Kevin Wilson Public Relations is a boutique West End PR agency that punches BIG.

​

Kevin Wilson has a journalist’s instinct for a great story and how to sell it in a rapidly changing media landscape. An award-winning publicist (West End Publicist of the Year  - Fringe Report Awards) he moved into PR 30 years ago after 18 years as a print journalist working in London and Hollywood.

 

He launched Kevin Wilson Public Relations in 1995 and has worked consistantly in the West End representing some of the biggest and most successful productions, including George Takei's Allegiance ("backed by an extensive PR campaign that can probably be seen from outer space" - BroadwayworldUK), SIX the musical, The Kite Runner, The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, the UK premiere of the Broadway production of Green Day's American Idiot, Thriller Live (11 years at the Lyric Theatre). Other long-runners include The 39 Steps, Avenue Q, The Rocky Horror Show and The Rat Pack Live from Las Vegas, plus Debbie Reynolds - Alive and Fabulous and Joan Rivers: A Work in Progress By a Life in Progress.

​

Venue and producer clients include The Mill at Sonning Theatre, the open air Lavender Theatre, Arches London Bridge and EntertainersUK.

 

KWPR is also one of the most sought after agencies working Off West End and on the London Fringe, where our productions annually receive dozens of Off West End Awards (Offie) nominations.

​

KWPR has supported hundreds of clients over more than 25 years at the annual Edinburgh Fringe.

We have a proven track record in supporting the biggest Fringe hits. We guided SIX the musical from a Fringe show in 2018 to the West End and on to global domination. It ranks as the most successful Edinburgh Fringe show of all time (seen by over 3.6 million people to date). In our hands, Sir Ian McKellen's ballet version of Hamlet was the talk of the Festival and a 100% sold out smash hit.

MUSIK by the Pet Shop Boys and Jonathan Harvey starring Frances Barber was another Fringe Must See Show and transferred to the West End. US comedy Queen Joan Rivers caused a sensation when she premiered her autobiographical play, Joan Rivers: Work in Progress by a Life in Progress, at the Underbelly in Edinburgh before a London season.

​

KWPR has provided PR support in the UK to a host of major celebrities including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, John Travolta, Patti LuPone, Joan Collins, Joan Rivers, Sandra Bernhard, Candace Bushnell, Roseanne Barr, Glen Campbell, Jerry Lee Lewis, John Leguizamo and Eartha Kitt.
