<p>Gemma Krysko of international PR agency, <a href="https://weareindigo.co.uk/">We Are Indigo</a>, is someone we really all should be listening to. The PR queen is absolutely killing it in her day job with her stellar roll-call of clients including some of Manchester&#8217;s biggest names, from <a href="https://thewarehouseproject.com">The Warehouse Project</a>, to <a href="https://www.treehousehotels.com/manchester">Treehouse Hotel Manchester </a> and a whole host of hip and lively hideouts in Ibiza. But she&#8217;s also leading the pack with her pioneering app, <a href="https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/queens-of-tomorrow/id6499521235">Queens of Tomorrow</a>, feeding women positive affirmations whilst linking them together in a force-for-good global network.

<p>It was one of those lightbulb moments when I was in&nbsp;deep gratitude for my PR business’s survival during COVID-19. I was reflecting on&nbsp;my own journey, and for the first time in my life, I thanked myself and my mind&nbsp;for believing in myself, not giving up, and wholeheartedly believing everything&nbsp;was going to be OK!&nbsp;<br>Queens of Tomorrow literally entered my brain, and I just engaged with the process, and here we are.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-describe-a-typical-day-for-you">Describe a typical day for you</h2>



<p>No two days are the same after school drop off. But we start the day as a&nbsp;family, unless I am working away or my husband is DJing somewhere, drop the kids&nbsp;off and head to work on the tram: we have three offices, one in Manchester,&nbsp;London and Ibiza. I catch up with the teams, then try to work in blocks,&nbsp;overseeing client campaigns and events with the account directors, meeting&nbsp;and catching up with media and clients, then working on the Queens of Tomorrow app, growing the&nbsp;community of members and brainstorming event ideas.&nbsp;</p>

<p>We spend a lot of time in Ibiza for work and holidays. Ibiza has been part of&nbsp;my life for more than 20 years, and despite going so many times, each trip&nbsp;and time spent there is different. My kids love the island and there&#8217;s so much to do&nbsp;for families. One of my favourite moments last summer was a full-moon&nbsp;kayaking trip with my nine-year-old son; we watched the sunset over the&nbsp;mountain, and then the moon rise over the horizon. It was incredible.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.so-marrakech.com">So Marrakech</a> in Altrincham! I love the coffee &#8211;  it&#8217;s the best in Altrincham and the food is also excellent. I love all the quirky homeware you can buy and the best seat is the window seat where you can watch the world go by.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/suzylovesmilo/?hl=en">Suzy Loves Milo</a> in the Northern Quarter, which is brilliant; owners Bob and Suzy hand-select&nbsp;the stock from all over the world and regularly run pop-ups in the sister shop a&nbsp;few doors up the road. The last item I bought was a bright orange hiking jacket by&nbsp;Purple Mountain Observatory.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It&#8217;s got to be the Lake District. For the walks and the cold-water swimming, and generally just&nbsp;being exposed to the all the elements. I also love a walk near my mum&#8217;s in&nbsp;Appley Bridge. It was such a boring place to grow up but I really appreciate&nbsp;my mum being there now. The canals are really pretty and on New Year’s Day this&nbsp;year, I saw the end of the rainbow falling on the canal whilst out on a run and I thought, this is going to be a great year!&nbsp;</p>

<p>I love <a href="https://www.erst-mcr.co.uk">Erst</a> in Ancoats. I feel like I&#8217;m in Berlin in the space which is all raw interiors and&nbsp;incredible food. I also love The Sparrows for the homemade spaetzle. And in Ibiza? It has to be <a href="https://www.bestalamanca.com">Bes</a>, a very relaxed <em>chiringuito</em> serving&nbsp;next-level sushi with the chilled atmosphere of Formentera.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I love John Leigh Park for a walk. And just a short drive&nbsp;away is <a href="https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/cheshire-greater-manchester/dunham-massey">Dunham Massey</a>. The best time to go is really early, walking among&nbsp;the trees and the deer before anyone else gets there. On the opposite end of&nbsp;life, I love <a href="https://thewarehouseproject.com">The Warehouse Project</a>. It&#8217;s where I met my husband and it&#8217;s one of&nbsp;our longest standing clients we have represented since the early days of <a href="https://weareindigo.co.uk/">We Are&nbsp;Indigo</a>.&nbsp;</p>
