About us
In a world where technology and social trends are reshaping every sector, it's never been more important to tell your story.
Our Approach
We've created a transformational approach to business PR. We call it the Book of Ideas©
Like all the best ideas it's beautifully simple. It's an approach to business PR and content marketing that combines editorial ideation and integrated content planning to arm businesses with a powerful library of editorial ideas and IP that can be deployed over time.
The ideas we create are razor sharp - that means the media will listen to them and your target audiences will want to read them.
The Book of Ideas© is also highly measurable and flexible enabling you to constantly create fresh PR and content ideas that will support your changing objectives.
Telling your business story with purpose
We offer decades of experience in business PR, journalism and content creation working with global enterprises as well as well as with smaller businesses and entrepreneurs.
Our client experience covers a wide variety of industries such as martech, ecommerce, adtech, media, marketing, design, service design, data management, SaaS, telco, fintech, cyber security and business consultancy sectors amongst others.
