PR agency celebrates ‘landmark year’

A West Midlands-based PR agency is celebrating a “landmark year” and says “the sky is the limit” after achieving its highest-ever fee income and securing its first national award.

R&Co Communications, which operates from Leamington Spa and Birmingham, grew its fee income by 39 per cent in 2024, following a 30 per cent rise the previous year, with bosses hailing the firm’s “ambition and hard work”.  

The agency also claimed three industry awards, including its first national prize at the Veterinary Marketing Association Awards in London, at which it scooped the prize for ‘PR Campaign of the Year’.

Alongside its award wins, R&Co has added new clients such as Worcestershire logistics experts Marshall’s Transport, Buckinghamshire fulfilment firm e2b and European pallet poolers IPP. 

The team also welcomed three new hires, with the addition of social media account director Kirstie Robinson, SEO account director Jack Stocking and social media account manager Joe Tabb.

Peter Robinson, managing director at R&Co, said: “We have enjoyed another landmark year at R&Co, based on hard work, quality recruitment and delivering results for clients who trust us to go the extra mile for them.

“When we rebranded the company from Newsline PR to R&Co in 2022, it was to reflect our ambition to offer all communications services under one roof. 

“That ambition has now turned into reality, with growing specialist teams offering new and expanded digital marketing services to our clients.

“As well as our first SEO-only clients – a landmark in itself for R&Co – the outstanding work delivered before 2024 was reflected in three award wins, including our first national prize.

“We look forward to seeing where 2025 takes us. 

“With the ambition and hard work this team offers, the sky is the limit.”
