Birdsong Communications

What Birdsong Communications does

Birdsong Communications (now operating as Birdsong) is a boutique, founder-led public relations, social media, and influencer marketing agency based in Holywood, Northern Ireland. Founded by Angela Hunter in 2000, the firm operates with 1–10 employees and serves a mix of startups, established brands and PLCs, and government/public sector bodies, primarily in Northern Ireland with documented cross-border work in the Republic of Ireland.

The agency's service portfolio spans traditional PR, social media management, influencer marketing, reputation management, award strategy and entry writing, video content creation, and event creation. There is no proprietary technology platform; delivery is human-driven and relationship-led, anchored by the founder's 25+ years of PR experience, personal media contacts across Northern Ireland broadcast, daily, and online outlets, and a parallel personal lifestyle brand (Cinch Your Life) that provides credibility in the micro-influencer space.

Commercially, the firm runs a professional-services revenue model with quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed rate cards. Go-to-market is direct sales via email, phone, and tender submissions, with named clients including Belfast Chamber, Kerry County Council, BPerfect Cosmetics, Andras Hotel Group, and several regional media outlets. In 2025 the firm rebranded from Birdsong Communications to Birdsong to signal a refreshed, brand-growth-focused positioning, but it remains privately held, unfunded, and dependent on a single founder-operator.
