Its clients typically require nuanced, credible messaging that resonates with sophisticated audiences, including institutional investors, high-net-worth individuals, and the financial press.

Strategic Expertise and Personal Service

Founded by Bernadette Motion, the agency is built on over two decades of deep industry experience. This includes Board-level leadership at a top City agency, in-house roles, and a period as a journalist at the BBC and on national newspapers. This unique blend of agency, in-house, and journalistic perspectives allows Bernadette Motion PR to offer a genuinely personal service that is both strategic and practical. The agency is known for providing value for money without compromising on the quality of counsel or execution. Rather than deploying large teams, Bernadette Motion PR delivers tailored, hands-on support directly from the founder, ensuring that clients receive senior-level attention and a clear understanding of their objectives.

Core Services and Specialties

While the agency's core focus remains on public relations & communications services, its capabilities are rooted in the specific demands of the financial and investment sectors. Typical services offered include:

• Strategic media relations and press office management
• Thought leadership and bylined article development
• Investor communications and financial messaging
• Reputation management and crisis communications
• Content creation for corporate publications and digital channels
• Internal communications and stakeholder engagement
• Media training and spokesperson preparation

These services are designed to help clients build and protect their reputations, articulate complex ideas clearly, and secure meaningful coverage in target publications. The agency’s long history in the City means it has a well-established network of contacts across financial journalism, which it leverages to generate high-quality results for its clients.

Location and Client Fit

Based in London, the agency is well-positioned to serve clients in the UK’s primary financial hub. Bernadette Motion PR is an excellent fit for organisations that need senior-level strategic input but do not require the overhead of a large agency retainer. It is particularly well-suited to growing financial services firms, asset managers, hedge funds, and professional services practices that value direct access to an experienced consultant. The agency’s freelance model offers flexibility, making it a strong choice for companies seeking a long-term, collaborative relationship with a dedicated communications partner who truly understands their business and market.
