looked and performed so well! Emma and her team took the time to understand my business and the brand itself, and have been very clear in communication from the start.
Having a professional and skilled team look after your socials and marketing for your business was an obvious choice for me. I highly recommend Real PR for all your marketing needs.”
-
Alex Loftus from Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network
“Emma is a dream to work with, and is someone who feels like an extension of your team. Not only is she calm and reassuring when a project comes her way, she delivers high quality work.
Emma can also grasp complex topics quickly and turn a complicated narrative into user-friendly communications.
I would highly recommend Emma to other organisations – big or small!”
-
Simone Peppitt, owner of Florence May Intimates
“I can't imagine not having the Real PR team in my (business) life. Emma is are always upbeat, positive, warm & above all, has the best sense of the ridiculous!
To say Real PR has made a positive impact on my business is an understatement. They have completely transformed my little store. I am so excited for the future & the potential to reach even greater heights.”
-
Julie Wright from Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation
“Emma is one of the best in the business. Having had a front-row seat to Emma's delivery of a range of public relations campaigns, I can honestly say her ability to understand a client's business & get results is second to none.
“No matter the simplicity or complexity of a project she is driven to succeed. Emma is efficient, dynamic and creative & has an innate ability to understand a business model & how best to promote it.
“Her meticulous attention to detail, innovative ideas & passion for writing has made her my go-to for a range of projects & I wouldn't hesitate in engaging her again and again.”
-
Angela Winters, owner of Beauty Reclaimed Cosmetic Centre
“The day I asked for a recommendation for someone to 'spruce up my website' & was advised to contact Emma turned out to be a hugely successful day for my business! We clicked immediately upon first meeting & she listened to what I thought I wanted & helped me understand where gaps in my marketing strategy were.
Fast forward to 3 months later & I have a new, beautifully built website, new business cards, flyers, gift cards & my social media presence is amazing! The weight that's been lifted from my shoulders is phenomenal & I hadn't even realised how stressed I'd become until handing over some of the reins to Emma.
She has a knack for seeing your business & the potential for improvements, she's helped me think outside of the box I'd become stuck in. I cannot recommend her highly enough, I'll be her client for as long as she'll have me!”
-
Fiona Lydiard, owner of Odd Frog Lodges
“Since engaging the services of Real Public Relations, Odd Frog Lodges has gone from strength to strength. In a very short time, our social media has grown & become so engaging.
Emma is so supportive of our success & owns it. Most importantly, we are like-minded & have fun doing what we love. Thank you Emma for always backing my crazy ideas!”
-
Bronny Parry, owner of Mudgee Explorer Tours
“Emma Spillett has overhauled the social media presence for Mudgee Explorer Tours & has really upped our style!
I love the addition of the coherent style to our Instagram & the interactive approach with our customers. She organised a professional photo shoot for the team & some of our customers & maintained her unstoppable optimism during the downtime. Emma also upped our marketing strategy with our monthly customer newsletter too.”
-
Nicky Seaby, strategy and engagement specialist
“Emma has a great eye & ear for an audience. One of her strongest skills is developing written & visual content that can reach, & connect to, the right people.
I have worked alongside Emma as a colleague & since she has established her own business, as her client. She has always been incredibly professional, organised & outcomes & client focused. She has a great writing style & ability to cut through the mess & relay the messages that you need.
I would highly recommend Emma for any of your writing and publicity needs.”
-
Judy Goldman from Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network
“Emma Spillett is a true professional, capable of delivering small & large communications projects with limited guidance & minimal supervision. She truly understands what her client needs & creates compelling, targeted content.
Emma’s work for the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network hit the mark each time. I recommend her without hesitation for any communication projects - she is a delight to work with, grasps complex issues & turns work around very quickly and capably at all times.”
-
Julie Watts, manager of Mudgee Fine Foods
“Having conducted our own marketing survey, Mudgee Fine Foods Inc. could see we needed to lift our social media presence & fill a void in our marketing.
We contacted & interviewed several providers, however, we were impressed by Real PR’s down-to-earth approach & engagement with our own philosophy & the authenticity of locally sourced, small batch produce & products.
We engaged Emma & her team to launch our new Sunday Makers’ Market – a new concept in Mudgee. Since then, we have gone from strength to strength & used Real PR to update our website & provide social media workshops for our stallholders.
We appreciate their responsiveness & sound advice.”

Michale Noone from Q Agency
“Emma & the Real PR team are great to work with. They are no fuss operators that deliver great results for us & our clients.
I have used them across multiple projects & accounts to help deliver exceptional results."
-
Joella Richardson, head of marketing at Seven Mile Coffee Company
“Emma & the Real PR have been fantastic to work with. Quickly getting their teeth into our brand & category, bringing a fresh perspective, a collaborative approach & driving awesome results for our Sydney Padre Coffee launch.”
-
Mick Ash, owner, Three Tails Brewery
“Prior to working with Real PR, we found that our PR, marketing, social & website strategies were fragmented & there was no cohesive strategy tying them all together. The idea was to bring everything under one roof, have one point of contact for everything, align all services & also critically, improve what we were doing.
The results to date have been quite frankly spectacular & way beyond anything we could have hoped for. Everything we asked for has been delivered with interest, but it’s also the additional factors that we love. From arranging photo shoots, liaising with journalists & other local businesses, arranging flyers - the list goes on and on.
All this is great, but to me even more important is the fact Emma and her team really care about our business - & it’s a genuine interest, not superficial because we pay them. They literally want to see us succeed & are continually working to see that happen. There’s always a prompt response to any query, a positive attitude & - they’re just nice people (sounds corny, but it’s true & important).
We love their service & everything they do - I cannot recommend highly enough - because this is how a small, professional business should be run.”
