“I believe public relations is of strategic value to a business in helping it to communicate with its audience. The more we know about a company, the clearer the mental image we develop of it and the more inclined we are to buy from it.”
Finola Sloyan
Competitive differentiators
Businesses are about the people in them. Bringing out people’s personalities and specialties in print helps to form an opinion about someone of interest, their purpose and identity. I work with individuals and companies in the technology sector to help to communicate a brand’s purpose and become known for what makes them leaders in their field.
Where I communicate
Opinion and thought leadership pieces are shared in industry media, social media and blog articles on company sites. My goal is to inform and deliver a brand’s messages to the right audience. It will be topical, relevant to readers, and timely.
Some background about me
Growing up in an island nation, I knew from an early age I wanted to ‘get away’ to new places and learn about life elsewhere and I guess I did that.
I’ve worked in Europe (Dublin, Marbella, Paris), America (New York), West Africa (Accra) and England (Portsmouth, London) meeting all kinds, from people in suits in Paris ~ to people in flowing white ponchos in New York ~ diplomats in Accra ~ to people holding clubs in the South of Spain.
Today, and since setting up SloyanPR in 2015, I am thankful to be working in an industry that plays a crucial role in our work and personal lives, technology.

“As someone who has been involved in sales and marketing for decades, I have learned to respect those who walk the talk. One of those individuals is Finola Sloyan.
I have come to know and engage with her over the past few years, as a result of our mutual involvement in social media. I quickly grew to respect her based on her content, professional conduct, and passion for what she’s doing.
One of her real strengths is her worldly knowledge. Having lived in Africa, the U.S., and a number of countries in Europe, she brings a different perspective to things. Having traveled extensively over the years, I can’t stress enough the benefits this brings in dealing with different communications issues and other challenges. It’s something you just can’t learn from a textbook.
I’m looking forward to ongoing engagement with Finola. I know that I can continue to learn from her and value her guidance. I can honestly recommend that you give her consideration if you are looking to hire an experienced PR and communications professional to serve your business, she should be given top consideration. I know you won’t be disappointed.”

“Finola stressed the importance of having a good online profile to actively position me, my skills and the value of what Media 15 and Media 16 offer our customers. She advised what would make my brand more likely to be noticed, such as outlining our solutions and making our ideal prospect curious to know more. I recognise and acknowledge the importance of promoting brand awareness, both on and off-line, and am therefore happy my personal branding accurately reflects where I am today.”
