Client Brief

In a very personal campaign that was close to our hearts, License to PR supported the fundraising efforts of our agency Finance Director, Rebecca Watson.

A pro bono PR campaign generated awareness for the family’s GoFundMe page and publicised an upcoming appearance in the Channel 4 documentary Super Surgeons to help reach their goal of raising £350,000 to fund life-saving cancer treatment in the US for her husband, Jonathan.
