Prohibition PR is a Leeds PR agency founded in 2012. The agency has won over 45 industry awards and has been named a Top 50 UK PR Agency. With more than 25 years of experience, it operates with a team of 25+ PR practitioners. Chris Norton is the managing director and has more than 25 years of experience in the PR industry; Will Ockenden is a director.

The team covers public relations, social media marketing, video production, crisis communication and media relations. Clients span sectors including retail, hospitality, higher education, health, and the public sector. Prohibition PR offers PR, content marketing and social media services.

Leeds-based Prohibition PR has built a following through a regular programme of webinars and seminars, and attendees frequently return to describe what they gained. A recurring theme across feedback is the depth of knowledge on display, with sessions covering content planning, market understanding and practical marketing techniques that participants can apply straight away. Several reviewers highlight the clarity of delivery, noting that complex material is presented confidently and in an approachable, unpretentious manner, while the free masterclasses offered to nonprofits are repeatedly singled out as generous and genuinely useful to the sector.

Chris Norton is named by at least one attendee as the speaker behind a particularly informative content marketing seminar, and the engaging, entertaining style of presentations comes up often. Those who have attended both in-person events and online sessions report consistently strong experiences, praising the comprehensive nature of the material and the volume of actionable ideas shared. Attendees also mention the welcoming touches, such as refreshments, that accompany the sessions. The practical focus of the webinars, from content strategy to day-to-day marketing hacks, is a point that comes up often among participants who leave with clear next steps for their own organisations.
