Our services
Corporate Reputation Management
Our reputation management team works closely with corporates and their Boards of Directors to manage their reputations and achieve their objectives.
As well as broadcast, print media and social media, we also achieve clients’ reputation objectives through stakeholder and threat monitoring and influencing.
Ongoing reputation management can include advising how best to target new markets and product areas using key media, as well as handling announcements of new Directors or acquisitions and disposals of other companies.
We also advise corporates around their financial results and when considering flotations, take-privates, and mergers and acquisitions. As well as external comms, we also advise on shaping internal messaging, including to all key stakeholders.
We also monitor market sentiment to identify threats to your business from pressure groups and regulators, as well as researching and being aware of activist investors and competitor activities.
Private Client Reputation Management
Today news lives forever online, and is easily searchable, including by banks, regulators and competitors.
It has never been more important to ensure that search results for your name are positive, and that inaccurate or misleading information is removed.
Negative search results should be superseded by positive media reports and assets under your control, such as your personal website, social media and philanthropic work.
We are experienced at removing inaccurate content and creating assets under your control and new media reports in order to occupy the first pages of your search engine results.
Legal PR
We specialise in building the brands of law firms of all sizes, from specialist boutique firms to international law firms.
Everything a law firm does contributes to their brand, from national press articles to customer service and social media. We handle all aspects of law firm PR and reputation management.
The most high-profile way to get your messages into the public domain at the least expense to yourself of time and money is to comment on relevant stories breaking in national and international newspapers and broadcast media.
Crisis Communications
Corporates and individuals sometimes become embroiled in sudden media storms. These are often international in nature, receiving fresh interest from other jurisdictions due to the global news cycle. Your reputation can suddenly be in jeopardy, often for things which you did not cause, and sometimes about which you were not aware until you received an inquiry from a journalist.
We help our clients to execute effective PR strategies to manage crisis situations, protect their global reputations, and get their side of the story heard. We are expert in rapidly reading into new matters and preparing a responsive media strategy, and with contacts at all the leading international publications we are well placed to rapidly repair reputations.
Litigation PR
Today high-value, complex, hard-fought international litigation is both very expensive and very uncertain as to the outcome.
Enormous resources are marshalled to tip the scales of justice a few percentage points.
Having an effective public relations campaign both before and during litigation can make the difference between winning and losing high-value matters. It can also help greatly after judgment has been handed down, either to segue to appeal or to communicate your victory optimally.
Often reputational value exceeds matter value, even in multi-million dollar litigations, so understanding reputational risk and reward is as important as understanding legal risk and reward.
Design and Search Engine Optimisation
Our in-house design studio creates assets for clients including websites, videos and corporate branding.
As well as supporting our PR and marketing strategies for clients, we create advertising to deliver our influence campaigns, alongside our public relations and public affairs strategies.
We Search Engine Optimise all the images and text we create for clients to ensure that they rank as highly as possible on global search engine, to maximise the reach and power of our messages.
Public Affairs
Our influence campaigns incorporate public affairs strategies where influencing legislators and public policy is involved.
We help our clients shift the political and regulatory landscape, identifying and addressing potential legislative threats to their businesses.
We engage with the most appropriate All Party Parliamentary Groups, Select Committees, Cabinet Committees as well as officials within Government Departments, and their relevant Special Advisors. We work with senior MPs and their constituents to raise questions in the House and build momentum for our campaigns.
We assist our clients in getting their messages across to politicians and public bodies on both sides of the Atlantic, working with European Union policy makers and think tanks, as well as Senators and US Government Departments where global regulation is concerned.
