Communications & PR expertise to accelerate your growth and build
your reputation
We are the only communications team who understand the post Covid-19 era, using the techniques of tomorrow to deliver commercial success through your communications strategies.
We tell your story to society, customers, employees & investors so that you stand out from the crowd, and enhance your reputation.
We make your customers feel a connection to your objectives.
We're reputation management experts
working across four disciplines
Financial Services - Automotive - Social good - fintech
Financial Services
With decades of experience in the City of London and Wall Street, we help you navigate financial markets and deliver our media relationships to help you build your reputation with national and international media.
At a time when the sector is repeatedly being asked of its value to society, does your firm have the answers?
We work extensively with Investment & Retail banks, Hedge Funds and Asset Managers.
Automotive
We craft the communications for the leaders in electrified, autonomous, shared, and connected vehicles.
We specialise in helping leaders in the sector share how they are transforming transport.
Can your firm provide the answer to how the sector will evolve? Or do you have the product that will define the future? Our storytellers will craft your message and deliver your firm to new audiences and new growth opportunities.
Social good
How is your Government contributing to an improved society at a time when the very fabric of politics is being questioned? How can you get across that what you are doing is more than just paying lip service to the most important buzzwords of the moment?
We tell the story of how you stand by your actions and benefit society, rather than just serving up a portion of ESG alphabet soup.
fintech
We understand the journey from having an idea, gathering seed funding, progressing to Series A and B funding, before going public.
We help you articulate what makes you stand out from the crowd to make your vision a success.
We've worked with everything from fast growing apps in the health sector, to cutting edge research organisations, and teams revolutionising banking and social media. We're ready to tell your story.
What We Do
Communications strategies to tell your story in a clear, concise, engaging way.
Reputation management - Do your stakeholders truly understand what you stand for? Is your reputation where it needs to be? We go far beyond brand building to ensure stakeholders have a true understanding of who you are.
Media relations - Delivering top tier press coverage is a given. We go further by managing the perception of your organisation with journalists and helping you to navigate the media landscape.
Are you seen as a leader or just another also ran in your industry?
Crisis communications - Problems happen. It's how we manage them for you that sets you apart.
Public profile - Your senior leadership is crucial to the success of your firm. But how are they seen in the industry? Does their voice matter? We make sure it does.
We create original content, including press releases and bylined articles to support our awareness and thought leadership efforts and place you at the most important industry conferences and events.
Content creation - Manage the end-to-end content development process from research development, to copywriting, editing, and revisions, through to quality assurance and final production.
Internal Communications - Without your team, you are nothing. We keep them engaged, driven and make sure they are aware of what is going on, so they're not just passengers in the journey.
Speech writing - Good speeches deliver results. Great speeches make things happen. We only do the latter.
World leading credentials
Surprisingly few PRs have held editorial positions, if they’ve ever worked as journalists at all.
They simply do not understand how, why, when, or where to pitch a story.
Even fewer have held senior editorial positions.
Hardly any have practical experience and knowledge of the sectors they serve.
We have all three.
We have an in-depth knowledge of how the international media works, with senior journalistic experience in the US and Europe. We know the sorts of stories journalists are looking for and how to pitch them. And our senior leadership team have high profile corporate and political experience. We are made up of former Bankers, Chartered Accountants, and Political Advisors with an innate understanding of financial markets and the political workings of Westminster.
Our understanding and experiences will help you navigate the media landscape and elevate your reputation.
Some of the major media issues we've handled include:
- Reputation management, reversing negative news flows
-Political affairs consulting for major electoral campaigns
- Formulated media strategies for seed funded firms, Series A & Series B funding rounds and IPO communications
- New product launches
- CEO profile building and media scrutiny of senior staff and firm strategy
- Media strategy formulation to handle share price turbulence
- Regulatory and Political investigations
