At PLMR, we believe in the power of communications to shape debates, influence decisions, and drive real and lasting change. We are one of the UK’s leading, award-winning communications agencies, with offices in London, the Midlands, the East of England and Scotland.
Our purpose is to make a positive and sustainable impact — for our clients, our people and society. Our team of nearly 100 consultants includes former senior journalists, policy advisors, civil servants and school trust leaders. We blend the lateral thinking, experience and capability of a large agency with the personal approach and dedicated client care of a small agency.
Since day one, we’ve put purpose at the heart of everything we do – donating 5% of our profits to charitable causes every year, investing in our people and committing to sustainability in the way we work.
We also run bespoke programmes for disadvantaged sixth formers so they can gain both work and cultural experiences to support their university applications and provide paid work experience and internships to young people from all backgrounds.
We deliver a full-range of high-impact, strategic communications to build and protect reputations, reach target stakeholders and increase pupil and staff recruitment numbers.
