What people say...
'Working with Julia was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! I really felt like she had my back and understood the goals and aims of my business. In terms of exposure, Julia was incredible at being able to secure me meetings, radio and podcast appearances, press features and connect me with influential people in my area of work. I couldn't recommend Julia enough when it comes to PR. She's so supportive, and full of energy and passion which is exactly what I needed. I can't wait to work with her again the future'

'I decided to seriously look for someone in PR after being involved in various television shows .Julia was the first person to come up when I started my research and I was drawn to her straightaway. Julia is exactly what you want - dynamic, enthusiastic, forthright, straight and funny. Along with that, she has experience in the industry and has an innate ability to hone in on something . Everything that she promised was delivered and I have been so busy with radio, podcast, TV and magazine and newspaper interviews. I would recommend Julia in a flash . She is amazing!'
Cynthia Green – celebrity registrar and wedding celebrant from 'Married At First Sight' and 'Love is Blind'.
Julia was recommended to me by Sara Davies, who I worked with on the BBC2 series, “The Ultimate Wedding Planner” where we were both judges, so I knew I would be in safe hands. I wanted to grow Silverfox Events through getting more publicity and a bigger following on social media. I also wanted to get even more opportunities on television and promote my restaurant, “Gupshup” in Hale, Cheshire. Julia is a pleasure to work with and we clicked immediately. I like the way she writes and markets me and she is really well connected in the industry. She introduced me to a brilliant photographer and a great social media manager who have both really helped me. Since I have been working with her, I have been on “The Apprentice, You’re Fired” on BBC2 and I’ve guested on various different national radio shows and podcasts. She has also secured some wonderful press coverage – a huge article in “Absolutely Cheshire” magazine which was so good, she got it framed for me as well as other big features in other glossy wedding and lifestyle magazines and I’m confident that things will keep going from strength to strength.

Julia Champion is BRILLIANT! She did the PR for my award winning book, “Goodbye Glossophobia – Banish Your Fear of Public Speaking” and for my 80% Perfect Club. I have had fantastic TV, print and radio coverage from many TV and radio shows like, Ireland AM, BBC Radio 5 Live and other BBC local and national radio stations. Julia also got me many column inches like ‘Tips from the Top’ in the Metro Newspaper – TWICE! I appeared in many podcasts, magazine interviews and newspapers. She has even got me a regular spot on national television on GB News, reviewing the news stories of the week on “Saturday Morning Live”, which I thoroughly enjoy. She’s a bright spark, with unrivalled industry connections and I’ve known her since my days at the BBC (when I’d book guests from her!) . Julia certainly has her finger on the pulse – she’s a creative thinker, quick on her feet, a go-getter, and she knows how to join the PR dots with the entertainment industry as a whole. Champion Talent PR is full of heart and they truly champion their talent! I highly recommend them if you want to have fun and enjoy the PR journey and I hope to employ her again when my next book, “Visibly Brilliant” comes out! (I’ve worked with a few agencies in the past and Champion Talent comes out on top every time).

I had never even considered getting an agent or PR before I took part in “Married at First Sight”, but following the final episode of the series, my social media following had shot up to nearly 200 thousand. Friends in the know recommended Julia Champion to me at Champion Talent PR and said she had a great reputation, so my dad and I had a meeting with her and it’s all worked really well. Julia is a massive fan of “Married at First Sight” so knew exactly who I was and how my “journey” on the show had been. We got on well from the outset, so I was excited to see where it led. Within just a few days, Julia had put me in touch with a brilliant photographer and I had a great shoot done which really reflected my personality and what I did for a living. I run a florist called “Rosaline’s Flowers” and a flower growing business called, “The Flower Paddock”. The way Julia raised my profile has really boosted my businesses. She got me lots of press coverage in big glossy magazines including “O.K!”, “New!”, “Closer” and “Absolutely Cheshire” and I was even on the front cover of “First Time Buyer” magazine with a big feature inside too. She also placed interviews in newspapers including “Metro” and the “i paper”. I’ve been interviewed live on TV on GB News and I’ve guested on several podcasts as well. Julia even arranged a training session with a Social Media Manager, who gave us both lots of tips on boosting my following and engagement on Instagram and she has also got me some paid work as an influencer for various brands and some free trips and gifts, so that’s been a great bonus! As well as all of this, Julia invites me to events, premieres, launches, awards and parties which have been not only fun, but handy for networking and filming content. I trust her completely and will always recommend her.

