Chris Batchelor, who previously spent five years as a director at Edinburghs’s Muckle Media, has launched a new communications agency in the city which he says will aim to “bring a fresh approach to PR and brand communications, helping businesses create campaigns that not only perform but also make people feel good.”
Feel Good Comms is looking for people to join the team on its new journey, and is currently actively recruiting for a trainee and account executive. The agency is looking to hear from those who are passionate about turning inspiring stories into measurable success, and want a fulfilling and successful career path.
During his five years at Muckle Media, Batchelor helped the agency achieve major growth and award recognition, including PRCA DARE Award Scotland’s Large Consultancy of the Year. He led high profile accounts including The R&A, Barrhead Travel, Lyreco, and Continuum Attractions.
With more than a decade of experience spanning PR, social media, influencer partnerships, experiential marketing and creative campaigns, he also brings a wealth of insight from roles at leading London agencies including PrettyGreen, PHA, Karmarama, and Publicasity. His portfolio includes work with brands such as Disney Parks, Three Mobile, Vauxhall Motors, and Brooks Running.

Batchelor said: “At Feel Good Comms, everything starts with how a story makes people feel. Whether it’s through a news story, a social campaign that sparks conversation, or an experience that brings people together, we want to help brands tell stories that bring feel good vibes.
“We feel like we live in a time where the world needs more good news and there’s a real opportunity for brands right now to spread positivity and purpose. Feel Good Comms is here to do just that, in a way that’s both authentic, and drives results. I’ve been lucky enough to work with some of the best people in the industry over my career, and I’m excited to take everything I’ve learnt to pave the way for Feel Good Comms to be both an amazing agency to work with, and for.”
From its Edinburgh base, Feel Good Comms will work with clients across the UK, from established organisations to emerging brands looking to make their mark.
