Founder of Platinum Live - We Catapult Brands | Award-Winning Entrepreneur | PR & Media Management

Hey, I'm Oliver! Born and raised in the Lake District.

I’m a passionate media commentator talking about Gen Z, mental health, politics and young people in business.

Back in 2020, at the age of 16, I decided the PR industry needed a shake-up. 

That's when I started Platinum Live. 

Now, you may be someone who’s having problems with things like:

→ Driving visibility and awareness for your business 
→ Speaking on stage
→ Building your brand image 
→ Gaining media attention 
→ Wanting to speak on panels and not knowing where to start

So that’s where we come in. 

But we’re not your typical PR agency… 

We're storytellers at heart, passionate about helping people and brands share their journeys. 

Our game plan? Creating compelling communications and experiential strategies, with a content-focused approach.

Our toolkit? Public Relations, social media, content creation, and orchestrating live events.

Our clients have been featured on Sky News, ITV News, BBC News, CNN, This Morning, The Mirror, talkRadio, Times Radio, BBC Radio One, and The Metro… 

Just to name a few.

Oh, and we've helped people like Gary McKee raise a jaw-dropping £1.4 million for charity.

Keen to learn more about what we do? 

Drop me a message, and let's have a quick chat!

Area Fundraising Manager - Greater Manchester

Lead a team of 3 fundraising managers in Cumbria & Lancashire for this respected national charity. Our aim is to deliver £2 million in 2015, to help support people affected by cancer in the local area.

Every day, 31 people in Cumbria & Lancashire hear the devastating news they have cancer, and 15 people will die form the illness. The area's population of people living with cancer will nearly double from just over 70,000 in 2010 to over 130,000 in 2030.

We are looking for support from companies, groups, individuals to help us take action to stop thousands of local people feeling alone during and after treatment. Please get in touch if you'd like to help.
