About Us

We help you lead the conversation, so your brand is the one that everyone's talking about

You have an important message to share. So every word counts…what you say, how you say it, and who you say it to.

What if your brand knew the right words to say to the right people at the right time? What if you had a PR and social media team by your side to help you achieve that?

Our mission is to help progressive businesses and brands communicate their purpose

We’re not your typical PR team

We’re the wild cards, the ones who bring a fresh perspective to everything we do. Based in London, Truro and Bristol, our reach is broad, and our approach is personal. We love working with challenger mindsets and we specialise in three sectors:

FMCG: category leaders and much-loved household brands

Leisure & Lifestyle: destinations & must-stay hotels, pubs, bars & drinks, homeware & kitchenware

Environment & Social: people & planet, energy, third sector, social enterprises

We’re happy to meet you.

Caring as much about impact as you do

Do you want to partner with a team that is committed to the triple bottom line? This means putting our people and our impact on the planet front and centre of how we run our business. We are B Corp Certified and proud of it.  It’s part of our DNA.

Our values

We’re inquisitive & curious: we dive into the facts to discover the most exciting and relevant stories. We always need to know ‘the why’

We care: we look after each other and our environment. We deliver campaigns with integrity, honesty and transparency

We consult: we provide considered comms, always evaluating the best ROI for our clients

We’re connected: our journalist and influencer contacts are as valuable as our clients

We make it happen: tenacious to the core, we get results that matter
