Public Assembly

Public Assembly is a PR and communications consultancy based in London, United Kingdom, that focuses on independent brands and the individuals behind them. Founded in 2020 by Hannah Partridge, the agency was created to help smaller, independent companies navigate a media environment that often favours larger, heritage competitors. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, Public Assembly works closely with each client to develop tailored strategies that cut through the noise.

Who They Serve and How They Help

Public Assembly primarily works with independent brands—businesses that are often founder-led, niche, or challengers in their categories. These could range from emerging consumer goods companies to creative studios or cultural projects. The agency’s core mission is to level the playing field, giving these brands the media awareness and consumer engagement they need to compete. Public Assembly takes a holistic view of each client’s business, looking beyond just press coverage to understand their broader goals. This often involves creative collaboration, strategic counsel, and a deep dive into the brand’s identity before any public-facing work begins.

Services and Specialties

Public Assembly offers a range of services designed to build brand visibility and audience connection. While the agency tailors its work to each client, its core offerings typically include the following:

• Public relations and media strategy
• Brand building and marketing
• Creative direction and consultancy
• Network and community marketing
• Storytelling and narrative development
• Influencer and partnership outreach
• Event and experiential marketing support

These services are delivered through a bespoke formula that Public Assembly has developed over its years in operation. The agency’s approach is hands-on and collaborative, often involving close work with founders and small teams who value a more personal, strategic partnership.

Location and Market Focus

Based in London, United Kingdom, Public Assembly is well-positioned to serve both local and international clients. The agency’s London base gives it access to a dense network of media contacts, creative talent, and industry events that are crucial for independent brands. While the agency’s work is often UK-focused, its approach is adaptable to global markets, particularly for brands looking to expand their reach. Public Assembly’s location in one of the world’s most dynamic media hubs is a natural fit for its mission of amplifying independent voices.

Public Assembly is a good fit for independent brands and founders who need more than just press releases—those seeking a strategic partner that understands the challenges of standing out in a crowded market. The agency is particularly suited to businesses that value a collaborative, bespoke approach and are ready to invest in building a strong, authentic narrative. Whether you are launching a new product, repositioning a brand, or simply looking to increase visibility, Public Assembly offers the expertise and focus to help independent brands thrive.
