We’re Talking Tortoise – a family-run marketing and PR agency with a niche: helping visitor attractions come out of their shell and into the spotlight!

We are a small but mighty herd of six, specialising in shouting about zoos, museums, theme parks, soft plays, and everything in between.

Founded by mum-of-four Jessica Blyth-Sweetingham in 2014, and now co-led with husband Martin, the Stratford-based team has carved out a name as The Tourist Attraction Agency and specialise in giving visitor destinations a voice – online, in the media, and beyond. Our story is one of steady, values-driven growth from kitchen-table beginnings to now working nationally and internationally.

What sets us apart? A genuine love for what we do, strong family values, and a personal, relationship-first approach. We don’t rush the process because just like the tortoise, we believe in thoughtful, lasting results. Whether it’s BBC headlines or sold-out attractions, we’re here to get people talking…and visiting!

Talking Tortoise isn’t just about making noise; it’s about helping businesses come out of their shell and tell their stories with heart, humour, and strategy.

We thrive on real relationships, deep industry passion, and a steady strategic pace because, as they like to say, the tortoise always wins the race!
