In today’s fast-moving business landscape, visibility, clarity and connection have never been more important. At the centre of this sits strong, strategic communication, and that is exactly what Marie Carter delivers through Queen Bee Communications, a PR and events management business built on experience, insight and a genuine understanding of how to make brands stand out.

With over 26 years in the industry, Marie brings a depth of knowledge that goes far beyond traditional PR. While her core expertise lies in public relations, every project is approached with a broader marketing lens, ensuring that all channels, from social media to events and campaigns, work seamlessly together.

Care, creativity, and strategic thinking
Queen Bee Communications works with both independent businesses and major national brands across the UK, with a portfolio spanning all sectors. Marie has worked with brands such as LightSpeed Broadband, Community Integrated Care, Brass Monkey, Sudeley Castle & Gardens, Hugo Boss, Twycross Zoo, Harley-Davidson, Oxfam, and Greene King, and has also acted as a consultant to a number of agencies. Marie also supports smaller businesses such as Film Friendly and Scarlett Willow Designs with the same level of care, creativity, and strategic insight.
Events form a key part of the offering, with Marie managing everything from conferences and award ceremonies to product launches, press shows and influencer events. Each is designed not just to impress on the day, but to create lasting impact, supported by strong media coverage and digital storytelling.
Building genuine relationships
On the PR side, the approach is equally dynamic. From day-to-day press office management to large-scale campaigns, experiential activity and creative stunts, Queen Bee Communications focuses on building genuine relationships with media and audiences alike, ensuring stories are not only seen but remembered.
Communications and Confidence Clinic
For smaller businesses looking to strengthen their communications, Marie also offers a Communications and Confidence Clinic, a practical and accessible way to gain expert guidance. This two-part process begins with a one-hour consultation to understand the business, its challenges and ambitions. Marie then carries out in-depth research into competitors, audience and current channels, before presenting a tailored set of recommendations in a comprehensive “communications bible.” A follow-up session brings everything to life, equipping clients with clear, actionable steps to refine their messaging, improve their content and ultimately grow their business. The clinic is offered at £250, making high-level strategic insight accessible to those who need it most.
Life of Riley
Adding a more personal touch to the brand, Marie is also joined by Riley the Dachshund, an Instagram personality in his own right. Through @Life_of_Riley2021, he collaborates with brands and promotes dog-friendly locations, offering an additional avenue for partnerships and creative campaigns.
A highly personalised approach
At its heart, Queen Bee Communications is about helping businesses communicate with confidence, clarity and purpose. Whether through PR, events or strategic guidance, Marie brings experience, creativity and a highly personalised approach to every client she works with.
For those looking to elevate their brand and make a lasting impression, Queen Bee Communications offers a partnership that is both professional and refreshingly human.
