Meet the Neighbours - Jake Rusby

Jake runs PR firm Rusby Media based in North Tyneside Business Centre and is the best-selling author of Newcastle United Match of My Life.

Jake says: “I’m a former national journalist, and for the past decade or so I have been working with organisations across the North East and beyond with PR, helping to share their stories through the media.

“However, last year I had a slight change of direction and wrote a book about football! ‘Newcastle United Match of My Life’ came out in October and became an Amazon best-seller. I will hopefully have another Toon book out in 2025. 

“I love North Shields. I live here, I work here, my kids go to school here. It is a beautiful, thriving town, with interesting people and organisations at the beating heart of the community. I’m from London, but I’m now proud to call North Shields my home.”
