PR

Nothing is black or white in PR.  But in a highly competitive media environment, PR can make your story stick, change how people perceive your brand and shift the terms of debate.

We know just what it takes to make a story stand out.  We've plonked sofas in city centres so that young people can start conversations on alcohol and drugs and played birdsong in DIY stores to reach new audiences for RSPB.

We've created viral games to challenge the stigma surrounding mental health.  We've had middle aged men playing darts to 'score' their blood pressure level, and put comedians on buses to raise awareness of disability discrimination.



Issue campaigns

Grab and sustain interest in social and environmental issues.

This is our lifeblood. We're proud of our reputation for creating campaigns which set new agendas, generate fresh support, and create lasting shifts in how people think and act.



Media relations

Get the coverage that counts

From online (video, podcasts, blogs and events) to trade and professional, consumer, news and broadcast (including dramas and soaps), we use media strategically.



Partnerships and stakeholder relations

Create innovative, strategic partnerships and credible stakeholder engagement

Working with partners who have a stake in your issue or who resonate with your audiences can be a crucial component in achieving your PR goals. We deliver innovative, strategic partnerships and credible stakeholder engagement as an integral part of your PR strategy.



Crisis management

Steer clear, be prepared, manage, recover.

We can steer you clear of a communications crisis - or help you recover when it’s too late. Our services include risk assessment, crisis management workshops, and crisis planning from scratch.



Opinion leader management

Inform, attract and manage influential relationships

Opinion leaders - from celebrities and experts to professional bodies and 'hot bloggers' - can add real weight and personality to your cause. We inform, attract and manage relationships with the people whose ‘word of mouth’ will make your campaign count.




Messaging workshops

Say it right

If you’ve got something to say, but aren’t sure how to frame it, the language to use, or who should hear it, our senior consultants can plan and facilitate an expert workshop to provide the sharp focus that you need. Our messaging workshops can be combined with specialist training to develop your in-house skills.


Media training

You're in the hotseat

Shape core messages, answer difficult questions, project your personality, steer an agenda and deliver soundbites which stick.

Full or half day practical workshop, including the option of live TV and radio interviews with senior journalists.
