Marketing and PR agency Tuesday Media has secured a trio of new clients after its founder relocated the business from Brighton to her home town of Liverpool during the pandemic.

Tuesday chief executive Sophie Wilson had lived in the South East of England for 20 years, building up a successful business. However, she contracted COVID-19 and became so ill that at one point she was hospitalised. 

Her symptoms persisted for months, severely hampering her ability to work. In June 2020 she moved back to her parents’ home in Liverpool. In 2021 she decided to stay in the city and relaunch Tuesday Media. She is based out of the city’s Baltic Triangle district.

Tuesday’s client base is now split 50/50 between the North West and the South East and this week Sophie revealed she had won three new clients – Reilly Cycleworks, Em Stroud and Jonny Clark.

Brighton-based Reilly Cycleworks is a bespoke UK bike brand, designed by cyclists for cyclists. Its best-selling gravel, adventure and road bikes are built to Mark Reilly’s ground-breaking frame geometry, optimised for comfort and speed.

Corporate ‘clowning coach’ Em Stroud coaches individuals, chief executives and leaders to help them find “joy in life and work” using techniques mastered from the art of clowning. A TEDX speaker, Em has recently published her new book Lessons from A Clown. Her clients include Deloitte, Barclays and Barclaycard.

Jonny Clark is co-founder of Liverpool-based GDPR Defender and leader of the Liverpool Startup Grind community of more than 100 unique early-stage tech businesses. Jonny is also an angel investor who builds, advises and invests in technology ventures.

“Tuesday Media loves making great work for great people and our three new clients certainly fit that description,” said Sophie. “We look forward to helping these positive changemakers to distill their own unique stories and tell them on different channels to achieve their goals.”
