Independent storytelling agency for business and founders

Because stories make the world go round…

When it comes to storytelling - emotion is the name of the game and that’s what we’re all about at The Now Agency.

Founded and led by journalist and writer Penny Harrison, Now brings you a no nonsense service rooted in the principles of storytelling.

Our flagship storytelling workshop is all about helping businesses and founders nail their story and tell it with heart.

Audiences and customers might not remember facts and figures - but they remember how you made them feel - that’s the power of story and that’s what makes them stick around.

Penny is a former national news and lifestyle journalist who has worked for some of the UK’s biggest media companies.

She has written for and edited national newspapers, global news sites and women’s magazines.

Her news sense and understanding of story and how to tell it with impact drives her passion for helping businesses nail their PR.

“Stories find the places in us that matter. They make us feel, help us change and urge us to act - that’s why your business story needs to hit your audiences right in the heart.”

What they say…

  • Penny has a real gift for quickly understanding both the heart of a brand and the humans behind it. She has an incredible ability to draw out the gold and shape it into a powerful story that resonates with the right audience. Our clients loved working with Penny, and I did too.

    Luana Ribeira Founder and Managing Director, Dauntless PR

  • Penny is absolutely fantastic to work with and I recommend her without hesitation. She is a breath of fresh air and a very welcome antidote to those W1A-style PR agencies that talk jargon, charge the earth and deliver nothing.it is not just about the quality of Penny’s work. Penny “gets it” very quickly and then sets about finding ways to make a difference.

    Sue Langley, charity CEO
