Fed up with advertising not working?
Once upon a time, there was a brilliant business – yours. The only problem? Everyone else was shouting louder. Then it discovered the secret the others were using to steal the spotlight: public relations (PR). Wait…what is PR?
View PR as promoters of your business, brand or charity, which helps set you apart from your competitors. Different to advertising, it has the power to reach audiences in a credible way by creating stories that establish conversations and get your stakeholders talking about you.
PR is also a protector of reputations. We’re undercover firefighters, preventing issues that start to spark from turning into infernos and crises.
What we do and what sets us apart from other agencies
We’re an independent, consumer, corporate and B2B PR agency, delivering external and internal communications. Our passion is to see your business or charity grow by creating communications strategies that become an integrated part of your business and marketing plans.
Not only can we provide fresh strategic insight and highlight new perspectives you hadn’t thought of, we’re also experts in storytelling. We believe every organisation has a story worth telling but for people to hear and talk about that story it has to be told in the right way.
We use the power of words, images, audio and film to create and shape conversations to get your stakeholders such as customers, staff, the media, investors and policymakers talking about you. We strive to develop the most creative strategies as PR is more than press releases.
Who we love working with
We’re curious and love learning and working with different types of businesses and sectors. We especially get that warm, fuzzy feeling supporting small and medium sized, founder owned and run British companies and charities. And if you are family run then even better!
PR is not just for large businesses with big budgets but for all shapes and sizes and you’ll be surprised with what you can achieve.
What we want you to feel when you work with us
We want you to feel excited about working with us but also feel like you are learning from us too as we aim to demystify what PR is. Our principles and values shape our culture, steer our work, and support our relationships with the media, clients, suppliers, and staff:
