Our Approach
We are an independent strategic communications consultancy, specialising in companies which are transforming lives with their technology. We have a wealth of international experience in delivering powerful and tangible results for brands and in taking them to their next phase of growth.
We believe that success is about being clear about what you want to achieve, engaging with your audience in a meaningful way, giving people the freedom to innovate and building the right teams.
Our honest approach often involves challenging the status quo. Not only that but we think differently. We work collaboratively. And we make it our business to understand your business as well as you do.
WHAT WE DO.
EVENTS & LAUNCHES
Product launches and events are central to what we do. Delivering bespoke experiences that meet the needs of a variety of different brands, we take a personal approach to every brief. Be it a corporate party, a product launch or a round table event, we create campaigns that both tell an engaging story and that capture the hearts and minds of your audience.
INFLUENCER ENGAGEMENT
We believe that content is king and that advocacy is key to delivering brand engagement and trust. We have an extensive network of influencers across multiple sectors with which we have built long-term relationships. Our focus is on integrating influencer relations into a broader communications programme to build communities which drive business growth.
BRAND STRATEGY & MESSAGING
A brand is what a brand does which is why our focus is on getting under the skin of a company’s actions, behaviours and beliefs. Invested in creating cultures, we work closely with clients on their values and tone of voice, brand strategies and creative programmes that help to increase awareness, change or reinforce perceptions and build customer loyalty and value.
MEDIA RELATIONS & STORYTELLING
We pride ourselves on our media relationships which have been built over many years. Recognising that a one size fits all approach does not work, we craft each story individually in a way that meets the business needs of the brand, the journalist who is writing it and the person who is reading it. Every great moment starts with a great story.
REPUTATION MANAGEMENT
With a proven track record in protecting and enhancing the reputation of brands and business leaders, we are experts in analysing reputational needs and in building strategic programmes that deliver optimal results. Part of this includes identifying issues before they arise so that we can stay one step ahead of what is happening around us.
MEDIA TRAINING
Working with a team of experienced media experts, we offer extensive training for those who want to learn how to build their profile, effectively promote their brand or secure great coverage. In the media and influencer world, where first impressions last, we will arm you with the skills and confidence to deliver the very best result every time.
INVESTMENT SUPPORT
We have a number of relationships with investors so understand the space well. Part of our work includes delivering coverage that the investment community reads, strategic counsel and introductions.

Leading up to our world tour, FIAB helped to clarify and articulate vital visions and messaging for Mycelia and The Creative Passport.

Jules is very ambitious, stubborn, driven, and focused on the prize. She’s also very direct, and communicative, and will answer your text at 3am. She will pour her heart and soul in her work, and will take it personal to reach success. We’re very happy to have her by our side.

FIAB has been an indispensable part of our organisation when it comes to our communications and public relations. The team has been absolutely brilliant in helping us sharpen our brand messaging and tone of voice, developing press releases and delivering high quality features in national and international publications. We were particularly impressed with the degree to which the team researched and understood our business model and priorities - this made their work both relevant and impactful. Finally, all of this was delivered in a fun and friendly atmosphere. We couldn't recommend FIAB enough.

On engaging with Five in a Boat we went from no exposure to almost more than we can handle. The high quality of coverage that Five in a Boat is able to secure is wonderful for our business, and has been an extremely useful tool for supporting our professional reputation and growth of our business.

"I've been very impressed by the professionalism, flexibility, and attention to detail exuded by the whole team at Five in a Boat. Working with an external PR firm can pose various communication and coordination challenges but, through proactive communication and close feedback with our internal team, it's been nothing but a pleasure to work with Five in a Boat. They are excellent at understanding our needs, what we want to communicate, and are quick to pick up on opportunities. I couldn't imagine doing PR without them."

FIAB visited our Global Marketing HQ to lead several workshops on everything from global governance to reputation management.
The whole team welcomed their pragmatic insights, warm professionalism and willingness to get into the details of projects we were working on.
I would not hesitate to recommend FIAB to other companies looking to take their communications activities up to the next level.
