Shout louder
Attention is the new currency. And every business is fighting for the spotlight.
We're here to position you centre-stage and help you shout above the noise.
Erdington, five miles north-east of Birmingham city centre, has likely never featured in a guide of best places to live. Yet growing up there was as vibrant and diverse as any place I have ever lived, before or since.It's why my affection for Birmingham runs straight to the heart – a love for a city that has always had to fight for its place at the top table. Even its second-city status is called into question by those who feel our accent and some questionable motorway architecture should dump us further down the pecking order.But the Commonwealth Games proved (to those who doubted it) that this city has everything to give. And more. It offered a true glimpse of the connection and camaraderie that exists at every turn. For Birmingham is packed with real people who are devoid of delusions but blessed with a richness of soul that keeps their heads held high. Make no mistake, this city works like no other. The businesses that thrive here do so without pretense. They graft, they grind, they innovate and they deliver.As a business we are proud to be here, but grateful too – grateful that Birmingham wheedled its way into our hearts and melted them from within.

Projects that make an impact
It all comes down to results, right? While we all want to work with people we like, we only rest once we’ve delivered campaigns to be proud of.For bus manufacturer Wrightbus we generated over 4,000 stories in an 18-month period worth a staggering £10 million in advertising value. For the Black Country Living Museum we landed more than £2million-worth of TV coverage in just four days. For JCB, our creative campaign to launch its pothole-repairing machine in 2021 not only achieved widespread coverage across the United Kingdom but helped spark a national debate about the sorry state of Britain’s roads.None of this happens by accident. It takes time and effort to get to the root of a story and then build an unignorable campaign around it. And that’s exactly what we’ve been doing for the last 15 years - telling stories that make the nation sit up and take notice.
Our Values
We are here to make a difference - this isn’t solely about banging out releases and quantifying coverage, it’s about creating movements and building momentum.
Our aim is to build long-lasting relationships - half of our clients have been with us for more than five years, two for 15 years!
We don’t promote anything we don’t believe in - we have a solid, lean business model so we don’t need to scrap for work to make ends meet.
Our work is a reflection of us - we go the extra mile and we’re available 24/7.
