I’ve worked with Will and his team several times. Both he and his team are professional and deeply knowledgeable in their understanding of the media. They consistently delivered coverage for us in top-flight publications, including the Financial Times, Dow Jones, and Barron’s. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

I first retained Will in 2019 and we continue to work together to this day. He has an excellent understanding of both politics and the media and has helped to promote my work surrounding Birmingham Pride, but also as a successful entrepreneur and businessman. While we continue to work together today, I also count Will as a friend and often seek his strategic advice. I can't recommend him highly enough.
