We’re best known as the UK market-leader in book PR, and for our award-winning, high-profile consumer PR campaigns.

But we provide PR  launch support to any brand, organisation or individual looking for mass media coverage, regardless of sector. In fact, we’re commonly engaged by those whose existing PR agency failed to deliver the headlines that were promised. From charity causes (like the one that Noel Edmonds, left, is kindly helping us with for Samaritans), government departments and tourist boards to publishers, restaurants, SMEs, corporations and celebrities, we can almost always help.

We go against the grain of other PR agencies because our clients receive good service without the usual bullsh*t. We won’t use fluffy buzzwords, Darling; we’re not hipster graduates fresh out of university; and we never offer launch PR campaigns that sound fantastic but which are are unlikely to secure column inches. This no-nonsense, journalistic approach to launching stuff properly gives our clients a realistic picture of what can and will be achieved from the outset – no ifs, no buts.

Founded by Jon Kirk – widely known as one of Britain’s leading and most in-demand book and celebrity publicists, and a journalist whose clients have included some of the world’s best-known authors, broadcasters and brands – the agency first launched in Bristol in 2008/2009 in partnership with a large news agency. It later relocated to London and, in 2020, adopted a hybrid working model in response to the Covid-19 outbreak. Today, we typically meet clients at The Century Club, a private members’ club on Shaftesbury Avenue in Soho.
