Maria Boyle founded MB Communications over two decades ago with a simple belief: senior PR counsel shouldn’t be diluted through layers of account management.
Before setting up her own business, Maria was at Hill & Knowlton in London, where she became the youngest person appointed to its Board and the agency’s first Head of Media, working with Boots, Kellogg’s, Lego and Britvic.
Earlier in her career she worked with British Airways and Vodafone at an independent PR agency, and with Telstra Australia at Countrywide PR in Sydney.
Today she works across luxury, health and beauty brands, publishing houses and travel, and loves supporting female-founded businesses. Clients include Hancocks London, Robinson Pelham, Jo Hansford Mayfair, The Barbara Taylor Bradford Trust and Boots.
With a love of words and a passion for travel, Maria write for titles including The London Standard, Harper’s Bazaar, YOU Magazine and the Yorkshire Post. Being on the other side of the story keeps her sharp on what editors need. That passion has long shaped her PR work too, with past travel clients including Luxury Family Hotels and Meriski.
What sets Maria apart is her media relationships. Built over 25 years and maintained with genuine care, her connections with leading editors, senior journalists and broadcasters are among the strongest in the industry — and they translate directly into results that other consultancies simply can’t replicate.
The industry has taken note. Maria sits on the Women in Journalism board alongside media CEOs and the UK’s top editors, and her relationships run across national newspapers, magazines, broadcast, online, social and podcasts. Luxury Daily named Maria a Luxury Woman to Watch, and PR Week ranked her among the top three independent PR consultants in the UK.
“It’s not often that you find someone who not only understands a news angle but delivers on their promises in the PR world, and Maria Boyle consistently does both – often going above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that a project is a success.”