I was very impressed by the PR that Julia had done for my wife, Esther Stanhope, on two separate campaigns, so when I needed someone to organise the premiere and launch party for the music video from our film “Ozi – Voice of the Forest”, she was the obvious choice. Within a day of engaging her services, she met up with me to discuss what I needed her to do and understand the important messages we wanted to convey in the film about climate change, deforestation and endangered species. She immediately set to work booking the perfectly appropriate venue for the screening and after party with only a few weeks’ notice. We gave her a list of everyone involved in the production of the film and our charity partners and she also invited various relevant celebrities, social media influencers, journalists and press photographers to ensure the film got the coverage it deserved. She was efficient and organised with the guest list and party preparations and costings so we knew we could trust her to handle everything. The launch could not have gone better and was widely agreed to be a huge success. Even after the launch when her work was officially done, she continued to follow up leads, ensuring social media coverage continued. All in all – a job well done!

I love working with this dynamic duo, they to do a fantastic job, are super communicative, enthusiastic, creative and deliver more than they promise. Over the years working with them I have had wonderful features in The Sunday Times, Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday, The Metro, Saga Magazine and The Express to mention but a few as well as TV, radio and podcast appearances. I would have no hesitation to recommend Champion Talent to anyone who needs a fabulous agent and PR.

Over the years since I started Sara Eden Introductions in 1988, we have employed numerous PR agencies with very mixed success. I often thought, “Why bother”? That was until a mutual friend introduced me to Julia...Her enthusiasm and boundless energy impressed me as did her ideas and contacts but could she deliver results? Well, I can tell you YES she can! During our time with Julia looking after our PR, numerous articles have been placed in a whole range of publications - "The Daily Mail", "The Mail on Sunday", "The Sunday Times", various Sunday supplements, "Red" magazine, "Woman and Home", "GQ", "Cosmopolitan", "The Daily Express", "Financial Mail", "The Times”, “The Metro”.. the list goes on and on. She leaves no stone unturned. Julia also arranges for me to appear frequently on TV and radio including national coverage on GB News television – three times so far, "BBC Breakfast", "Lorraine" and many more television and radio programmes besides as well as podcasts. She is quite simply the BEST PR in the business and I have no problem recommending her services. If anyone wants to call me personally, I would be happy to talk to them as there is so much more I could say.
Karen Mooney Founder Sara Eden Introductions
I engaged the services of Champion Talent to promote and raise awareness of my books. Julia is a first class publicist. She has every connection within the industry of print and broadcast media and she has significantly increased awareness of any personality, service, book, or product. Julia is a woman of integrity and she makes things happen. She is a “Champion” indeed!
Joanne Reid Rodrigues, author, speaker, therapist.
Champion Talent have managed the press for the last few series of A Place In The Sun magnificently with a huge number of feature articles, TV reviews and television guest slots by the presenters out of all proportion to what a returning series would usually get. They are extremely creative in working out how to make an item fresh and interesting to broadcasters and press alike so that it isn't only good PR – it's also a great win for the newspaper or magazine running the feature and their readers. However, they excelled on the recent series when, despite extremely late confirmation of transmission, they organised an astonishing amount of interesting press and television appearances. We were very very impressed (and grateful). Hence this testimonial!
Antoine Palmer, Director Freeform Productions
I can honestly say that the money I spent on PR with Julia for my book, “You Can be Thin”, was one of the best investments I have ever made. As a direct result of using Julia’s services my book was given a full-page article in numerous major newspapers including “The Daily Mail” (TWICE), I got a three page main feature in “Elle” magazine. I got a job on “Supersize, Superskinny” on Channel 4 and others on “This Morning” and “GMTV”. She placed numerous articles about me in women’s magazines and broadsheet and tabloid newspapers as well as getting me endless radio coverage. I have used other less prestigious PR companies before but learnt that you really do get what you pay for. Julia’s ideas are first rate and she is fabulously connected and goes the distance for her clients. When one major paper failed to credit me she fought my corner and didn’t quit until they got me another article and the much wanted credit. I have recommended her to so many of my clients who have all been delighted by her innovative ideas, her energy and her consummate professionalism. I WOULD HAPPILY RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE

