Natasha Courtenay-Smith is a highly-regarded entrepreneur, author and visibility strategist.

She works with ambitious and talented individuals to help them build influence and prominence through a multi channel strategy including publicity, digital and thought-leadership. She is the author of The Million Dollar Blog (published by Piatkus, September 2016).

In 2008, Natasha, a former national newspaper journalist, started one of the UK's first online press agencies, Talk to the Press. The business became the leader in its niche, went on to win numerous awards and see Natasha featured on Management Today’s 35 under 35 list of female high flyers.

It was responsible for numerous front-page stories which often lead the news agenda in the UK. In 2014, Talk to the Press was acquired by the UK’s largest news agency group, SWNS.

One of the main secrets to the success of Talk to the Press was its ability to convert internet searches into value.
