Cass Helstrip, PR Director
Having sold one of the UK’s leading travel PR agencies at the end of 2021, Cass also has over 20 years experience in the travel industry.
Multi-award-winning Cass retains an exceptional eye for a story and has developed unrivalled TV contacts that have seen numerous TV hits delivered for clients including ITV This Morning, Master Chef, The Apprentice, Good Morning Britain and Lorraine to name just a few. Undoubtedly one of Cass’ key strengths is her unprecedented black book of contacts having access to and the trust of the travel editors. Creative ideation and stunts are also a passion.
Cass played a pivotal role in launching Richard Branson’s first US hotel by orchestrating a Ferris Bueller-style stunt outside the inaugural Virgin Hotel. When Cass worked with Las Vegas CVA, she collaborated with British Airways to launch their inaugural flight.
"I’ve worked closely with Cass for in excess of 14 years. She has a keen eye for a story and her attention to detail is invaluable when it comes to storyboarding and developing the call sheets for live VTs. She’s tenacious and does not ever let me miss an important story, but respectful in understanding how busy it can be working on a non-stop news desk. Her creativity is brilliant and I believe her earnest approach warms media to her as they know they can really trust her to deliver and be honest about the state of play. She’s the queen of sticking to her word and managing expectations, whether that means being at a filming site at 5 a.m. or making sure we have the information we need at midnight. Consummate professional and all round superstar - a PR force to be reckoned with."
