Our ethos
Always deliver, always keep it simple
Whether you need coaching, coverage, content or cunning, we take on projects we know we can deliver to a high standard (though we do like a challenge). Unlike some public relations types, we don't over-complicate matters – time and budgets are too precious for that.
The team you need, and only the team you need
Work with us and you'll be dealing only with our directors. If we think we'd benefit from additional expertise, we'll bring it in as needed, and you won't ever find yourself in the hands of junior PR agency staff – because we don't have junior PR agency staff.
Lower overheads + lower costs = better value
We operate wherever we are needed, without permanent offices, and that's no accident. By keeping our overheads to a minimum, we keep our costs under tight control which, in turn, means we can offer far better value to you.
Good energy
Pepshop is all about bringing vibrance and energy to your communications – the world, after all, is not black and white. Bringing in a bit of our public relations buzz is good for you and your team; happily, it makes our days better too.
Risk and reward
We're happy to work with those who play safe in their communications, which is most of you out there. But ... we relish trickier public relations challenges, and don't shy away from controversy. Give us a try and see – handled carefully (that's where we come in), risk brings bigger rewards,
Who do we work with?
People who care
Small/medium organisations
Small/medium organisations
We're fans of organisations that try to make the world a better place and bring people together, and we don't care if that makes us sound woke – it's good to give a damn. Whether your group is big and experienced, or small and a bit overwhelmed by the whole media-publicity thing, we'd love to help. We work with groups such as the Windrush 75 Network, which is raising the profile of the 75th anniversary of the Windrush arrival this summer.

The backbone of the country, SMEs such as Mind Of My Own, which makes a fantastic suite of apps to help young people communicate their feelings, can take huge steps forward with carefully-managed public relations and communication strategies.
We know times are tough and budgets are tight, so talk to us to see how we can get your message out there while your competitors are cutting back.
Large businesses
Political operations

Big businesses such as Starbucks inevitably have comms operations in place but use us for special projects, media outreach or specific media training. We're nimble, focused and, helpfully, a valuable resource there only when you need us. Whether your in-house team is looking for extra firepower or specialist expertise, we'll give you maximum value for your budget.

Getting media cut-through in politics isn't as easy as it can seem for the big players. We've run communications in party leadership races, London Mayor campaigns, cross-party APPGs in Westminster and more besides. For example, we helped deliver more coverage for independent candidate Brian Rose in London than the Lib Dems and Greens combined – that's what a pinch of our peppy political public relations can do.
Campaigners

When it comes to working with campaigns, we roll up our sleeves and get stuck in. If that means helping with a march, or getting along to a gathering to support speakers, count us in. We built our experience with groups including internationalists such as Best for Britain and March for Change, through more traditional campaigns such as Save British Farming, to higher-risk public relations operations like Extinction Rebellion.

The best communicators really work at their comms craft, either by doing a lot of it, putting in plenty of challenging practice or, most often, a combination of both.
We provide a toolbox of techniques to take your senior team's media and public speaking skillset to the next level. And we practice what we preach, putting ourselves in the line of fire to keep our media training grounded in real-world experience.

Our core media training is designed around a set of flexible modules, so we can adapt to individual and group needs easily. Our courses are enjoyable and challenging, to ensure you get the most possible out of your time, and so we look forward to running them too.
Although we can train you in a studio setting, we find a regular room is usually better for general training ... and kinder to budgets too.