I know this is going to sound trite, but Julia really is MY Champion!! I don’t know how she did it, but in a span of time which easily outpaced the speed of a satellite spinning round the globe, Julia sprinkled her pixie dust all over my career. I was on more radio and television shows than I even knew existed in the UK. The biggies and the ones catering to an audience who were my exact demographic (her services are best described as “bespoke” since each client is measured and fitted to a precise and perfect fit for their particular talent). I love Julia’s passion, devotion and infectious personality. She knows she’s going to get the job done and man, she doesn’t stop until not only is the job done, but it’s delivered in a timely, professional manner. Julia rocks! And she can quote me on that.
Phillip Silverstone, freelance wine writer and wine expert based in Philadelphia, USA who wanted to raise his profile in the UK
In 2006 I retained Julia to help prepare for the launch of my book “The Healing Code” published by Hachette. I was truthfully staggered by the amount of media attention which Julia managed to secure for us. In one week alone we had 2 full pages of coverage in The Daily Mail, a prime time BBC Radio 2 appearance and an appearance on the BBC’s “Heaven and Earth” and Five’s “The Wright Stuff”. I have no doubt that a key reason for the book becoming a bestseller was the fantastic work done by Julia and I would highly recommend her.
Dermot O’Connor, Natural Health Expert, Hypnotherapist and Author
I have known Julia Champion for many years. Julia is one of the most hardworking women I know. She is creative, has original ideas and knows how to execute her plans to maximum benefit. She is honest, reliable, fun, well connected and an absolute pleasure to work with. The best part....Julia gets results.
Gillian McKeith Nutritionist, TV personality, Author and Brand Director of Gillian McKeith Products
We have worked with a myriad of PR companies to promote our specialist skincare company, “The Sher System”, but Julia’s was by far the best we have ever come across. Her energy, ideas and enthusiasm know no bounds. She always pulls out all the stops and is a delight to work with and, of course, she knows just about everyone worth knowing and covers every angle. During the time we worked with her, she placed a whole variety of articles about us and our case studies in women’s magazines and broadsheet and tabloid newspapers, significantly raising awareness of what we do and our profits. She even secured some paid corporate work for us, which was an added bonus! I have no hesitation in recommending Julia to anyone.
Helen Sher, Owner and Managing Director of The Sher System.
Some years ago I took it upon myself to make a children’s ‘Sex Education’ DVD with Dr. Hilary from GMTV. Having made it I struggled to get it marketed. That is until Julia took me on and launched myself and the DVD on every day time programme listed and numerous radio shows. Needless to say I achieved my objective and was thrilled with how it was received. I could never have done this without Julia’s professional abilities. Four days after another meeting with Julia to launch myself as a presenter I was at my first audition, six weeks later I was on screen. What does this tell you about Julia? Not only is she a kind, energised, professional, bubbly person, she is also a ruddy good agent and PR and I LOVE working with her.
Penny Stokes, Executive Producer
When I was associated with a well known Fashion House, it was always a delight to work with Julia. She was always first with new ideas in which to promote the business to the media. She was instrumental in achieving both celebrity appearances and endorsement for the brand.
