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.

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.
