Best Consumer & Lifestyle PR Agency – South England Founded in 2009, Speed believes that working with its staff and for the team should be a brilliant, energising and rewarding experience. Therefore, the company has created a PR communications business designed to energise and inspire. The management team at the company aim to challenge and motivate, whilst being able to enable its clients and people to be the very best they can be. Roberta outlines the firm’s overall view and how staff aim to help clients. “At Speed, we support our clients to ensure that their communication programmes are underpinned by an engaging and inspirational PR content strategy, designed to cut through the clutterverse and secure lasting brand engagement to help our clients achieve their goals, faster.” Focused on the creation of insight-led creative campaigns to truly inspire and engage, Speed blends the distinct talents of experts in PR, social, digital and experiential to deliver multi- channel communications cut- through. Roberta points out the value in PR and how important it is to focus on value of the brand and not just the product price. “For today’s consumers, value remains a big issue. But today, value no longer equates to product price, but increasingly extends to the perceived ‘value’ of all the brand communication they are exposed to. Rather than simply ‘creating content’, brands that focus on the ‘value’ of the content they are providing, will score higher in driving interest and engagement.” To ensure excellence for clients, the firm’s work is founded on real insight, combining market and audience intelligence to deliver communications that support their clients’ business ambitions. Providing the full range of services clients expect from a professional PR agency, alongside a number of additional solutions, Speed is able to meet the needs of a wide variety of businesses. Ultimately, with its a broad client portfolio spanning consumer, lifestyle, business, corporate, food and hospitality, Speed’s big ambition is, quite simply, to help clients and their team achieve theirs.
