Cornwall PR Consultant Launches AI Training for Communications Professionals

Cornwall PR consultant launches training to help comms teams stay ahead

After years of avoiding artificial intelligence, Cornwall-based PR and communications consultant Rob Phillimore is now helping others embrace it.

Rob has launched a new half-day training session called AI for PR, starting 1st August, aimed at helping PR and comms professionals gain confidence in using AI tools across their daily workflow. The sessions are designed for beginners and offer a practical, human-first approach to a topic many in the creative industries have felt unsure about.

From AI Cynic to Certified Trainer

With eight years of experience working across sectors like technology, space, film, culture and charity, Rob knows how fast-paced and demanding the world of PR can be.

“I spent so much time actively avoiding AI, as it seemed to be coming for everything I enjoyed: writing, music – all things creative, basically,” said Rob. “However, with conversations around AI and the future of work being hard to ignore, I decided to bite the bullet and learn a new skill. My aim is to help PR and comms teams embrace AI to assist with their ever-increasing workloads, with a non-technical, human-first approach.”

Having recently completed the AI for Non-Techies “Become an AI Trainer” programme, Rob is now a CPD-certified AI trainer. His new offering aims to demystify AI for small and medium-sized PR teams, showing how it can support everything from campaign planning and content creation to media outreach and monitoring.

Cornwall and Beyond

The AI for PR training will be delivered both in-person in Cornwall and virtually across the UK, with sessions tailored to suit the size and needs of different teams. Rob’s style is intentionally jargon-free and beginner-friendly, focusing on how AI can boost productivity without taking away the human creativity at the heart of PR work.

To celebrate the launch, the first ten companies to book a session will receive 15% off the regular price.
