On The Ball

On The Ball was founded by Ellie Ball, who brought together her experience working across several agencies in Manchester, United Kingdom. Having developed a versatile skill set that spans multiple industries—from fashion to construction—Ball identified a gap in the market for a PR and communications agency that could offer a genuinely integrated approach. The agency was built on the premise that small businesses, in particular, need to make every channel work harder, and that effective communication should be both creative and measurable.

Current Focus and Approach

Today, On The Ball operates as a Manchester-based public relations and communications agency that focuses on helping brands build direct conversations with their audiences. The agency’s philosophy centres on optimising every available channel—from earned media to owned content—so that clients can not only reach their customers but also monitor and enhance the sentiment around their engagement. This data-informed approach allows On The Ball to provide evidence of impact, moving beyond simple output metrics to demonstrate real business value. The agency serves a diverse client base, ranging from consumer internet businesses to information technology and services companies, as well as brands in the marketing and advertising space.

Services and Specialties

On The Ball delivers a range of services designed to cover the full spectrum of modern communications. While the agency’s core offering is rooted in traditional public relations, it has expanded to include digital and social media capabilities. Key services include:

• Media relations and press coverage
