Stonyrock

Based in Fetcham, United Kingdom, Stonyrock is a public relations and communications consultancy that was founded in 2016. The agency operates from this Surrey village, positioning itself within easy reach of both London and the surrounding regions. In a market where community relations and stakeholder engagement are increasingly critical for large-scale projects, Stonyrock has carved out a niche focused on helping organisations navigate complex planning and reputational challenges.

Community Engagement and Reputation Management

Stonyrock's core offering revolves around community and stakeholder engagement, coupled with reputation management. The agency takes a research-led approach, developing bespoke strategies tailored to the specific audience for each project. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all methodology, Stonyrock invests time in understanding the unique dynamics of each community and stakeholder group. This is particularly important for clients in sectors such as residential and senior living development, energy, and infrastructure, where public perception can make or break a project. The agency’s work often involves facilitating difficult conversations and building trust between developers and local residents, local authorities, and other interested parties.

Creative Communications and Service Suite

Beyond traditional PR and consultation, Stonyrock offers a creative suite of communications materials. This includes filmmaking, neighbour liaison programmes, project websites, and marketing materials. The agency also customises and professionally facilitates webinars and workshops, adapting to the growing need for digital and hybrid engagement methods. For clients facing planning or communications agendas that require fresh ideas, Stonyrock provides a full-service approach that blends strategic consulting with hands-on production. Their typical services and specialties include:

• Community and stakeholder engagement strategy
• Reputation management and crisis communications
• Planning and development communications
• Filmmaking and video content production
• Webinar and workshop facilitation
• Project website development
• Marketing materials and collateral design
• Neighbour liaison and public consultation
• Management consulting for communications

Client Sectors and Approach

Stonyrock works across a diverse range of sectors, including residential and senior living developers, government departments, energy providers, schools, colleges, housing associations, local authorities, private landowners, and those involved in large-scale strategic land and regeneration projects. The agency’s experience spans both public and private sectors, giving it a broad understanding of the different pressures and expectations each brings. For example, working with a government department requires a different sensitivity than advising a private developer, and Stonyrock’s team tailors its approach accordingly. The agency’s philosophy is driven by a commitment to protecting and enhancing the client’s reputation, ensuring that no stone is left unturned in the pursuit of effective communication.

Stonyrock is a good fit for organisations—particularly those in development, energy, or public services—that are facing significant planning applications, community opposition, or reputational challenges. Agencies and companies that need a partner to handle the delicate task of stakeholder engagement, or who require creative communications materials to support a consultation process, will find Stonyrock’s research-driven and bespoke approach valuable. Based in Fetcham, United Kingdom, the agency is well-placed to serve clients across the South East and beyond, offering a blend of local understanding and professional communications expertise.
