A Little About Us

We have worked together for more than five years in various constellations, and as a team we give you:

• Creative services industry knowledge - we have both in-house and agency experience of working with media, design, advertising, digital technology, TV and music industry companies
• A clear understanding of, and delivering on your PR opportunities, and a commitment to ensuring they're always in line with the overall communications strategy
• Access to relevant external expertise - experience gained from handling a broad variety of communications challenges on behalf of others
• Persistence - we ask the right questions until we have the right answers
• Trustworthiness - we deliver both to clients and the media
• A clear focus on getting things done - with no compromise with regards to professionalism
• An impartial view not influenced by internal politics
