Celebrating our 30th year anniversary in 2026, Kevin Wilson Public Relations is a boutique West End PR agency that punches BIG.

​

Starting his long career working on newspapers in the 1970s, 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 after 18 years as a print journalist working in both London and Hollywood.

 

He launched Kevin Wilson Public Relations in 1995 and has represented some of the biggest and most successful West End productions, including SIX the musical, Thriller Live (11 years at the Lyric Theatre), George Takei's Allegiance ("backed by an extensive PR campaign that can probably be seen from outer space" - BroadwayworldUK), The Kite Runner, The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, and the UK premiere of the Broadway production of Green Day's American Idiot. 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 have included 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, where our productions annually receive dozens of Off West End Awards (Offie) and Fringe Theatre Awards nominations.

​

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

we have a proven track record in supporting the biggest 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. 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 starring Frances Barber by the Pet Shop Boys and Jonathan Harvey 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 also  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.
