Secret Island Festival
I have supported Secret Island Festival, a day music festival in Mersea Island, Essex for the past three years.
My role is working with the team to promote the festival in the local media, focusing on their target demographic - 18+ local people who enjoy music.
This year (2026) they expanded the festival to a three day event so after getting their usual launch and line-up coverage for them, I focused on promoting the family day, given the area has a high concentration of young families. The standout story for this day was the young 8 year old DJ Finnatic, who was opening the day. I secured Finn coverage in the local media including an interview with Ben Fryer on BBC Radio Essex, which was also used across BBC Look East and the BBC Essex social media channels.
Phoebe brought insight, experience and well needed coverage to Secret Island Festival’s PR Campaign. Her knowledge of what was needed, combined with having great relationships with all the relevant publications, pushed our festival into new areas and played a huge part in increasing our ticket sales.
Such a joy to work with. We now wouldn’t use anyone else. Highly recommended.
