Regional roots, national press.
The South East has more growing businesses, consumer brands and founder-led companies per square mile than anywhere else in the UK. It also has more PR agencies per square mile than anywhere else, and most of them sit in central London with central-London rate cards. We sit just outside that bubble, in Kent, with the same press contacts and a more useful working pace.
For clients in the home counties this turns out to be exactly the right setup. The press contacts you need to land coverage are in London, but the team running your account doesn't need to be. Meeting in person is easy by train from anywhere in the region. Remote-first is the default for most briefs, which keeps the bill reasonable.

What we're typically asked to do in the region
A few recurring patterns. A consumer brand launching a product nationally and wanting it covered by the right titles in the right week. A founder with a moment in their story (a milestone, a fundraise, a campaign, a corporate they're taking on) who needs press coverage to amplify it. A small business that's been let down by a national company and needs the consumer-affairs press to take notice. A professional or expert who wants to be the regular media voice in their field.
Each of these has a different shape. The thing they have in common is that they all need someone who genuinely knows the right journalists to call, and is happy to pick up the phone for you.
London brands: a note
We work with plenty of London-based clients. The relationship is no different from anywhere else in the region. We come in for meetings when it's useful, we run things remotely the rest of the time, and we charge what a senior PR is worth, not what a Soho rent costs.
