Local PR Placement for Bodiology Sussex

Overview

Koprio supported Bodiology Sussex, an Eastbourne based salon focused on helping local women feel confident and supported, by securing editorial coverage in local media.

The objective was to extend the salon’s existing local presence by increasing visibility through regional press and strengthening brand authority within the wider community.

The campaign focused on positioning Bodiology Sussex within a trusted editorial environment that reflected its values and community led approach.

Challenge

Bodiology Sussex is a well established local salon with a strong reputation and loyal client base in Eastbourne. The aim of this campaign was to extend that existing presence by increasing visibility through local media and strengthening brand authority within the wider community.

Like many independent businesses, the goal was to ensure their story and values were represented beyond their own channels and reached a broader local audience.

Strategy

Koprio developed and placed a feature style editorial highlighting the salon’s community impact and ethos, focusing on:

• Women’s wellbeing and confidence building
• The salon’s role in supporting local clients
• A human interest angle suited to local press audiences

The content was tailored for regional readership rather than promotional advertising, increasing the likelihood of acceptance by publishers.

Execution

A long form column was written and submitted to Eastbourne News, a local digital news platform with strong community readership.

The article was accepted and published online here:
