Artists’ Way is a new age publicity agency that amplifies the voices of artists with open and honest storytelling in the media. 

With 9 years experience working in the music industry, founder of Artists' Way Elspeth Merry has managed publicity campaigns for breakthrough artists including FLO and Holly Humberstone, to global superstars including Sigrid, Glass Animals, Post Malone and Ariana Grande.
Elspeth also works with organisations spanning culture, arts, climate causes, music charities, media and fashion, connecting artists with Youth Music, Earth Percent, Soho House, The Royal Academy Of Arts and the British Fashion Council. 

Starting her career at Island Records and working across the label's illustrious roster, Elspeth won PR Campaign Of The Year at the Music Week Awards 2023 for her breakthrough work with FLO, and has been nominated for the Music Week PR Campaign of the Year Award four times; lauded for Hak Baker’s debut album Worlds End FM, Sigrid's debut EP Don’t Kill My Vibe campaign and debut album Sucker Punch, and BRIT Rising Star winner Holly Humberstone.

Founding Artists’ Way three years ago, Elspeth has won the BRITs Rising Star Award two years in a row, solidifying Holly Humberstone and girl group FLO as the breakout artists of 2022 and 2023. 

Underpinning Elspeth’s work is her love of the written word, the art of storytelling and making cultural impact, creatively serving the music in an ever changing media landscape, working across fashion, lifestyle, news and events.

With a background in journalism (Sunday Times, 1883 Magazine) and particular interest in telling women's stories, Elspeth also co-founded Her Hustle, the mission-driven creative production agency working to elevate women’s voices and tell stories with impact.
