21 years ago, Emma Estridge founded Mushroom Marketing & PR, with a vision to help businesses grow.
Emma gives her thoughts on setting up the business:
“Reflecting on my journey before setting up Mushroom Marketing & PR, I remember my early days in the music industry, working with incredible artists like Pavarotti, Shed Seven, and Robbie Williams. Memories include organizing a post-concert birthday dinner for world-renowned pianist Radu Lupu and presenting him with a piano-shaped cake! I was also tasked with looking after the CEO of Philips at a Three Tenors Concert, who had come over from Germany to attend. (This was when I learned the hard way about not asking for receipts, after I bought him a raincoat and programme!)
After moving back to Bournemouth, I became the Marketing Manager for Health-on-Line (which now works as part of the Axa Group), where I set up the marketing from scratch and saw rapid growth over three years. Although I enjoyed my time there, I craved a new challenge where I could help multiple businesses thrive. Thus, Mushroom Marketing & PR was born, combining my diverse marketing and PR experience. 21 years later, I still love what I do (even though I don’t get to organise many piano-shaped cakes these days!).”
Mushroom Marketing & PR continues to support businesses with growth campaigns, maintaining their reputation, and increasing their awareness through targeted marketing and PR campaigns.
