Whether you’re looking to raise investment, attract customers, push for policy change or change hearts and minds - a targeted PR strategy can make all the difference.  

As a direct result of our activity, clients have told us they’ve: filled up their sales pipeline in days from a piece of targeted coverage, signed new partners, attracted investors, had a huge influx of job applications and seen significant spikes in web traffic. Others have credited our results with establishing their business leaders as true voices of authority in their sector and helping them to move the needle on important policy changes.

We offer comms support to purpose-led organisations - getting them seen in all the right places as they scale.

We can help to:

• Develop distinctive and jargon-free messaging that cuts through with the media and your key audiences

• Design and roll out smart campaigns to educate, persuade, inform and help get your voice heard

• Raise the profile of your business leaders to champion their achievements and industry expertise in the places they need to be noticed 

• Deliver bespoke media training to prepare your spokespeople for how to engage with journalists and land key messages 

• Land keynote speaking opportunities, arrange press trips and offer on-the-ground event support

• Create visual assets we know the media will love - from leading the creative direction of a photoshoot to supporting you through a brand redesign

• Track your business vs. key competitors’ share of voice - identifying successful messages or white space and use those insights to inform PR and marketing strategy

• Evaluate the potential reputational risks at play within your organisation and the steps you can take before an issue occurs

Harpswood was founded on the belief that traditional PR is broken – and it is building a reputation for doing things differently. 

We describe ourselves as ‘can-do’ communicators for a reason. We never rest on our laurels. We enjoy our success - then we’re onto the next. We’re always hungry to generate brilliant results for our clients - and we are determined that our work makes a difference for our clients.

We have gained a reputation for the brilliant work we’ve done with climate organisations and our team’s experience across the sector is exceptional. We’re also proud to work with businesses innovating in healthcare and social impact. 

We love to support businesses as they grow - adapting our strategy as they scale. We work with clients from their earliest stages of starting out (seed to Series A) through to scaling up (Series A/B +) and established businesses like Octopus.

We believe the best results come from building long-lasting relationships with clients through ongoing monthly retainers - this allows us to build momentum for their businesses in the press and secure coverage month in month out.

However, if a client needs support with an important fundraise or is launching a project, we are open to offering shorter term support.

We are communications experts and we are used to taking complex terms and distilling it into clear and compelling narratives. 

Journalists hate jargon. Some businesses (and sad to say, some PR agencies) insist on it. We believe that clarity of communication is everything.
