The enterprise landscape in the UK is changing; more and more companies have blurred the boundaries between digital, mobile and tech, and sectors which didn’t even exist 10 years ago are now well-established. It makes sense, then, that a new kind of agency should exist to help this generation of innovative start-ups and venture capital firms reach their potential, and Cordelia Meacher’s FieldHouse Associates does just that.

Ostensibly a PR agency, FieldHouse provides a multi-faceted communications strategy for its clients that focuses on results, not simply coverage – be it for an exit, new funding, or a product launch, the company promises to provide top-level strategic advice with “no hype, no crazy creative, and no way-out promises”. It is an approach which has seen leading names in tech flock to FieldHouse; its clients include businesses such as Somo, Qriously and EVRYTHNG, and investors including Octopus Investments, MMC Ventures, the Angel CoFund and the Accelerator Academy. Meacher says the business is “growing like crazy” with new business every week and two new hires on the horizon – it seems clear FieldHouse has hit upon something big in PR.
